Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS transforms your security into a proactive 'digital guard' using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that trigger alerts for every swaying branch or passing cat, MotionX ignores environmental noise like spiders, cobwebs, and wind, focusing exclusively on 'important activity.' It recognises human forms regardless of how they move or if they attempt to conceal their figure. Because scOS understands what it's seeing, it can trigger automatic interventions—like activating external lights or voice warnings—the moment a boundary is breached. You move from having a digital witness to having a system that actively prevents an incident from escalating, all without the frustration of false alarms or the need to draw complex motion masks.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic and works seamlessly with most existing wired IP camera systems, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing 'dumb' cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can upgrade them with AI capabilities like MotionX detection and DVLA vehicle recognition. This allows you to benefit from state-of-the-art proactive protection without the expense of replacing your entire camera network. We prefer wired connections over wireless to ensure your security cannot be compromised by WiFi jamming, providing a robust, professional-grade foundation for your home's intelligence.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals before they even reach your door. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the property appear occupied. If a prowler is undeterred, our MotionX technology takes over, identifying 'important activity' and recognising human presence even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Once a threat is confirmed, the system initiates Active Intervention: instant illumination from external lights and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. This proactive approach ensures that an intruder is identified, challenged, and deterred long before they can attempt a break-in, providing a level of security that passive cameras simply cannot match.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy by design' approach. Your data is processed using a hybrid model: our Intelligence Hub handles initial detection locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK-based cloud for complex analysis and remote access. We are 100% UK-based, meaning all our data centres, support staff, and operations are governed by strict UK GDPR regulations. Your footage and data belong to you; we never sell user data to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible anywhere via our secure app. By keeping the intelligence local and the storage in highly secure UK facilities, we ensure your home's privacy is never compromised.

While a video doorbell is a useful tool for seeing who is at the front door, it is fundamentally a reactive device with a limited field of view. scOS provides whole-property intelligence that monitors every boundary, not just the porch. While a doorbell might alert you that someone is already stealing a parcel, scOS is designed to stop the crime from happening in the first place. Our system uses AI to detect suspicious behaviour across your entire perimeter, triggering deterrents like lights and voice warnings before a criminal even reaches your home. Furthermore, scOS offers professional-grade features like DVLA vehicle recognition and conversational AI (scOS Director), providing a comprehensive security ecosystem that a standalone doorbell simply cannot provide.

For the sailing community in Burnham-on-Crouch, homes and outbuildings are often left unattended for long periods while owners are out on the water. scOS is the perfect solution for this, as our Presence Simulation AI makes your home appear occupied by mimicking your usual internal activity patterns. Furthermore, our system is excellent at protecting detached garages or boat sheds. By using Automatic Property Boundary Detection, scOS can monitor the perimeter of your entire plot, including outbuildings, and trigger escalating voice warnings if someone approaches your gear. This ensures your property is actively defended while you're enjoying the Crouch.

Burnham-on-Crouch is a safe town, but its coastal location can mean cameras are subject to wind and sea spray, which often causes false alarms in traditional systems. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically designed to ignore environmental factors like wind-blown foliage, cobwebs, or rain on the lens. It focuses only on 'important activity'—specifically human and vehicle movement. This means you won't be woken up by alerts during a coastal gale, but you will be notified instantly if someone is actually on your property. It's the reliable, high-intelligence security that Burnham residents need.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that lets you check on your home with a simple text-based question. If you're at the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club or away for a regatta, you can ask, 'Is everything okay at the house?' or 'Has anyone been near the side gate?' The AI will provide a clear summary of any activity, saving you from having to check camera feeds manually. It's a fast, intuitive way to stay in control of your home's security, no matter where your maritime adventures take you.
