Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web or gust of wind, our MotionX technology ignores the noise and focuses only on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of their shape or if they are trying to hide. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it acts. Using automatic property boundary detection, it identifies threats the moment they step onto your land and can trigger instant light responses or AI voice warnings from external speakers to deter the intruder before they ever reach your door.

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, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video locally before escalating critical data to our UK cloud, giving your old cameras the power of MotionX detection, vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents without needing a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal patterns and simulates human activity inside (like light movements) to make the house look occupied when you're away. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces immediately, even if the intruder is wearing a mask or balaclava. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected within your auto-detected boundaries, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and can progress to clear, authoritative AI voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. Unlike a standard alarm, scOS makes the criminal feel 'seen' and monitored, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many security companies that ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All video processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub. When an event requires AI analysis, it is sent to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. Your data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, and it is never sold 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. Because we are a UK company, our support and data infrastructure are governed by the strictest privacy laws in the world, ensuring your home stays private.

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 is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary. It uses DVLA-linked vehicle recognition to spot suspicious cars and MotionX to identify people lurking in 'blind spots' where doorbells can't see. Furthermore, doorbells rarely offer proactive deterrents. scOS stops the crime from happening by intervening at the perimeter with lights and voice warnings, rather than just giving you a video of the person who just broke in.

Capel-le-Ferne’s position on the B2011, a main route between Folkestone and Dover, means a high volume of traffic passes through the village daily. scOS uses DVLA-linked vehicle recognition to monitor cars near your property. It can identify suspicious patterns, such as a vehicle passing multiple times or parking nearby for extended periods. This intelligence is processed locally and can alert you to potential 'casing' of your home before any attempt is made, providing a level of awareness that standard cameras simply cannot offer.

Coastal environments can be tough on electronics, but scOS is built for reliability. We use professional-grade, wired IP cameras that are weather-sealed and far more durable than wireless, battery-operated alternatives. Because our system is wired, it cannot be jammed by the signal interference sometimes found in coastal areas. Our UK-based installation team ensures that all cabling is protected, providing a robust security solution that can withstand the Kent coast's unique weather conditions while maintaining 24/7 intelligence.

With Kent Police managing a large and diverse area, scOS provides you with the tools to be your own first line of defence. Our scOS Director AI allows you to search your footage using natural language—for example, 'Show me any people wearing hoods near the garage last night.' This allows you to provide the police with precise, high-quality evidence in seconds, rather than spending hours scrubbing through useless footage. By identifying threats early and deterring them with voice warnings, scOS often prevents the need for a police call-out entirely.
