Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every swaying branch or passing cat, our proprietary MotionX technology ignores the noise. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity,' such as a person approaching your property or a vehicle pulling into your drive. Because it understands what it sees, it can intervene automatically. Instead of just a notification on your phone while someone is already at your door, scOS identifies the threat at the boundary and uses escalating responses—like lighting and voice warnings—to deter them before they reach your home. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

In most cases, yes. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works seamlessly with the majority of professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, our Intelligence Hub will 'adopt' them, instantly transforming your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, AI-powered network. This allows you to upgrade your home security to the latest AI standards without the cost of replacing every piece of hardware. We prefer wired connections over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be defeated by the Wi-Fi jamming devices often used by modern burglars.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making it appear occupied to anyone watching from the street. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary—even if they are wearing a mask or hood. Finally, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This isn't just a recording; it’s a live response. External IoT speakers deliver clear AI voice warnings while smart lighting illuminates the intruder. By removing the 'cloak of darkness' and making it clear they have been spotted by an intelligent system, scOS forces criminals to move on to an easier, less protected target.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many security companies that outsource data handling to international servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data and AI processing are handled between your local Intelligence Hub and our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data belongs to you and is never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. By keeping the intelligence local and the cloud storage within the UK, we ensure that your home's security data remains under the protection of British privacy laws.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you who is at the door once they’ve already arrived. By that point, a determined criminal may have already checked your windows or tried your side gate. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, not just the front door, and it is designed to stop a crime before it happens. While a doorbell might give you a video of a package being stolen, scOS detects the individual as they step onto your driveway and uses proactive deterrents to ensure they never get close enough to touch your property. It’s a comprehensive security solution versus a simple digital peephole.

Cliffe's location on the Medway marshes can feel isolated, which is exactly what some criminals look for. scOS is designed for this kind of environment. Our MotionX technology works perfectly in low-light and marshland conditions, identifying human activity even at a distance. Because the system is proactive, it acts as a virtual perimeter, giving you an early warning and deterring intruders with lights and voice commands long before they reach your front door. It provides a level of security that makes isolation a benefit, not a risk.

Yes. The B2000 is a key route through the area, and our DVLA Vehicle Recognition can monitor any vehicle that enters your property's vicinity. It checks registration plates against the DVLA database to flag cloned plates or vehicles known to the police. This is a powerful tool for identifying 'casing' behaviour in the village. You can also whitelist your own cars, so the system knows when you've arrived home and won't trigger any deterrents for you or your family.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be conversational. Through our 'scOS Director' AI, you can ask natural questions like, 'Has anyone been near the back gate today?' or 'What time did the delivery arrive?' The AI will scan your footage and give you a direct answer, saving you from scrolling through hours of video. For Cliffe residents who may work in the Medway towns or London, it’s the easiest way to stay connected to your home's security throughout the day.
