Most CCTV systems are passive, meaning they only record footage for you to look at after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' in real-time. This means it can distinguish between a person approaching your door and a cat crossing your lawn, eliminating the false alarms that plague traditional systems. scOS doesn't require you to set up complex motion zones; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, the system doesn't just record—it intervenes with automatic lights and voice warnings to deter the intruder immediately. It’s a complete security solution that works to prevent crime, not just document it.

Yes, scOS is designed to be highly flexible and can work with most existing wired IP camera systems, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. Our goal is to transform your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, proactive security network. During our professional installation process, which usually takes 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup to ensure full compatibility with our Intelligence Hub. By integrating your existing cameras, you can access advanced scOS features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection without needing to replace all your hardware. We always recommend wired connections over wireless to ensure your system is immune to signal jamming.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your home safe. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your daily habits and replicate them when you're away, making your home look occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious activity the moment someone enters your property, even if they are trying to hide their face. This triggers the third layer: Active Intervention. Your home will respond with escalating light sequences and clear voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach removes the criminal's greatest advantage—the element of surprise—and signals that your home is professionally protected, usually causing them to flee before they even attempt a break-in.

We take your privacy very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. Unlike other brands that may send your footage abroad, we ensure your data stays within the UK and is fully GDPR compliant. Your Intelligence Hub processes most information locally for speed and privacy, only using the cloud for storage and remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have complete control over your 24/7 recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app from anywhere in the world. Your home's security data is your business, and we keep it that way.

A video doorbell is a great way to see who's at the front door, but it's not a complete security system. It only covers a small area and is often reactive—alerting you only after someone has already reached your door. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire perimeter and identifying threats before they get close to your home. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS works to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your property through proactive light and voice deterrents. With professional wired installation and advanced AI that can recognise family members and suspicious behaviour, scOS offers a much higher level of protection than any consumer-grade doorbell.

Bestwood Village's proximity to the Country Park means there is often a lot of legitimate foot traffic near residential properties. scOS uses advanced Activity Pattern Recognition to learn the difference between a hiker passing by and someone loitering near your boundary. Our MotionX technology is specifically tuned to ignore 'noise' like swaying trees or animals, focusing only on human activity that matters. This means you won't be bothered by constant alerts from park visitors, but you will be immediately notified if someone shows an unusual interest in your property, providing the perfect balance of security and peace of mind.

For residents who commute into Nottingham, vehicle security is often a top priority. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which can identify every car that enters your driveway and check its registration against the DVLA database. This helps to flag cloned plates or suspicious vehicles that may be scouting the area. You can even use our scOS Director AI to ask, 'What cars were on the drive while I was at work?' and get an instant report. This feature provides an extra layer of intelligence, ensuring that your vehicles and your property are monitored even when you're miles away.

Bestwood Village has a unique character, and we know that residents value their privacy and the village's aesthetic. Our professional UK installation team is trained to install our cameras and IoT speakers discreetly, ensuring they provide maximum coverage without being an eyesore. Because our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, there's no need for physical sensors or unsightly wiring around your garden. The system is designed to be a silent, invisible protector that only makes its presence known when a genuine threat is detected, preserving the charm of your home while providing state-of-the-art security.
