Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which moves beyond simple motion detection that triggers for every spider or gust of wind. MotionX understands 'important activity,' recognising people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their figure. While standard systems wait for you to check an app, scOS intervenes automatically. It detects property boundaries without you needing to draw lines, and if a threat is detected, it uses escalating responses—from instant lighting to AI-driven voice warnings from external speakers—to stop the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes data locally before escalating to the cloud, giving your old cameras the power of MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive AI responses without the need for a total hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence that begins before a criminal even touches your property. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal lighting and activity patterns to make the house appear occupied when you're away, which is the most effective way to stop a burglary from being planned. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour and covered faces with zero false alarms. Finally, if an intruder persists, scOS initiates an Active Intervention. This isn't just a siren; it’s a smart response where external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings and lights illuminate the area, letting the intruder know they have been specifically identified.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Unlike many competitors who ship data to overseas servers, all our data centres are located right here in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your footage remains your property—we never sell or share your data. The system uses a hybrid approach: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes video locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for advanced AI analysis and 24/7 recording storage. You have total control over your data through the scOS app, where you can access up to two weeks of recorded history from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they’ve already pressed it or triggered a laggy notification. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front porch, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from back gardens to side alleys. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens. A doorbell won't simulate your presence inside the house or deliver an escalating voice warning to a trespasser in your garden. scOS provides professional-grade, wired reliability that can't be jammed like wireless doorbells, ensuring your Bowerhill home is protected 24/7.

Bowerhill is a safe community, but its proximity to the Melksham industrial areas and the Kennet & Avon Canal can lead to opportunistic trespassing. scOS is designed to handle these 'edge' cases perfectly. Our MotionX technology is smart enough to ignore the movement of wildlife or trees by the canal, but it will instantly flag a person attempting to enter your property from an unusual angle. This ensures that even in a low-crime area, you have a high-intelligence system that only alerts you when it truly matters, maintaining your peace of mind without constant false alarms.

Yes, scOS is highly effective at protecting outbuildings. If you have a garage or shed containing expensive tools or bikes, we can integrate cameras to monitor these specific boundaries. The system’s escalating response means that if someone approaches your shed at 3 AM, the scOS Intelligence Hub can trigger external lights and a voice warning before they even touch the lock. Because the system is wired, it provides a much more reliable connection for detached buildings than standard Wi-Fi-based security systems.

Wiltshire Police value clear, high-definition evidence that can be used in court. scOS provides exactly that, with 24/7 recording stored in our secure UK cloud for up to two weeks. Because our AI identifies 'important activity,' you don't have to scrub through hours of empty footage to find an incident. You can simply ask the scOS Director to find the relevant clip. This professional-grade data is far more useful to local authorities than the low-resolution, motion-triggered clips provided by most consumer-grade security cameras.
