Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage for a police report. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands activity. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw 'motion masks' to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX works out of the box to identify human threats with zero false alarms. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. It uses automatic property boundary detection to trigger instant light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers, stopping an intruder before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning we can often transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI-driven network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes just 4 to 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This local hub processes the video feed using our MotionX AI, adding features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection to your existing setup without needing a total hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: while you’re away, the system simulates human activity patterns inside your home, making it appear occupied to anyone watching. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies 'important activity'—it recognises people even if they are crouching, wearing masks, or trying to hide their silhouette. Finally, if someone crosses your property boundary, the system initiates Active Intervention. This starts with instant illumination and escalates to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By detecting the threat early and responding automatically, scOS removes the 'opportunity' that most criminals look for in Calverton.

Privacy is at the core of scOS. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then securely backed up to our UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours and is never sold or accessed by 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 combining local processing with secure UK cloud storage, we provide the perfect balance of high-speed AI intelligence and robust data privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they’ve already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that auto-detects your land lines. It identifies suspicious behaviour—like someone loitering near your side gate or a vehicle with cloned plates on your driveway—long before they reach the front door. While a doorbell records a crime, scOS is designed to prevent it through escalating deterrents, making it a comprehensive security solution rather than just a digital peephole.

Calverton's position as a popular commuter village for Nottingham means many homes are left empty during the day. scOS's Presence Simulation is specifically designed for this. It doesn't just turn lights on and off on a timer; it learns and replicates your actual living patterns—simulating movement and light usage inside the house. This makes your home appear occupied to any burglar scouting the area during work hours, effectively deterring them before they even step onto your driveway.

With property crime being a key concern for Nottinghamshire Police in villages like Calverton, scOS provides a critical advantage. Our system features 'Covered Face Detection,' which specifically flags individuals wearing balaclavas, hoods, or masks. If someone approaches your property attempting to hide their identity, scOS recognises this as suspicious behaviour immediately. It can then trigger an immediate high-level voice warning and alert you on your phone, ensuring that even those trying to hide are spotted and deterred instantly.

Yes, scOS is excellent for protecting outbuildings. Whether you have a workshop, a garden office, or a garage for your car, our AI auto-detects these boundaries. MotionX will monitor these areas for 'important activity,' ignoring the local wildlife or cats, but alerting you the moment a person approaches the structure. This is particularly useful in Calverton, where garden thefts can be a common issue. You can even ask the scOS Director, 'Is the garage secure?' for an instant AI-verified status update.
