Traditional CCTV is a passive system; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive AI guardian that works to prevent the crime from happening in the first place. Our MotionX technology is the key—it identifies 'important activity' (like a person approaching your home) while ignoring false triggers like wind, animals, or shadows. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it takes action by triggering lights and delivering escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. It transforms your security from a simple camera into an active, intelligent system that defends your Cranbrook home 24/7.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. Our professional UK installation team can integrate your existing cameras into the scOS Intelligence Hub in just 4-6 hours. This allows you to upgrade to a high-intelligence AI system without the need for a full hardware replacement. We use wired connections because they are far more reliable than Wi-Fi and cannot be jammed by criminals, which is a critical consideration for ensuring your home's security is never compromised.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation mimics your home's internal activity patterns when you're away, making it look like someone is always home. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders at your property boundary, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third, the system provides an Active Response: if someone enters your property, it triggers lights and escalating voice warnings from external speakers. This proactive approach is designed to make criminals feel 'exposed,' usually causing them to flee before they ever attempt to break in.

Your privacy is our 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 never sell your data to third parties. The system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI processing locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for remote access and advanced analysis. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. scOS provides proactive, 360-degree protection for your entire property, including driveways and side entrances. While doorbells often suffer from false alarms and 'motion blindness,' scOS uses MotionX to accurately detect threats with zero false alarms. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just show you who is at the door; it actively deters intruders at the boundary using AI-driven voice and light responses, stopping crime before it starts.

Cranbrook is a rapidly growing community, and new-build areas can sometimes be targeted by opportunistic thieves who look for predictable patterns in new neighbourhoods. scOS is perfect for new homes because our professional installers can often utilise the modern wiring already in place to create a seamless, high-tech security network. Our AI-driven presence simulation is particularly effective in new communities where neighbours may not yet know each other's routines, providing an extra layer of 'virtual' occupancy.

Devon & Cornwall Police data shows that while property crime is relatively low, the overall crime rate in growing areas like Cranbrook can be higher than in established villages. scOS helps by providing a visible and audible deterrent that signals your home is a 'hard target.' By using AI to proactively deter intruders, you are not only protecting your own property but also helping to establish a standard of high security that benefits the entire Cranbrook community.

Absolutely. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs every vehicle that enters your driveway and checks it against the national database. This can identify suspicious cars or cloned plates. In an area like Cranbrook, which is close to Exeter Airport and major transport links, having an AI system that can spot a suspicious vehicle before a theft attempt is made provides an invaluable layer of protection for your cars and your home.
