Standard CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune for later review, whereas scOS is a proactive guardian. While traditional systems rely on 'motion masks' that often fail or trigger false alarms from spiders and wind, our MotionX technology focuses on 'important activity,' recognising people and vehicles with zero false alarms. Instead of just watching a crime happen, scOS intervenes the moment a threat is detected, using AI-driven light and voice responses to stop intruders before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security powerhouse. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub to unlock proactive AI features without needing a full hardware overhaul.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First, our Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside, discouraging opportunistic burglars. Second, our MotionX technology accurately identifies suspicious behaviour, even if an intruder is masked or crawling. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they are being watched by AI.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. All data processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before escalating to our secure UK data centres for AI analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and data belong solely to you and are never sold to third parties. You have total control over your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you via our secure app.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a package. scOS provides 360-degree property intelligence, detecting threats at your boundary line before they ever reach the house. While doorbells are often wireless and easily jammed, scOS uses reliable wired connections and AI that understands the difference between a delivery driver and a prowler, stopping crime in its tracks rather than just filming it.

With Birstall's proximity to the A6 and Leicester, vehicle-related property crime is a key concern for residents. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which cross-references car registrations against the national database. This allows the system to spot suspicious vehicles or cloned plates immediately, providing an early warning system that protects your driveway and your family's cars.

scOS uses Person Recognition to learn the normal behaviour of your family and regular visitors. Unlike facial recognition, which can be invasive and unreliable, our AI looks at movement patterns and habits. This means it can distinguish between a family member coming home from Watermead Park and a stranger loitering near your side gate, reducing unnecessary alerts while keeping security tight.

Yes, we provide professional UK-based installation for every scOS system. Our engineers will visit your Birstall home, set up the Intelligence Hub, and ensure all cameras and IoT speakers are perfectly positioned for maximum coverage. The process usually takes between 4 and 6 hours, and we'll even show you how to use the scOS Director AI before we leave.
