Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage for a police report. scOS is proactive, using our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person loitering near your gable end—rather than just motion like wind or cats. Because it understands context, it can trigger automatic interventions like lights and voice warnings to stop a burglar before they touch your door. There are no motion masks to draw; the AI automatically learns your property boundaries in Chelmondiston and ignores the street, ensuring zero false alarms and genuine protection.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. If you already have wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink installed at your Chelmondiston property, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate them. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By layering our AI over your current cameras, you get all the benefits of proactive protection without needing to replace every piece of hardware you already own.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home when you're away, making it look occupied to anyone watching from the street. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour regardless of whether a person is wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers active interventions: instant illumination and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This multi-stage approach is designed to make a criminal decide your home isn't worth the risk.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your footage is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and then escalated to our secure UK data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data remains yours—we never sell it or use it for third-party training. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS protects your entire property boundary, not just the front step. While a doorbell is a reactive tool, scOS is a proactive intelligence system that identifies threats at the edge of your property and intervenes to prevent the crime from happening in the first place. For residents in villages like Chelmondiston, where properties often have larger footprints or side access, a doorbell simply isn't enough.

Chelmondiston's proximity to the River Orwell and Pin Mill means many residents have outbuildings or boat storage. scOS is perfect for these detached structures because our MotionX AI can distinguish between a person and the movement of trees or water. By installing external IoT speakers near your outbuildings, the system can deliver a voice deterrent the moment someone steps onto your land, protecting your valuable equipment before it's touched.

Suffolk Constabulary does a great job, but rural response times can vary. scOS acts as your first line of defence, providing an immediate response that doesn't wait for a patrol car. By using escalating voice warnings and instant lighting, the system often scares off intruders before they commit a crime. If an incident does occur, you'll have high-quality, AI-verified footage ready to provide to the police immediately.

Many Chelmondiston residents enjoy the village's quiet, dark nights, but this can also provide cover for intruders. scOS features Automatic Light Response, which only triggers when a genuine threat is detected by our MotionX AI. This means you won't have floodlights clicking on for every passing cat or fox, but if a person approaches your property, they will be met with instant, bright illumination, stripping away their anonymity.
