Traditional CCTV systems are purely passive—they record footage that you only see after a crime has occurred. scOS is fundamentally different. Our MotionX AI algorithm actively monitors your property in real-time, instantly detecting suspicious behaviour and threats. When danger is detected, scOS responds within seconds with our MotionX intervention system and Presence Simulation technology, which deters intruders by creating the impression that someone is actively watching and responding to their presence. Your current CCTV just watches; scOS actually stops crime from happening.

Yes, scOS works seamlessly with most wired IP cameras already installed in your home. You don't need to rip out and replace your existing infrastructure. Our Intelligence Hub connects to your current cameras and unlocks their full potential with AI-powered monitoring and intervention capabilities. Whether you have older or newer cameras, if they're connected to your network via IP, scOS can integrate with them. This makes upgrading to intelligent security affordable and hassle-free—you're simply adding smarts to what you already have.

scOS uses three powerful layers of deterrence working together. First, Presence Simulation creates visible activity around your property—lights triggering, blinds opening—making it look like someone is home and actively watching. Second, our MotionX algorithm instantly detects when someone approaches or attempts entry, and activates intervention systems in real-time, showing the intruder they've been spotted. Third, the Intelligence Hub can trigger external IoT speakers to play security alerts, further convincing potential criminals your property is protected and not worth the risk. These three layers work in concert to make your Brighton and Hove home the least attractive target on the street.

Your footage and data stay completely protected and fully GDPR compliant. All data is processed and stored in secure UK data centres, ensuring your sensitive home security information never leaves the country and remains under UK data protection laws. We never sell your data, and you maintain complete control over what's recorded and how it's used. Your privacy is as important as your security, which is why we've built our infrastructure to keep everything local to the UK.

A smart video doorbell shows you who's at your door after they've already arrived—you're just watching what's happening. scOS is proactive protection for your entire property. While a doorbell is reactive, scOS detects threats anywhere around your home and stops them before they even reach your door. Video doorbells can alert you to a package thief, but scOS prevents the theft from happening at all through intelligent monitoring and immediate intervention. Plus, scOS covers all entry points and the perimeter of your property, not just your front entrance.

scOS offers flexibility. If you're tech-confident, you can self-setup your Intelligence Hub and cameras—it's designed to be straightforward for DIY installation. However, we also offer professional installation services to ensure your system is perfectly positioned and optimised for your property. Our installers work with Sussex Police guidelines to maximise coverage and effectiveness. Whether you choose DIY or professional installation, you'll have a fully operational intelligent security system in no time.

Speed is critical when it comes to security. scOS detects suspicious activity and responds within seconds, not minutes or hours. The moment our MotionX algorithm spots an intruder or suspicious behaviour, the system activates intervention measures immediately—triggering lights, activating audio alerts, and notifying you in real-time. This rapid response is what stops crimes before they happen. With traditional CCTV, you're watching after the fact; with scOS, you're stopping it as it happens.

We're honest about this: scOS requires an active internet connection for all intelligent features to work. If your connection drops, your cameras will continue recording locally on the Intelligence Hub, but our AI detection and intervention features won't be available until your connection is restored. This is why we recommend ensuring reliable broadband at your property. Most of Brighton and Hove has excellent connectivity, and we can advise on backup internet options if you're in an area with spotty service. The moment your connection returns, full AI protection resumes automatically.

scOS pricing is simple and transparent: it costs from 63p per camera per day. There are no hidden fees, no pricing based on your property size, and no surprise charges. You pay only for the cameras you protect. So if you have 4 cameras, you multiply 63p by 4 to get your daily cost. Start with a single camera and scale up as needed. The Intelligence Hub is a one-time hardware investment that powers all your cameras, making it incredibly cost-effective.

scOS uses advanced algorithms that adapt to various lighting and weather conditions. Our MotionX technology works in low-light environments, at night, and in poor weather—all times when criminals are most active. Unlike basic motion sensors that struggle with rain or bright sunlight, our AI-trained system understands the difference between genuine threats and false triggers like wind-blown leaves or passing cars. This means fewer false alarms and more reliable protection, 24/7 in any condition Brighton and Hove weather throws at you.

Yes, absolutely. scOS gives you mobile access to your system through our app, so you can check live feeds and recent events from anywhere. Whether you're at work, on holiday, or anywhere in the world, you stay connected to your home's security. Get instant alerts when threats are detected, and review what happened whenever you need to.
