Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, often providing grainy footage that is useless for prosecution. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person approaching your home—while ignoring wind, animals, or shadows. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries and intervenes the moment a threat is detected, turning your security from a witness into a digital guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our UK engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub to unlock advanced AI features like vehicle recognition and proactive deterrents.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop crime before it happens. First, our Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside, even when you're away. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour or concealed faces the moment someone enters your property. Finally, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination from smart lighting followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers, ensuring intruders know they are being watched and recorded.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and security, with critical events escalated to our secure UK-based cloud servers for 24/7 access. We are fully GDPR compliant, and unlike many international competitors, we never sell your data or allow third-party access; your footage remains entirely under your control and is stored for up to two weeks.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already caused damage or stolen a parcel. scOS provides 360-degree intelligence for your entire property, detecting threats at the boundary line rather than the doorstep. While a doorbell is a passive notification tool, scOS is a complete security solution that uses AI to intervene and drive criminals away before they ever reach your front door.

In rural areas like Belton, response times for Humberside Police can vary depending on their current deployments in Scunthorpe or Doncaster. scOS provides an immediate, automated first line of defence that doesn't wait for a patrol car to arrive. By using escalating voice warnings and proactive lighting, the system often resolves the threat independently, though it also provides you with high-quality evidence should you need to involve the authorities later.

Rural properties often have outbuildings or sheds that are prime targets for theft. scOS uses automatic property boundary detection to monitor your entire plot, not just the main house. If someone approaches a detached garage or garden office, the system identifies the 'important activity' and can trigger specific deterrents for those zones, ensuring your tools and equipment are as protected as your home.

Absolutely. One of the standout features of our MotionX AI is its ability to distinguish between 'important activity' (like a person) and 'nuisance motion' (like a fox, a neighbor's cat, or wind-blown trees). This is particularly useful in villages like Belton where wildlife is common. You won't be woken up by false alarms at 3 AM just because a deer walked past your gate.
