Traditional CCTV is passive—it records video you review after a crime occurs. scOS is active. Our AI continuously monitors your cameras, identifies suspicious behaviour in real-time, and automatically triggers professional-grade audio warnings that deter intruders and alert authorities. Unlike basic motion detection that triggers false alarms, our MotionX technology understands human behaviour and distinguishes genuine threats from pets or passing vehicles, so you get alerts that matter.

Yes. scOS works with most wired IP cameras already installed or commonly available on the market. During professional installation, our technicians assess your existing infrastructure and integrate compatible cameras into the Intelligence Hub. If you prefer self-setup, we provide detailed guides for compatible camera models. Whether you're upgrading an old system or protecting a new property, scOS fits into your existing setup.

scOS combines three powerful deterrence layers. First, Presence Simulation displays activity patterns on internal screens and external displays, making your home appear occupied even when you're away. Second, MotionX AI detects suspicious activity—loitering, probing doors or windows, attempted entry—in seconds. Third, when a threat is detected, scOS immediately activates audible warnings at dangerous sound levels, disrupts the intruder, and coordinates with emergency services. Criminals hate attention and noise; scOS guarantees both.

All footage and analytics are processed through UK data centres and stored with enterprise-grade encryption. Your privacy is protected under GDPR and UK data protection regulations. You maintain full control over access to your footage—no third parties without your explicit consent. Local processing happens on your Intelligence Hub for real-time threat detection, while cloud integration provides backup and extended analytics.

A video doorbell shows you who's at your door—but only when someone rings it. By then, it's often too late. scOS covers your entire property and detects threats before criminals reach your door. While a doorbell is reactive, scOS is preventative. It monitors entry points, detects break-in attempts, and intervenes automatically with audible warnings and emergency coordination. You get protection that doesn't wait for a button press.

scOS requires a stable internet connection for full AI monitoring and emergency coordination features. Your cameras will continue local recording during an outage, preserving evidence, but AI threat detection and automatic intervention won't function until your connection is restored. We recommend a robust broadband setup and, if connectivity is unreliable in your area, discussing alternatives during the consultation. For most properties, internet reliability is not an issue.

Professional installation is available and recommended for most properties. Our technicians survey your location, position cameras for optimal coverage, install the Intelligence Hub, and integrate with your network—typically completed in a single visit. Alternatively, if you're tech-confident, self-setup is possible with detailed guides and customer support. Professional installation ensures optimal placement and configuration for your specific property layout.

scOS detects and responds within seconds. The moment suspicious activity is identified, audible warnings activate, emergency contacts are notified, and recorded evidence is secured. This rapid response significantly increases the likelihood of intervention before a crime is completed or damage occurs. Seconds matter when preventing crime—that's why our system is built for speed.

Yes. Many landlords in Brent choose scOS to protect their investment properties. The system can be professionally installed and managed remotely, and coverage is portable—if you move properties, the Intelligence Hub and cameras can be transferred. Discuss specific rental property requirements during your consultation, and we'll confirm compatibility with your letting agreement.

Our MotionX AI is specifically trained to minimise false alarms by understanding context—it distinguishes between genuine threats and harmless activity. Audible warnings are triggered only when human-level behaviour is detected (not passing vehicles or rain). This precision ensures you alert authorities to real threats, not phantom ones, maintaining good community relations while keeping your property secure.
