Traditional CCTV is reactive—it simply records a crime as it happens. scOS is proactive. The heart of our system is MotionX, an AI that understands 'important activity.' While standard systems trigger false alarms for every fox or swaying branch in Blean, MotionX ignores animals, wind, and cobwebs, focusing only on human threats. It doesn't require you to set up complex zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. Most importantly, scOS intervenes. It uses external IoT speakers and lights to warn off intruders before they can break in, turning your cameras from passive witnesses into active deterrents.

Yes, you can. scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have a system installed at your Blean property, our Intelligence Hub can often be integrated to provide the AI 'brains' for your existing 'eyes.' During our professional UK installation, our engineers will perform a full assessment of your hardware. This allows you to benefit from our advanced MotionX detection, presence simulation, and escalating response protocols without the need for a complete and costly hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a three-tier approach to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your daily habits and mimics them when you're away—perhaps commuting into Canterbury or London—making your home look occupied. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious human behaviour, even if the person is wearing a mask or hoodie. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder crosses your boundary, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates lights. This immediate, escalating response is designed to make criminals feel exposed and flee before they reach your home.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK-based data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike many smart home brands, we never sell your data. Your Intelligence Hub processes activity locally for maximum speed and privacy, only using our secure cloud for storage and remote access. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks. In Blean, you can trust that your home's data is handled with the highest level of British security.

A video doorbell is a reactive device with a very narrow focus; it only tells you someone is at your front door. scOS provides comprehensive property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, including side gates and gardens, and uses AI to stop intruders before they ever reach your door. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. Additionally, scOS is a professional, wired system that cannot be jammed by the WiFi-disrupting tools often used by modern burglars.

Blean is surrounded by beautiful woodland, which means plenty of local wildlife like foxes, badgers, and deer. Standard motion-sensing cameras would be constantly triggering false alerts, but scOS is different. Our MotionX AI is specifically trained to ignore animals and focus only on human activity. It recognises the human form and behaviour, meaning you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a fox in your garden. You only get alerted when there is a genuine threat, giving you true peace of mind without the 'notification fatigue' of traditional systems.

For many in Blean, the daily commute to Canterbury or London means the house is empty for long periods. scOS is designed for this lifestyle. Our Presence Simulation technology is far more advanced than a simple light timer; it simulates realistic human activity patterns inside your home to deter burglars who scout for empty properties. You can also use 'scOS Director' to check in on your home via your phone, asking natural questions like 'Has there been any unusual activity today?' It’s like having a virtual security guard watching over your home while you're at work.

Blean is a very safe village, but low crime rates can sometimes lead to a false sense of security. Criminals often target affluent, quiet areas precisely because they expect security to be lax. scOS ensures you aren't an easy target. By having a visible, proactive AI system, you send a clear message that your property is protected by the latest technology. Our system doesn't just wait for a crime to happen; it actively works to maintain the safety of your home, ensuring that Blean remains the peaceful place you love to live.
