Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it's happening but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive AI system designed to prevent crime before it reaches your front door. The heart of our system is MotionX, which identifies 'important activity'—specifically human threats—while ignoring common false alarm triggers like animals, wind, or shadows. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't require you to draw complex motion zones; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes immediately with external IoT speakers and lighting, providing an active defence that traditional cameras simply cannot match. It’s the difference between watching a break-in and stopping one.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. If your Corton home already has a wired system, we can likely integrate it with our Intelligence Hub, upgrading your security with world-class AI without the need for a full hardware overhaul. During our professional UK installation, which takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing cameras to ensure they are compatible with our AI. We always recommend wired connections over wireless to ensure your system is immune to the Wi-Fi jamming techniques often used by modern intruders.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the AI learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them inside when you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they move or if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder crosses your boundary, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and switches on lights. This immediate, autonomous response tells the criminal they have been spotted by an active system, usually causing them to flee before they even attempt to enter your home.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Our system uses a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub on your property handles most of the AI processing locally. This ensures your data stays private and the system responds instantly. Data is only sent to our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis or when you want to view your footage remotely. We never sell your data, and you remain in full control of your security recordings at all times.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only shows you who is at your front door, often after they've already arrived. scOS provides proactive, 360-degree protection for your entire property, including gardens, driveways, and side entrances. While a doorbell might alert you to a visitor, scOS uses MotionX to detect and deter intruders before they even reach your door. Furthermore, scOS is a professional, wired system that offers 24/7 recording and intelligent intervention, whereas doorbells are often wireless and can be easily bypassed or jammed. scOS is a complete security solution, not just a digital peephole.

Corton’s coastal location and proximity to holiday parks mean that the village sees a lot of seasonal traffic and many properties are left empty for periods. scOS is perfect for this, as its Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied even when you're away. The system's AI-driven deterrents work 24/7 to protect your property, providing peace of mind that your home is secure even when you're not there. The wired nature of our system also makes it more resilient to the coastal weather conditions that can sometimes interfere with wireless signals.

Vehicle theft can be a concern in areas with high seasonal traffic. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which scans the number plates of any vehicle entering your driveway and checks them against the DVLA database. This allows the system to identify cloned plates or unauthorised vehicles instantly. If a suspicious vehicle is detected, scOS can alert you and initiate its deterrent protocols, such as turning on lights and delivering a voice warning, helping to protect your cars from organised theft.

Suffolk Constabulary does a great job, but response times in coastal villages can be longer than in urban areas. scOS acts as your home's own private security guard, providing an immediate response the moment a threat is detected. The system's autonomous voice and light deterrents work in milliseconds, often scaring off intruders before they can even attempt to enter. This immediate intervention is your best defence, providing a crucial layer of protection that works 24/7, regardless of police response times.
