Traditional CCTV is a 'watch-only' service; scOS is a 'watch-and-act' service. While old systems rely on motion sensors that trigger for every cat or gust of wind, our MotionX technology uses AI to identify only 'important activity'—specifically human threats. scOS doesn't just record the crime; it uses automatic boundary detection and escalating responses (lights and voice) to actively deter intruders before they can cause damage or gain entry.

In most cases, yes. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with professional wired IP cameras from manufacturers like Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis. Our UK-based engineers will assess your existing setup during our 4-6 hour installation process. We can usually link your current cameras to our Intelligence Hub, instantly upgrading them with our advanced AI, person recognition, and proactive deterrent features.

scOS employs three distinct layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation mimics your internal activity patterns to make your home look occupied while you're out or commuting to Cambridge. Second, MotionX detection spots intruders the moment they cross your property line, even if they are wearing masks. Third, the system uses an escalating response: it triggers external lights and then delivers authoritative voice warnings via IoT speakers to let the intruder know they've been detected.

Your data security is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Your footage is processed locally on your Hub and stored in our secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are kept for 14 days and can be accessed securely from anywhere via our app.

A video doorbell is a reactive gadget that only covers your front door. scOS is a proactive intelligence system for your entire property. In a village like Cottenham, where homes often have large gardens and multiple access points, a doorbell isn't enough. scOS monitors your whole boundary and intervenes to stop a crime before the criminal even reaches your door or windows.

With many Cottenham residents working in the Cambridge tech and science sectors, homes often contain high-value equipment. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition system identifies every car that enters your property and checks it against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious profile is detected, scOS alerts you immediately, helping to prevent targeted thefts.

MotionX is perfect for the large gardens often found in Cottenham. It is trained to ignore 'non-important' motion like foxes, birds, or wind-blown trees. It focuses exclusively on human movement and behaviour. This means you won't be bothered by false alarms, but you can be 100% certain that if your phone pings, there is a genuine person on your property who shouldn't be there.

scOS Director is our conversational AI. Instead of hunting through hours of video, you can simply ask it questions like, 'Was there anyone in the garden while I was at work?' or 'What time did the gardener arrive?' It understands natural language and provides instant answers based on its activity logs, making managing your home security as easy as having a conversation.
