Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime in its tracks. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that trigger alerts for every swaying branch, spider web, or passing cat, MotionX is trained to recognise 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour. It requires no manual motion masks or complex 'tripwire' setup because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When it detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with light and voice deterrents. This means you get zero false alarms and a system that actually protects your home rather than just filming its violation.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video locally before escalating important data to our secure UK cloud, giving your old cameras the power of MotionX detection, person recognition, and proactive deterrents without the need for a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied to anyone watching from the street. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Third is Active Intervention. If an intruder persists, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination of the area and moves to authoritative voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. Unlike a simple alarm, scOS tells the intruder exactly what they are doing, making it clear they are being monitored by an intelligent system.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All video processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub. When a potential threat is identified, data is escalated to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres for high-level AI analysis. We never sell your data to third parties, and you maintain full control over your recordings. You can access up to two weeks of 24/7 footage from anywhere in the world via our secure app. Because we are a UK company, our support team and data infrastructure are all governed by British law, ensuring your home's intelligence stays in your hands.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your front door; scOS is a comprehensive security solution that protects your entire property. While a doorbell might capture a package thief, it won't stop someone entering through a side window or prowling your back garden. scOS provides 360-degree proactive protection. It uses AI to detect threats at the very edge of your property, long before they reach your door. Furthermore, doorbells often rely on Wi-Fi, which can be easily jammed by modern burglars. scOS uses professional wired connections, ensuring that your security remains online and functional even when criminals use signal-jamming technology.

With crime rates in Cambois significantly higher than the national average, a proactive system is essential. scOS doesn't just record crime; it actively works to prevent it. Our Covered Face Detection is particularly vital here—if the AI spots someone approaching your home with a balaclava, mask, or hood pulled tight, it immediately flags this as suspicious and can trigger an instant voice warning. This 'digital guard' approach is designed to make criminals choose an easier target elsewhere.

Cambois' coastal location means security hardware needs to be tough. Unlike cheap wireless cameras that can suffer from salt-air corrosion or signal interference, scOS uses professional-grade, wired installations. Our cameras and external IoT speakers are built to withstand the Northumbrian weather, ensuring your protection remains constant regardless of the North Sea gales. Because the system is wired, it's also immune to the Wi-Fi jamming techniques often used by more sophisticated burglars.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic. If you already have a CCTV setup in Cambois, we can likely upgrade it. Our engineers will perform a full assessment during the installation. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can give them the power of MotionX detection and proactive deterrents, saving you the cost of a completely new camera array while vastly improving your security.
