Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device that only helps you see what you've already lost. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to stop crime before it happens. Unlike standard motion sensors that are triggered by wind, rain, or spiders, MotionX is trained to recognise 'important activity'—specifically human and vehicle movements. It requires no manual 'motion masks' and works perfectly out of the box. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes. Using automatic boundary detection, the system can instantly turn on lights and deliver voice warnings through external IoT speakers, letting any intruder know they have been spotted and are being monitored by an active AI system.

In most cases, yes. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with almost any professional wired IP camera system, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. Our goal is to transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will integrate your current cameras with the scOS Intelligence Hub. This allows your existing hardware to benefit from our advanced AI features like person recognition, DVLA vehicle checks, and proactive voice deterrents. It’s a sustainable and cost-effective way to achieve state-of-the-art home intelligence without replacing your entire infrastructure.

scOS uses a powerful three-tier deterrent system. The first tier is Presence Simulation; for Catsfield residents who commute or travel, the system learns your daily habits and simulates internal activity, making your home appear occupied. The second tier is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour with 100% accuracy, even if an intruder is wearing a mask or hood. The third tier is Active Intervention. If an intruder crosses your boundary, scOS triggers an escalating response: first, instant illumination to remove their cover, followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach is designed to make criminals abandon their attempt long before they ever reach your home's entry points.

We take data privacy extremely seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK-based data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Our system employs a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes most data locally on your property for maximum privacy and speed, only using our secure cloud for remote access and complex AI tasks. You have total control over your footage, and we never share or sell your data to third parties. Your 24/7 recordings are kept for up to two weeks and are accessible only by you through our encrypted app, ensuring your home's security data remains private and secure.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers a tiny fraction of your property. It might tell you a parcel has been taken, but it won't stop a burglar from entering through a side window. scOS provides comprehensive, 360-degree intelligence for your entire property. It monitors your boundaries and gardens, detecting threats as they approach, not just when they are at your door. Furthermore, scOS features active deterrents like voice warnings and presence simulation that doorbells lack. For homes in Catsfield, where properties often have multiple access points and larger gardens, scOS offers a level of proactive protection that a simple doorbell cannot match.

Catsfield's rural setting and dark village lanes can provide cover for intruders. scOS is specifically designed to handle these conditions. Our MotionX technology doesn't rely on standard light-based motion detection; it can recognise human shapes and behaviours even in low-light environments. When the system detects someone approaching your boundary in the dark, it can automatically trigger external lighting to expose them. This immediate response, combined with Sussex Police's local presence, creates a formidable defence for rural homes that might otherwise feel vulnerable at night.

Yes, scOS is highly effective at protecting detached buildings. Using our automatic property boundary detection, the system can monitor your entire plot, including garages and workshops. MotionX is smart enough to ignore the local wildlife common in East Sussex while remaining hyper-vigilant for human activity. If someone approaches your garage, the system can trigger a specific voice deterrent in that area, such as 'You are trespassing on private property; the police have been notified.' This ensures that your high-value items stored outside the main house are protected by the same elite AI as your living room.

scOS features integrated DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is a vital tool for rural villages like Catsfield. The system identifies every vehicle that enters your driveway and checks its registration against the DVLA database. This allows it to spot cloned plates or vehicles that are out of place. If a suspicious vehicle is detected, scOS can alert you immediately and even initiate a 'pre-emptive' deterrent, such as turning on driveway lights. This helps prevent the 'scouting' phase of a crime, where burglars use vehicles to check out potential targets days before an attempted break-in.
