Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune, but scOS is a proactive guardian. While standard systems rely on motion masks that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, our proprietary MotionX technology focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It requires no manual zones or tripwires; instead, the AI automatically understands your property boundaries and ignores irrelevant movement like spiders or wind. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it intervenes. By using escalating responses, including instant illumination and AI-driven voice deterrents from external IoT speakers, it stops intruders before they reach your door. It transforms your security from a post-incident evidence gatherer into a real-time crime prevention tool that never sleeps, ensuring your Broyle Side home is protected by the most advanced intelligence available in the UK.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. We don't force you to rip out your existing infrastructure if you already have high-quality wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink. Our Intelligence Hub is designed to 'brain-up' your existing 'dumb' cameras, injecting them with our advanced AI capabilities. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure compatibility. By leveraging your existing hardware, we can often provide a comprehensive intelligence upgrade more efficiently. However, if your current cameras are outdated or wireless (which are prone to jamming), we may recommend upgrading to our preferred wired units to ensure the reliability and speed that our proactive protection requires.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage of an approach. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making the property appear occupied. If a trespasser ignores this and enters your property, our MotionX technology instantly identifies them as a person—even if they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their silhouette. This triggers the second layer: Active Intervention. Your property will immediately respond with targeted lighting and authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. Finally, if the intruder persists, the system uses an Escalating Response, increasing the intensity of the warnings and alerts. This multi-staged approach ensures that criminals feel watched and challenged long before they can attempt a break-in.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed through a hybrid model: our Intelligence Hub handles immediate, critical processing locally on your property for maximum speed, while more complex AI analysis is conducted in our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data to third parties, and you maintain full control over your recordings at all times. You can access your 24/7 footage, which is stored for up to two weeks, from anywhere in the world via our secure app. By keeping everything within the UK—from our support teams to our servers—we ensure that your home's security data is protected by the most stringent privacy laws in the world.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. In contrast, scOS provides comprehensive property intelligence that covers your entire perimeter. While a doorbell might capture a package thief in the act, scOS is designed to stop that thief from ever stepping onto your driveway. Our system uses AI to detect threats at the boundary of your property, providing a proactive shield rather than a reactive notification. Furthermore, video doorbells are often wireless and easily bypassed or jammed. scOS uses professional, wired installations that are resilient against interference. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and conversational AI, scOS offers a level of situational awareness and active crime prevention that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot match.

Broyle Side is a quiet residential area, but its proximity to Lewes and Ringmer means it can be targeted by opportunistic thieves looking for easier targets outside the main towns. Low crime rates shouldn't lead to complacency. scOS is designed to be 'always on' but 'never annoying.' Our MotionX technology ensures you aren't flooded with false alerts, but if someone suspicious does enter your property, the system will intervene autonomously. It’s about having a professional-grade security guard that you don't have to manage, keeping your home safe while you're at work or enjoying the Sussex countryside.

Many homes in Broyle Side have beautiful gardens that can be vulnerable points of entry. scOS uses Automatic Property Boundary Detection to monitor your entire perimeter. Unlike other systems that require you to draw lines on a screen, our AI automatically understands where your property ends. If someone steps into your garden from the rear or side, the system detects them immediately and can trigger a voice deterrent or light response, stopping them before they ever reach a window or door.

Yes, scOS is perfect for commuters. Our Presence Simulation feature uses AI to learn your daily routines and simulates human activity inside the house when you're away. This makes your home look occupied even when you're in London or Brighton. Additionally, you can use the 'scOS Director' to ask natural questions about your home's status from your phone, giving you total peace of mind throughout your workday.
