Most CCTV systems are passive; they record footage that you might look at after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. It uses our unique MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person lurking or a vehicle entering your drive—while ignoring irrelevant motion like pets or wind. Unlike traditional systems, scOS doesn't require you to set up complex motion zones; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action with lights and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they can cause damage. It’s like having a security guard who never sleeps.

In most cases, yes. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with professional wired IP cameras from manufacturers like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, we integrate your existing cameras with our scOS Intelligence Hub. This 'brains' of the system upgrades your current cameras with AI features like person recognition and covered face detection. Our engineers will perform a full system check to ensure your existing setup is optimised for our AI, providing a cost-effective way to bring state-of-the-art security to your Capel St Mary home.

scOS uses a three-tier deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied when you're away by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns. Second, our MotionX AI accurately detects intruders regardless of their movement or if they are wearing masks. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: if an intruder crosses your boundary, scOS triggers immediate lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive engagement is designed to startle and deter criminals, making it clear that your property is protected by an active, intelligent system that has already identified them.

We take data privacy very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes most data locally on your property for maximum privacy and speed. Only when a significant event is detected is data sent to our secure UK cloud for your access. You have full control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to 14 days. We never sell your data to third parties.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often a reactive device—it tells you someone was there after the fact. scOS provides comprehensive protection for your entire property, including gardens and driveways. While doorbells can be easily bypassed or disabled with WiFi jammers, scOS uses secure wired connections. Most importantly, scOS is proactive; it uses AI to detect and deter intruders before they even reach your door. It’s a professional-grade security system that offers far more protection than a simple consumer-grade doorbell.

Capel St Mary is a safe and pleasant village, but its proximity to the A12 makes it a prime target for 'highway criminals' who look for easy-access properties near major roads for a quick escape. While local crime rates are low, this can lead to a false sense of security. scOS ensures you remain protected without having to constantly worry. Our system provides 24/7 vigilance, ensuring that the peace of mind you moved to Capel St Mary for is never compromised by opportunistic crime.

Yes, scOS is perfect for the family-friendly environment of Capel St Mary. Our MotionX technology is highly sophisticated and can distinguish between the movement of family pets and human intruders. This means your dog can run around the garden without triggering false alarms. Furthermore, our Person Recognition feature learns the normal behaviour of family members, so the system knows the difference between your children coming home from school and a stranger approaching your property, ensuring you only get alerts that actually matter.

Many homes in Capel St Mary have valuable tools or equipment stored in garages and sheds. scOS's AI automatically detects these structures as part of your property boundary. If someone approaches your shed or attempts to tamper with your garage door, the system will trigger the same escalating deterrents—lights and voice warnings—as it would for your main house. You can also use scOS Director to ask, 'Is the garage door closed?' or 'Has anyone been near the shed today?' for instant peace of mind.
