Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which moves beyond simple motion detection. While standard systems are plagued by false alarms from spiders, wind, or rain, MotionX focuses only on 'important activity.' It recognises human behaviour and figures regardless of how they are moving or if they are trying to hide. Because scOS understands what it is seeing, it can intervene automatically with light and voice deterrents the moment a boundary is crossed, rather than just giving you a video of the theft the next morning.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you have a modern, wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely transform them into an AI-powered security network. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your current 'dumb' cameras to the scOS Hub, we give them the ability to detect property boundaries, recognise vehicles via DVLA databases, and participate in our proactive deterrent protocols, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement while vastly upgrading your protection.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal reaches your door. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your normal internal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the home appear occupied. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary, even if the person is wearing a mask or hood. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat persists, the system triggers escalating responses. This includes instant illumination and clear voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. Unlike a simple alarm, scOS tells the intruder exactly what they are doing, proving they are being watched by an intelligent system, which is usually enough to make them flee.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who send all your data to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK data centres for cloud storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your data with third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. By keeping our company, support teams, and data infrastructure within the UK, we ensure your home's intelligence remains private and protected by British law.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell might capture a package thief, scOS is designed to stop the crime from happening in the first place. It monitors your entire property boundary, not just the front door, and uses proactive AI to intervene the moment someone steps onto your land. Furthermore, scOS is a hardwired system, meaning it cannot be defeated by the WiFi jamming devices that are increasingly used to bypass wireless doorbells and cameras. It offers professional-grade security rather than a consumer-grade gadget.

Bisley and the wider Surrey Heath area are often targeted for high-value vehicle theft. scOS provides a critical advantage with its DVLA-integrated vehicle recognition. The system doesn't just see a car; it reads the plate and checks it against national databases. If a vehicle with cloned plates or one associated with suspicious activity enters your driveway, scOS can immediately alert you and trigger a 'high-alert' mode for your property's deterrents. This proactive approach is designed to stop car thieves before they even attempt to break into your home for the keys.

Many homes in Bisley feature large gardens or are situated near the common, which can make traditional security zones difficult to manage. scOS uses automatic property boundary detection. Our AI identifies the physical limits of your land without you needing to draw complex lines in an app. It understands the difference between a neighbour walking past your hedge and someone actually stepping onto your lawn. This ensures that your proactive deterrents—like the voice warnings and lights—only activate when there is a genuine threat to your specific property.

Presence Simulation is one of our most powerful features for Bisley residents who commute or travel. Unlike a simple light timer, scOS learns how you actually live. It records the patterns of when lights go on and off, and even the subtle movements within the house. When you're away, it replicates these patterns perfectly, making it look like someone is home. To an observer on the street, your house appears occupied, which is the single most effective way to deter burglars from even considering your property as a target.
