Traditional CCTV is a passive witness; it records your home being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is an active guardian. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which doesn't just see movement—it understands activity. Unlike standard systems that trigger false alarms for spiders, wind, or shadows, MotionX identifies 'important activity,' such as a person approaching your boundary. Because scOS understands what it sees, it can intervene automatically. While your old system would just record an intruder, scOS detects them at the property line, illuminates them with smart lighting, and delivers a voice warning via external speakers. It’s the difference between having a camera and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. We can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI network. Our system works with almost all professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video locally before escalating critical data to our UK-based cloud for advanced analysis. This means you don't need to rip out your current investment to benefit from proactive AI protection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and automated deterrents.

scOS uses a three-layered proactive approach to stop crime before it happens. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you're away on holiday or at work. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies people regardless of how they move or if they try to conceal their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, there is Active Intervention. When an intruder crosses your auto-detected property boundary, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination to let the intruder know they've been spotted, followed by clear voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By intervening at the boundary, scOS prevents the break-in from ever occurring.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data is processed through our Intelligence Hub located on your property for immediate local response, with critical events escalated to our secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data stays yours and is never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. You can access this footage securely from anywhere in the world, knowing that your home's intelligence is handled entirely within British jurisdiction.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a laggy motion sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front porch, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. Doorbell cameras are often wireless and can be easily defeated by WiFi jammers; scOS uses secure, wired connections that are immune to jamming. Furthermore, doorbells don't deter—they just record. scOS actively intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop a criminal before they even reach your door, providing a level of security a doorbell simply cannot match.

Bugbrooke is a safe village, but that can lead to complacency. Our Person Recognition AI is designed to understand the 'normal' flow of your home. It can distinguish between family members, regular visitors, and complete strangers based on their behaviour and frequency of visits. This means you won't get alerts for the kids coming home from Campion School, but you will be instantly notified if an unknown person is loitering near your boundary at an unusual hour.

For properties backing onto the Grand Union Canal, standard security can be tricky due to the public access nearby. scOS solves this with Automatic Property Boundary Detection. The AI automatically maps out where your private land ends and the public towpath begins. It won't alert you for every walker passing by, but the moment someone steps off the path and onto your property, the proactive deterrents—like the voice warning and lights—will activate.

scOS is built on a 'wired over wireless' philosophy. While many home systems rely on WiFi, which can be easily blocked by cheap 'jamming' devices used by modern burglars, scOS uses physical cables. This ensures that your security remains online and functional even if a criminal attempts to disrupt your wireless signals. For a village like Bugbrooke, this provides a professional-grade level of protection that consumer-grade wireless cameras simply can't match.
