Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune for later viewing. scOS transforms your security into a proactive digital guard using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that trigger false alarms for every passing cat or swaying branch, MotionX focuses exclusively on 'important activity,' recognising human behaviour even if a person is trying to hide their shape or cover their face. While your old system waits for a crime to happen, scOS identifies threats the moment they cross your property boundary, triggering automatic light and voice responses to stop intruders in their tracks. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a bodyguard.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning we can often breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate them into the scOS ecosystem. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We transform these 'dumb' cameras into intelligent sensors, allowing them to benefit from MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and our proactive deterrent features without the need for a total hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop crime before it starts. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your internal lighting patterns and mimic them while you're away, making your home look occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the property boundary—even if the intruder is wearing a mask or balaclava. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system initiates an Escalating Response. This includes instant illumination and authoritative warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By combining the appearance of an occupied home with immediate, intelligent intervention, scOS makes your property an impossible target for opportunistic criminals.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data, and you maintain total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. Because we use wired connections rather than vulnerable Wi-Fi, your data is also protected from signal jamming, ensuring that your home's intelligence remains private, secure, and always accessible to you.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property. While a doorbell might capture a package thief after the fact, scOS uses AI to detect someone entering your garden or driveway long before they reach the house. By the time a criminal gets to your front door, scOS has already identified them, logged their vehicle via DVLA recognition, and likely deterred them with a voice warning. It provides 24/7 whole-property surveillance and proactive intervention that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot match.

Broadclyst is a unique National Trust village, and we understand the importance of maintaining its aesthetic. scOS is designed to be as discreet as possible. Our professional UK installers are experts at neat, hidden wiring and strategic camera placement that provides full coverage without being intrusive. Because our system uses AI to detect boundaries, you don't need any bulky external sensors, keeping your home's exterior looking exactly as it should.

Broadclyst's proximity to Exeter and the M5 makes it a potential target for criminals looking for easy access to high-value village homes. scOS is particularly effective here because of our DVLA Vehicle Recognition. It logs every vehicle that enters your property and checks it against the DVLA database. If a suspicious vehicle is detected, you're alerted immediately. This provides a vital layer of security for homes in the Exeter commuter belt.

Yes, scOS is perfect for families. The system is designed to be 'family-aware,' meaning it can recognise the normal patterns of your household. You won't be bombarded with alerts every time the kids come home from school or the dog goes into the garden. You only get notified when the AI detects something truly unusual or a potential threat, making it a stress-free addition to your Broadclyst home.
