Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to prevent it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' in real-time. Unlike standard systems that require complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from pets or wind, MotionX works out of the box to recognise people and vehicles with zero false alarms. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action—using automatic light responses and voice deterrents to warn off intruders before they can reach your home. It’s the difference between watching a crime and stopping one.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will integrate your existing cameras with our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence network, giving you access to proactive protection and our conversational AI, scOS Director, without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your home safe. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns when you're away. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour and recognises people even if they are trying to hide their identity. Third, if an intruder enters your property, the system triggers an Active Intervention, including instant lighting and voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. This proactive approach ensures that criminals are deterred long before they can attempt a break-in.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is 100% UK-based, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We process data locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and only use the cloud for advanced analysis and secure storage. We never sell your data, and you have full control over your recordings. You can access 24/7 footage from the last 14 days through our secure app, giving you peace of mind that your home and your data are protected.

Video doorbells are reactive and only cover your front door. They are also prone to Wi-Fi jamming. scOS provides a whole-property, wired solution that is much more secure and reliable. Our AI monitors your entire boundary, detecting threats long before they reach your door. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and proactive voice warnings, scOS stops crime in its tracks, whereas a doorbell often only records the crime as it happens. For a comprehensive security solution, scOS is the far superior choice.

Barnton's location near the Trent and Mersey Canal means some properties have unique access points. scOS features Automatic Property Boundary Detection, which uses AI to automatically map out your property lines, including those bordering the canal. This ensures that the system knows exactly where your land ends, providing precise protection and alerting you the moment someone steps onto your property from the towpath or the road.

While Barnton has a lower crime rate than the national average, it's important not to become complacent. Opportunistic thieves often target quieter villages because they assume security is lower. scOS provides a powerful deterrent that makes your home a 'hard target.' By using Presence Simulation and active AI intervention, you can maintain the safety of your home and ensure that your property remains a low-risk area for years to come.

scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically logs every vehicle that enters your property and checks its plates against the national database. This is an essential feature for protecting your cars and identifying suspicious vehicles in the area. If a vehicle with cloned or suspicious plates is detected on your driveway, scOS can immediately alert you and trigger a voice deterrent, helping to prevent vehicle theft before it happens.
