Traditional CCTV is a 'passive' system—it records crime but does nothing to prevent it. scOS is 'proactive.' Using our MotionX AI, the system identifies 'important activity' (like a person approaching your home) while ignoring 'noise' like pets or wind. Most importantly, scOS intervenes. If a threat is detected at your boundary, the system automatically triggers lights and authoritative voice warnings via external speakers. It doesn't just watch you get burgled; it actively works to stop the intruder before they ever reach your door.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have cameras installed at your Cliffs End property, our engineers can usually integrate them into our Intelligence Hub during our 4-6 hour professional installation. This 'upgrades' your existing hardware with our advanced AI features like MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition, providing a world-class security solution without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.

scOS uses three layers of deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your habits and mimics internal activity to make your home look occupied when you're away. Second is MotionX: our AI detects suspicious behaviour at your boundary with zero false alarms. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is confirmed, scOS triggers escalating responses, including instant lighting and voice warnings. This immediate, autonomous challenge is designed to make an intruder flee immediately, knowing they have been spotted and identified by a sophisticated system.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We use a local Intelligence Hub to process your video feeds on-site, which means your data stays private and the system remains fast. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property, including driveways and gardens. While a doorbell relies on you to answer a notification, scOS works autonomously. It uses AI to detect threats at your boundary and triggers deterrents automatically, stopping crime before it happens. For a property in Cliffs End, a doorbell is a gadget; scOS is professional security.

Cliffs End's coastal location means cameras are often exposed to salt air and harsh weather. During our professional installation, we ensure that all hardware is correctly positioned and shielded. Furthermore, scOS is a wired system. Unlike wireless cameras or doorbells that can be easily jammed or suffer from poor signal in coastal weather, our wired connections provide a stable, 'un-jammable' security network that works 24/7, regardless of the Kent weather.

While Cliffs End is a beautiful village, its proximity to Ramsgate and the local road network can make it a target for opportunistic crime. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks registrations against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unrecognised car enters your property, scOS can alert you immediately. This is a vital tool for residents who want to protect their vehicles and ensure that any suspicious activity in the area is flagged before it becomes a problem.

No, scOS uses behaviour-based person recognition. This means the system learns to recognise 'known' people (like family members) based on their typical activity and behaviour around the home, rather than storing sensitive biometric facial maps. This provides the security of knowing who should be there versus a stranger, while maintaining a much higher level of privacy and staying fully compliant with UK privacy laws. It’s a smarter, more ethical way to protect your home.
