Traditional CCTV is passive—it records everything but does nothing to stop crime. You might review hours of footage after a break-in, but the damage is already done. scOS is intelligent security. Our AI watches your property 24/7, automatically detects suspicious behaviour (not just motion), and triggers instant intervention through Presence Simulation (simulated occupancy), MotionX (dynamic deterrent), and Active intervention to stop criminals in their tracks. You get prevention, not just evidence.

Yes. scOS works with most wired IP cameras currently installed in your home. Our Intelligence Hub connects to your existing camera infrastructure and layers AI intelligence on top. This means you don't need to replace working hardware—you simply upgrade them with intelligent behaviour detection, threat analysis, and automated response capabilities. We can advise on compatibility during the setup process.

scOS uses three coordinated layers of defence. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied even when you're away—lights, sounds, and activity patterns simulate someone home. Second, MotionX detects movement and triggers dynamic deterrents—strobes, sounds, and notifications—making it clear you're watching. Third, Active intervention escalates the response with real-time alerts to emergency services if needed. This multi-layered approach stops criminals at every stage: before they approach, while they're on your property, and if they persist.

Your security data stays in the UK. scOS uses certified UK data centres with GDPR compliance as standard. Video feeds are processed locally on your Intelligence Hub first—meaning AI detection happens on your premises without uploading raw footage. Only essential alerts and configuration data transit to our secure servers. You maintain complete control and privacy of your home's security footage.

A video doorbell tells you who's at your door—but by then, it's too late. They're already on your property. scOS starts protection the moment someone approaches your driveway or garden, detecting suspicious behaviour patterns before they reach your door. While a doorbell passively records, scOS actively deters through lighting, sounds, and presence simulation. And critically, scOS protects your entire property—front, back, sides, and garden—not just your doorstep.

We're honest: scOS requires an active internet connection for its AI intelligence features to work. If your connection drops, your Intelligence Hub can continue local camera recording, but threat detection and automated responses pause until connectivity is restored. We recommend a reliable broadband connection and robust router placement. Most Cambridge homes have stable connections, and we'll help optimise yours during installation.

No. scOS works for tech-confident users who prefer self-setup. But we also offer professional installation where our team installs your Intelligence Hub, configures your cameras, and ensures everything integrates perfectly with your existing setup. This is particularly popular with customers integrating existing camera systems. We'll discuss the best approach for your property.

Our AI detects suspicious behaviour and triggers responses within seconds of activity detected. Presence Simulation activates immediately, MotionX deterrents engage, and emergency alerts dispatch if needed. This sub-second responsiveness is critical—most burglars abandon a property within seconds of realising active security is engaged.

scOS starts from just 63p per camera per day with no long-term contracts—you pay only for what you protect. Traditional systems often require expensive installation, monthly monitoring fees, and multi-year commitments. You choose how many cameras and can add more anytime. Compare it against your current security spend and the cost of a single break-in.

No. scOS uses behaviour-based person recognition instead. We analyse movement patterns, gait, and activity context rather than identifying faces. This is more effective for security (it works in darkness, with disguises, at distance) and respects privacy principles. You get intelligent threat detection without the privacy concerns of facial databases.

Our AI automatically learns your property's boundaries and activity patterns without manual zone setup. It understands the difference between a visitor walking up your path (normal) and someone circling your garage at midnight (suspicious). This removes configuration burden and adapts better to how your property is actually used. You don't need to be a security expert.
