Traditional CCTV is a passive witness that only records crime as it happens, often leaving you with nothing but grainy footage of a getaway. scOS transforms your security into a proactive digital guard. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, the system ignores irrelevant movement like swaying trees or pets and focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is detected, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic lighting and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between watching a crime and preventing one entirely.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. We can take your existing 'dumb' wired IP cameras—whether they are Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, or Axis—and give them a 'brain.' By connecting your current hardware to our scOS Intelligence Hub, we upgrade your passive recording setup into a fully proactive AI security system. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current cameras to ensure they meet the technical requirements for our AI processing. This allows you to leverage your previous investments while benefiting from world-class AI monitoring and proactive protection.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal touches your property. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal activity patterns and simulates them while you're away, making your home appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour—even if the person is crawling or wearing a mask—without the false alarms that lead to complacency. Finally, if an intruder crosses your boundary, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By removing the element of surprise and making the intruder feel watched, scOS forces them to move on.

Privacy and trust are at the heart of scOS. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information remain your property and are never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your data through the scOS app, with 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recorded footage, ensuring you have the evidence you need while maintaining absolute digital privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your door—often when it's already too late. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back fence. More importantly, doorbells rarely deter a determined criminal; they just record them. scOS proactively intervenes using AI-driven lights and voice deterrents to stop a crime before the perpetrator even reaches your front door. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection, scOS offers a level of professional-grade security that a consumer doorbell simply cannot match.

Coxheath is surrounded by beautiful Kent countryside, but rural-fringe villages often face specific threats like shed break-ins and theft of garden machinery. scOS is designed to protect your entire boundary, not just the house. Our AI automatically detects the edges of your property, including large gardens and outbuildings. If someone attempts to enter your garden from the fields or loiters near your shed, the system will trigger an escalating response. This proactive approach is far more effective than traditional alarms, which only sound once a break-in has already occurred, giving you a vital layer of protection for your outdoor assets.

Yes, scOS is perfect for families with pets. One of the biggest frustrations with traditional security systems is false alarms caused by dogs or cats in the garden. Our MotionX technology is revolutionary because it doesn't just look for 'motion'; it looks for 'important activity.' The AI is trained to recognise the movement patterns of humans and can easily distinguish them from pets, foxes, or swaying trees. This means you can let your dog out in the garden at night without worrying about triggering the voice deterrents or receiving a false alert on your phone.

Kent Police, like many forces, are increasingly reliant on high-quality digital evidence. scOS provides 24/7 recording with up to two weeks of footage stored in our secure UK cloud. More importantly, our AI features like DVLA Vehicle Recognition and Covered Face Detection provide the specific details that help solve crimes. If a suspicious vehicle is seen in Coxheath, scOS logs the plate and checks it against the DVLA database. If an intruder wears a mask, our system flags it as suspicious behaviour immediately. This high-level intelligence provides the police with actionable data rather than just a vague video of a person in a hoodie.
