Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens so you can watch the footage later. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just detect motion; it identifies "important activity," such as a person approaching your boundary, while ignoring wind, animals, or spiders. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS auto-detects your property lines and uses external IoT speakers and lighting to intervene and deter intruders before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, 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. We transform your "dumb" cameras into an intelligent network by connecting them to our Intelligence Hub, which provides the local processing power needed for our advanced AI features. This allows you to upgrade to world-class intelligence without the cost of replacing all your existing cameras.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your internal activity patterns and replicate them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, MotionX detection identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Finally, the system uses active intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS triggers instant illumination and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they have been spotted and are being monitored.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data stays yours and is never sold to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid approach: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes video locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door—often when it's already too late. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view and often relies on "dumb" motion sensing that triggers for every passing car, scOS monitors your entire boundary. It identifies threats at the edge of your property, provides escalating deterrents to stop them, and uses DVLA-linked vehicle recognition to flag suspicious cars. It’s a comprehensive security shield, not just a digital peephole.

Botley's high crime rate, driven by its proximity to the M27, requires a system that stops criminals before they act. scOS uses escalating voice deterrents from external IoT speakers. If our AI detects a person on your property, it can deliver a polite warning. If they persist, the warning becomes more authoritative. This immediate, human-like intervention is incredibly effective at driving away opportunistic thieves who are looking for an easy target near major transport links.

The M27 corridor can bring unwanted vehicle traffic through Botley. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically scans the registration of every car that enters your property. It checks these against the national database to identify cloned plates or vehicles that have been flagged for suspicious activity. This provides an essential layer of intelligence, alerting you the moment an unrecognised or suspicious vehicle pulls into your drive.

Burglars often scout homes in Botley to see who is away. Our Presence Simulation goes beyond simple light timers; it uses AI to learn your actual habits—when you move between rooms and which lights you use. When you're away, scOS replicates these patterns realistically. This makes your home appear occupied to anyone watching, providing a powerful first line of defence that prevents your home from being targeted in the first place.

Hampshire Constabulary faces high demand in areas like Botley. scOS helps by being your proactive first responder. By using AI to detect and deter intruders before a crime is committed, scOS reduces the need for police intervention. If an incident does occur, scOS provides high-quality, 24/7 recorded evidence and allows you to use scOS Director to quickly find the exact footage needed for an investigation.
