Most CCTV systems are passive; they record a crime while it's happening, but do nothing to stop it. scOS is proactive. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, the system identifies 'important activity'—specifically human and vehicle movement—rather than just simple motion. This eliminates false alarms from the coastal winds or seagulls common in Broadstairs. When a threat is detected at your property boundary, scOS intervenes with automatic lighting and AI voice warnings from external speakers. It doesn't just watch your home; it actively defends it, aiming to prevent the crime from ever occurring.

Absolutely. scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink. During our professional installation—which usually takes 4-6 hours—our UK-based engineers will integrate your current cameras with our Intelligence Hub. This instantly upgrades your 'dumb' cameras with our advanced MotionX AI and proactive response capabilities. It’s a cost-effective way to bring state-of-the-art AI security to your Broadstairs home without needing to replace all your existing hardware.

scOS uses three powerful layers of deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your home's natural lighting patterns while you're away, making it look occupied—a major deterrent for burglars scouting the area. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious human behaviour at your property line. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder persists, the system triggers external lights and escalating voice warnings. This immediate, vocal response from the property itself is incredibly effective at making criminals move on to an easier, less 'intelligent' target.

We are a 100% UK-based company, and we take your privacy seriously. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and then stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are captured 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. This hybrid local and cloud approach ensures that your system remains functional and your data remains secure, even if your internet connection is interrupted by coastal weather.

A video doorbell only protects your front door and is often reactive—telling you someone is there only after they've pressed the button or triggered a sensor. scOS provides 360-degree property intelligence. It uses wired cameras that are immune to the Wi-Fi jammers often used by modern burglars. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop a crime at the boundary of your property. By the time someone reaches a doorbell, scOS would have already detected them, turned on the lights, and issued a voice warning to deter them.

Broadstairs is a beautiful town, but like many coastal areas, it can see a rise in opportunistic crime during the busy tourist season. Furthermore, properties can be left empty for periods, making them targets for scouting. While the local crime rate is below the national average, it only takes one incident to change your life. scOS provides year-round peace of mind, ensuring that whether you're at Viking Bay for the day or away on holiday, your home is actively being protected by the UK's most advanced AI.

Coastal environments can be tough on electronics, but scOS is built for it. We use high-quality, weather-rated wired cameras and IoT speakers. More importantly, our MotionX AI is specifically designed to ignore environmental factors like heavy rain, sea mist, and high winds that often cause false alarms in traditional systems. It focuses purely on human and vehicle activity, ensuring that a gale blowing off the Channel won't result in a dozen false notifications on your phone.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition. This feature identifies the registration of vehicles near your property and checks them against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with a suspicious history or cloned plates is detected, scOS Director can alert you immediately. This is particularly useful for residents near busy areas like the seafront or main access roads, where unusual vehicle activity might otherwise go unnoticed. It adds a vital layer of protection for your own vehicles parked on the driveway.
