Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being burgled, whereas scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent the crime from happening. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our proprietary MotionX technology ignores environmental noise to focus exclusively on 'important activity.' It requires no manual 'tripwires' or 'zones' because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automated light and voice responses to deter the intruder before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK-based installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX AI and proactive deterrent features to your current setup, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement while vastly upgrading your security.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home when you're away, making the property look occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour—even if the person is masked or crawling—without the false alarms that lead to complacency. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers Active Intervention. This involves instant illumination and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers, informing the intruder they have been detected and the police are being notified.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Unlike many competitors who ship data to overseas servers, your footage and data are processed locally on your Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data remains entirely yours; we never sell or share your information with third parties. 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 is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your front door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a package. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system that monitors your entire perimeter. While a doorbell might show you a crime in progress, scOS is designed to stop the crime before it happens by detecting intruders at the boundary of your property. With features like vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, we provide a level of professional security that a simple doorbell camera cannot match.

With the Hinkley Point C project nearby, Combwich sees a lot of transient traffic and unfamiliar faces. scOS uses 'Person Recognition' which focuses on behaviour rather than just faces. It learns the normal patterns of your family and regular visitors, allowing it to flag anomalies—such as someone loitering or approaching the property in an unusual way—ensuring you are alerted to genuine strangers without being bothered by the local postie.

Combwich is a peaceful village with a very low crime rate, but this can often lead to complacency. Burglars often target 'safe' areas because security is typically more relaxed. scOS ensures you are never a 'soft target' by providing 24/7 proactive monitoring. Even if you haven't seen a crime in years, our Presence Simulation keeps your home looking active, and our AI remains vigilant so you don't have to.

scOS uses a wired-over-wireless approach for its primary infrastructure. Unlike many consumer-grade WiFi cameras that can be easily disabled with cheap 'jamming' devices bought online, our wired connections are immune to such interference. This ensures that your security remains online and functional even if a sophisticated intruder attempts to disrupt your home network.
