Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that aims to stop the crime from happening in the first place. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity.' It recognises human movement patterns—even if someone is crawling or wearing a mask—and ignores environmental noise. This means zero false alarms. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. When a threat is detected, the system can automatically trigger external lights and escalating voice warnings from IoT speakers to deter the intruder before they ever touch your door or windows.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with almost any professional-grade wired IP camera, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. We believe in transforming 'dumb' cameras into intelligent assets. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video locally before escalating specific events to our secure UK cloud for deeper analysis. This approach allows you to upgrade your home security to world-class AI standards without the need to replace all your existing wiring or hardware.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal lighting and activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary—no matter how they try to hide their shape or face. Third is Active Intervention. If an intruder persists, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination of external lights and moves to clear, AI-generated voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By challenging the intruder early and making it clear they are being monitored by an intelligent system, scOS forces them to leave before a break-in occurs.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub in your home handles the initial 'local' processing of video feeds. Only when the AI identifies a potential security event is the relevant data escalated to our UK cloud for advanced analysis. You retain full control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. We never sell your data, and our system is designed so that your private life remains private, focusing only on security threats.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your front door, often after they've already pressed the button or triggered a sensor. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, including side paths, back gardens, and driveways. More importantly, doorbells rarely deter a determined criminal; they just record them. scOS proactively intervenes using presence simulation and voice deterrents to stop a criminal before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a digital security guard watching every corner of your home 24/7.

Cherry Willingham is a popular choice for families working in Lincoln. If you're away during the day, scOS's Presence Simulation is invaluable. It doesn't just use simple timers; it learns how you use your home and replicates those patterns—turning on lights in the kitchen or lounge at natural times—to make the house look occupied. You can also use 'scOS Director' to ask natural questions like 'Has the gardener been?' or 'Was there any activity while I was at work?' for instant updates.

Lincolnshire Police often deal with rural theft and outbuilding break-ins. scOS is perfect for protecting garages, sheds, and workshops. Our MotionX technology can be deployed to monitor these specific areas, and because the system uses wired connections, it cannot be 'jammed' by the signal blockers that some modern thieves use to bypass wireless DIY systems. Your tools and vehicles stay protected by the same high-level AI as your main house.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be family-friendly. Our 'Person Recognition' feature learns to distinguish between family members and strangers based on their regular behaviour and patterns. This means the system won't trigger deterrents for your children coming home from school, but it will remain fully vigilant against unknown individuals who shouldn't be on your property.
