Traditional CCTV is passive—it records what happens after the crime occurs. scOS is active. Our Intelligence Hub uses advanced AI to monitor your cameras 24/7, detects suspicious behaviour in real-time, and responds automatically. We call this MotionX. When an intruder is detected, the system can trigger presence simulation (flashing lights, audio alerts), immediate alerts to you, and professional intervention—all within seconds. Your current CCTV becomes evidence after a crime; scOS stops the crime from happening.

Yes. scOS works with most wired IP cameras from standard manufacturers. The Intelligence Hub connects to your existing network and instantly transforms your cameras into an intelligent security system. If you don't have cameras yet, we can install them as part of your scOS setup. Our professional installation is available, or if you're tech-confident, you can self-setup. Either way, you'll have a fully operational AI security system.

scOS uses three complementary layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation: when an intruder is detected, the system triggers flashing lights and audio alerts to make your home appear occupied and alert—criminals prefer easy targets. Second, MotionX AI detection: the system identifies threatening behaviour patterns and sends you instant alerts so you're aware immediately. Third, Active Intervention: scOS can trigger professional response, contact emergency services, or activate additional smart home devices—all automatically. Criminals know they've been detected within seconds and abandon the attempt.

Your data is processed and stored in UK data centres, ensuring full GDPR compliance and data sovereignty. Sensitive information is encrypted both in transit and at rest. The Intelligence Hub processes video locally for instant threat detection, so detection happens on-device without unnecessary cloud uploads. Only essential information and alerts are transmitted securely to scOS servers for logging and professional response coordination. You retain full control of your footage.

A video doorbell shows you who's at the door—but you're already being targeted. scOS stops crime before it reaches your door. While a doorbell is reactive (you see the threat after it arrives), scOS is proactive. The Intelligence Hub monitors all entry points and grounds simultaneously, detects suspicious behaviour patterns, and responds automatically in seconds. A doorbell is a camera. scOS is a complete security system that protects your entire property, 24/7, with AI-powered intervention.

scOS requires an internet connection for AI features and professional monitoring to work. During an outage, your cameras will continue to record locally on the Intelligence Hub, preserving footage for later review. However, AI threat detection, alerts, and automated responses won't function until your connection is restored. We recommend having a stable broadband connection; if outages are frequent in your area, discuss backup options with our team during setup.

Professional installation typically takes 2-4 hours depending on camera placement and network setup. We'll position cameras for optimal coverage, integrate them with your Intelligence Hub, run security tests, and walk you through the system. If you're tech-confident, self-setup is straightforward—most users complete it in 1-2 hours following our guided setup process. Either way, you'll have full 24/7 AI protection immediately after installation.

Scaling is simple. The Intelligence Hub supports up to 32 cameras on a single device. You can add new cameras anytime—just connect them to your network and add them via the scOS app. Each new camera instantly benefits from MotionX AI monitoring. No complex reconfiguration or downtime required. Many customers start with 2-3 key entry points and expand coverage over time.

scOS detects threats and responds in seconds. The Intelligence Hub processes video in real-time locally, identifying suspicious behaviour within 2-3 seconds of detection. Immediate actions (presence simulation, alerts to your phone) happen instantly. If professional intervention is triggered, our response team contacts you and emergency services within seconds. Speed is everything in security—we don't make criminals wait.

scOS is priced per camera from just 63p per day—no hidden fees, no monthly subscriptions, no surprises. You purchase the Intelligence Hub once, add as many cameras as you need, and pay a simple per-camera fee. Professional installation is available for a one-time fee. That's it. Transparent pricing, genuine protection, no corporate lock-in.
