Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device; it captures footage of a crime but does nothing to prevent it. scOS is a proactive AI system designed to intervene. Our MotionX technology is the core difference—it doesn't just detect motion, it understands activity. It ignores spiders, wind, and animals, focusing only on human threats. While traditional systems require you to manually set up 'zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When an intruder is detected, scOS uses external IoT speakers and lighting to deliver escalating voice warnings, stopping the criminal before they reach your home. It’s like having a security guard who never sleeps, rather than just a camera that watches.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We can often transform your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI network by connecting them to the scOS Intelligence Hub. This allows you to benefit from our advanced MotionX detection, vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents without the expense of replacing all your hardware. It’s a seamless way to upgrade your Briston home to the most advanced security technology available today.

scOS uses three layers of deterrence to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your internal activity patterns—lighting and movement—to make your home look occupied even when you're out. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they cross your boundary, even if they are disguised or moving stealthily. Third is Active Intervention: the system uses external IoT speakers to issue voice warnings and activates lighting to startle and deter the intruder. These responses escalate if the person remains on your property, making it clear that your home is not an easy target for opportunistic crime.

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. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud for complex analysis and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data to third parties. You have complete control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, ensuring your security never comes at the expense of your personal privacy.

A video doorbell only monitors a small area around your front door and is often reactive—telling you someone is there only after they've arrived. scOS is a property-wide intelligence system. It monitors your entire boundary and uses AI to detect and deter threats before they ever reach your door. While a doorbell might record a thief, scOS actively stops them using voice warnings and presence simulation. It provides comprehensive protection for your whole property, making it a far more effective solution for preventing crime rather than just recording it.

In rural Norfolk villages like Briston, police response times can be longer than in major towns. scOS provides an immediate, autonomous response that doesn't wait for help to arrive. By detecting and deterring intruders at the boundary using AI-driven voice and light warnings, the system often stops a crime before it even begins. This proactive approach is essential for rural properties where you need a system that can look after itself and your family, providing a powerful deterrent that works 24/7, regardless of how far away the nearest patrol car might be.

Briston has a wonderful community feel, and scOS is designed to respect that. Our MotionX technology is so precise that it can distinguish between a neighbour walking their dog on the pavement and someone actually entering your property. Because the system automatically detects your property boundaries, it won't trigger deterrents for people just passing by. Furthermore, our 'Person Recognition' feature learns to recognise family members and regular visitors based on their behaviour, ensuring that your security system is a silent protector for you while remaining a powerful deterrent for strangers.

Absolutely. Our professional UK installation team is expert at fitting scOS into a wide variety of property types, including the traditional flint and brick homes common in North Norfolk. We use wired connections to ensure maximum reliability and security, as wireless systems can be vulnerable to jamming. The installation is typically completed in a single day, and we ensure that all cameras and external IoT speakers are installed discreetly, maintaining the aesthetic of your home while providing state-of-the-art AI protection.
