Traditional CCTV is a passive witness; it records your home being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is an active guardian. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which doesn't just see movement—it understands activity. Unlike standard systems that trigger false alarms for spiders, wind, or shadows, MotionX identifies 'important activity,' such as a person approaching your boundary. Because scOS understands what it sees, it can intervene automatically. While your old system would just record an intruder, scOS detects them at the property line, illuminates them with smart lighting, and delivers a voice warning via external speakers. It’s the difference between having a camera and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. We can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI network. Our system works with almost all professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, 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-based cloud for advanced analysis. This means you don't need to rip out your current investment to benefit from proactive AI protection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and automated deterrents.

scOS uses a three-layered proactive approach to stop crime before it happens. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you're away on holiday or at work. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies people regardless of how they move or if they try to conceal their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, there is Active Intervention. When an intruder crosses your auto-detected property boundary, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination to let the intruder know they've been spotted, followed by clear voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By intervening at the boundary, scOS prevents the break-in from ever occurring.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data is processed through our Intelligence Hub located on your property for immediate local response, with critical events escalated to our secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data stays yours and is never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. You can access this footage securely from anywhere in the world, knowing that your home's intelligence is handled entirely within British jurisdiction.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a laggy motion sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front porch, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. Doorbell cameras are often wireless and can be easily defeated by WiFi jammers; scOS uses secure, wired connections that are immune to jamming. Furthermore, doorbells don't deter—they just record. scOS actively intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop a criminal before they even reach your door, providing a level of security a doorbell simply cannot match.

For Chickerell residents with second homes or those who travel frequently, Presence Simulation is invaluable. Unlike basic light timers, scOS learns your actual habits—when you're in the kitchen, when you go to bed, and even how you move through the house. When you're away, it replicates these patterns with your internal lighting. To any burglar scouting the area near the Fleet, your home looks perfectly lived-in, making it a much less attractive target.

Living near the coast means your equipment has to stand up to the elements. While scOS is the 'brain' of the system, we recommend and install high-quality, weather-sealed wired cameras that are built to withstand salt air and Dorset's coastal weather. Because our system is wired, you also don't have to worry about the thick stone walls of some local properties interfering with wireless signals, ensuring 100% reliability year-round.

scOS Director is our conversational AI. You can simply ask it questions like, 'Was there any unusual activity while I was at the Fleet Lagoon today?' or 'Show me the person who delivered the parcel this morning.' It understands natural language and can search through your 24/7 recordings in seconds, saving you from the frustration of manually checking hours of footage.
