Passive CCTV only records crime; scOS prevents it. Our system uses MotionX technology, a revolutionary AI that focuses on 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour—rather than just motion. This eliminates the false alarms common with traditional systems, such as those caused by wind, animals, or shadows. Unlike standard CCTV, scOS doesn't require you to set up complex zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS takes action with light and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they reach your home. It’s an active, intelligent security guard for your property, not just a camera.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation (which takes 4-6 hours), we integrate your existing cameras with our Intelligence Hub. This hub provides the AI 'brains' for your system, allowing your current cameras to benefit from MotionX detection and proactive deterrents. This means you can upgrade to world-class AI security without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided your existing cameras meet the technical requirements for high-definition AI processing.

scOS uses a three-layered proactive approach. First is Presence Simulation: the AI learns your internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your grounds, even if they are wearing a balaclava or hood. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, external IoT speakers deliver AI voice warnings and lights are triggered. This escalating response makes it clear to any intruder that they are being monitored by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately before they can cause damage.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We use a hybrid processing model: initial AI intelligence is handled locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy. Only when a significant event is detected is data escalated to our secure UK cloud for 24/7 recording and remote access. We never sell your data to third parties, and you have complete control over your system and privacy settings through our encrypted app, ensuring your home life remains private.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that usually only alerts you once someone is already at your door. scOS is a proactive, whole-property intelligence system. It monitors your entire boundary, detecting threats long before they reach your house. While doorbells often rely on Wi-Fi, which can be easily jammed by sophisticated thieves, scOS uses professional wired connections for maximum reliability. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS is designed to stop a crime before it happens, whereas a doorbell merely records the event as it occurs.

Caldy is known for its high-value properties, which can unfortunately attract sophisticated criminals. scOS is specifically designed to counter this with features like Covered Face Detection. Our AI can recognise when someone is intentionally concealing their identity with a mask, hood, or balaclava and will flag this as high-risk activity immediately. Combined with our escalating voice deterrents, the system sends a clear message to professional thieves that your home is protected by advanced technology that they cannot easily bypass, making your property a much less attractive target.

For residents with high-end vehicles, our DVLA Vehicle Recognition is a vital tool. The system doesn't just see a car; it reads the plate and checks it against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history enters your driveway, scOS alerts you instantly. This proactive detection allows you to be aware of potential 'scouting' activity before any theft attempt is made, providing an essential layer of security for your most valuable assets.

Many Caldy residents travel frequently, leaving their homes vacant. Our Presence Simulation is far more advanced than simple light timers; it uses AI to replicate your actual living patterns—moving lights from room to room as if someone were home. This makes your property look lived-in and active, which is the single most effective way to deter opportunistic burglars. You can also use 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, to ask natural questions about your property's status from anywhere in the world, giving you total peace of mind while travelling.
