scOS is a proactive intelligence system, representing a major leap forward from traditional, passive CCTV. While standard cameras merely record footage for you to watch after a crime has occurred, scOS uses MotionX technology to actively monitor your property for 'important activity.' It is designed to ignore common false alarm triggers like seagulls, wind, or shadows, focusing only on genuine human threats. Unlike traditional systems that require you to manually set up motion zones, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries in Birdham. Most importantly, scOS is designed to intervene; when a threat is detected, it uses an escalating response of lights and voice warnings to stop intruders before they can cause any harm.

In most cases, yes. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with high-quality wired IP cameras from leading manufacturers like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If your Birdham home already has a professional wired setup, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate those cameras, instantly upgrading them with our advanced AI capabilities. During our professional UK installation process, which takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will perform a full assessment of your existing hardware. This means you can enjoy the benefits of MotionX detection and scOS Director without the need for a completely new set of cameras, making it a very efficient way to modernise your home security.

scOS uses a unique three-layer deterrent system to keep your home safe. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic your home's natural activity patterns, making it look like someone is always in—a vital feature for the many residents who travel or have second homes. The second layer is our MotionX AI, which accurately identifies people and suspicious behaviour, even if they are trying to hide their face or silhouette. Finally, if an intruder enters your property, the system triggers Active Intervention. This involves external IoT speakers delivering clear voice warnings and the activation of bright lights. This escalating response is designed to let the intruder know they are being watched by an intelligent system, which is usually enough to make them flee immediately.

We prioritise your privacy by keeping all data operations within the UK.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and often generates numerous false alarms from passers-by. scOS provides comprehensive, 360-degree intelligence for your entire property. It uses MotionX to eliminate false alerts and automatically detects your property boundaries, so you only get notified when it truly matters. Unlike a doorbell, which is reactive, scOS is proactive—it uses presence simulation and active deterrents to stop criminals before they even get close to your door. Additionally, scOS uses secure wired connections, which are far more reliable and harder to jam than the Wi-Fi signals used by most video doorbells.

Birdham's proximity to Chichester Harbour and the marina means many properties have high-value marine equipment or are second homes left empty for periods. scOS is specifically designed for this. Our 'Presence Simulation' feature uses AI to learn your typical patterns and mimic them while you're away, making the property look occupied. You can also use 'scOS Director' to quickly check in from anywhere, asking questions like 'Has there been any activity near the boat storage today?' to get an instant AI-generated summary. This gives you total peace of mind that your property and assets are being actively protected and monitored.

Yes, scOS is particularly effective for the varied and often large property layouts found in Birdham. Our system features 'Automatic Property Boundary Detection,' which means the AI learns exactly where your land ends and the public space begins without you having to draw lines on a screen. This is ideal for properties with large gardens or multiple access points. Furthermore, our 'Escalating Response' ensures that if someone enters your land, they are met with increasingly firm deterrents. Whether you have a large garden, a garage, or a long driveway, scOS provides consistent, intelligent monitoring across the entire area, ensuring no blind spots are left for intruders to exploit.

Using scOS is as simple as having a conversation, thanks to 'scOS Director.' You don't need to navigate complex menus or review hours of footage. You can simply ask the system questions like, 'Director, has anyone been near the garage today?' or 'Show me any unusual activity from the weekend.' The AI will instantly find the relevant clips and give you a summary. This makes it incredibly easy for anyone to stay informed about their home's security, providing the power of a professional security team through a simple, intuitive interface on your smartphone or tablet.
