Traditional CCTV systems are purely passive—they record footage but can't intervene. scOS uses AI monitoring powered by the Intelligence Hub, a small device that analyzes every frame in real-time. Our MotionX technology distinguishes between everyday activity and genuine threats, immediately alerting you and triggering professional response. Where standard CCTV requires you to review hours of footage after a crime, scOS stops incidents as they happen.

Yes. scOS works with most wired IP cameras already installed in your property—whether they're POE (Power over Ethernet) or traditional networked systems. Our Intelligence Hub connects to your existing cameras and instantly upgrades them with AI monitoring capabilities. If you don't have cameras yet, we can recommend reliable wired IP systems that integrate seamlessly with scOS.

scOS prevents crime through three layers of protection. First, Presence Simulation uses dynamic lighting and audio cues to create the appearance of occupancy, convincing intruders someone is home. Second, MotionX detects suspicious behavior in real-time—unusual loitering, bag placement, or probing movements—and immediately activates visual and audio warnings. Third, when a genuine threat is detected, scOS automatically triggers professional intervention—our team responds within seconds to assess, challenge, and coordinate with emergency services if needed. This combination makes your property an unattractive target.

All scOS data is stored exclusively in UK data centres and processed in full compliance with GDPR. We don't sell your data, and you maintain complete control over your footage and alerts. Footage is encrypted in transit and at rest, and our systems are regularly audited for security compliance. Your privacy is protected while AI processing happens both locally on your Intelligence Hub and in our UK-based cloud infrastructure.

A video doorbell tells you who's at your door—but it's too late, they're already on your property. scOS stops crime before they reach the door. While doorbells offer notifications, scOS provides detection and intervention across your entire property, using intelligent threat analysis rather than just motion detection. scOS identifies genuine threats and responds in seconds, whereas doorbell systems are largely passive. For comprehensive home protection, scOS covers entry points, gardens, and blind spots with professional monitoring.

Professional installation covers full system setup: camera installation (if needed), Intelligence Hub placement for optimal coverage, network configuration, and testing of all AI features. Our installers ensure MotionX is calibrated to your property layout, Presence Simulation is configured correctly, and professional response integration is active. We also provide full training on the scOS app and system management. For tech-confident users, self-setup is available with comprehensive guides.

Absolutely. Bromley has a mix of suburban and urban areas, which makes intelligent threat detection essential—MotionX excels at distinguishing between neighbors, delivery drivers, and genuine threats. Your AI learns the patterns of your specific location and property, reducing false alarms common in busy areas. Presence Simulation is particularly effective in urban settings where visibility matters, and professional response coordination works seamlessly with local Metropolitan Police Service in your area.

scOS detects threats and begins response within seconds. When MotionX identifies suspicious behavior, visual and audio deterrents activate immediately. If the threat escalates or is unresponsive to deterrence, professional intervention is triggered within seconds—our team assesses the situation, communicates with the intruder if safe to do so, and coordinates with emergency services. This rapid response is critical; most residential burglaries happen in under 5 minutes, and scOS intervenes within the first 10 seconds of detection.

scOS requires an active internet connection for AI features and professional response. If your internet drops, local camera recording continues and the Intelligence Hub remains powered, but threat detection and response won't function until connectivity is restored. We recommend reliable broadband (fiber or strong 4G backup) to avoid this issue. The system alerts you immediately when connectivity is lost, so you're aware of the service gap.

scOS pricing is simple and based per camera, starting from 63p per day. This includes the Intelligence Hub software, AI monitoring, threat detection, and professional response 24/7. You only pay for the cameras you install—there's no additional charge based on property size, location, or crime rate. A typical 4-camera setup costs significantly less than traditional alarm monitoring while providing infinitely more intelligence and actual threat intervention.
