Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, whereas scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime before it happens. While standard systems rely on 'motion masks' that trigger false alarms from spiders or wind, our MotionX technology uses advanced spatial awareness to identify 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour—with zero false alarms. Instead of just filming a break-in, scOS detects the approach, identifies the threat, and uses escalating responses like light and voice deterrents to turn the intruder away before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence security network. If you have a wired IP camera system (such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink), our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with it during our professional single-day installation. During your initial assessment, our UK-based engineers will verify your hardware's compatibility to ensure it can support our advanced AI features like MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition.

scOS employs a three-layered proactive defence strategy. First, Presence Simulation learns your daily habits to realistically mimic human activity inside your home when you're out, making the property appear occupied to anyone watching. Second, our MotionX AI monitors your boundaries 24/7, instantly recognising people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system triggers an active intervention: external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings while smart lighting illuminates the intruder, creating an escalating response that forces criminals to flee.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. All data processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK data centres, ensuring full GDPR compliance. Unlike many international brands, we never sell your data or allow third-party access; your footage and activity patterns remain entirely under your control, accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While doorbells are often wireless and easily jammed, scOS uses professional wired connections for 24/7 reliability. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes, using AI to detect suspicious behaviour across your whole garden or driveway and stopping a crime before the intruder ever gets close to your front door.

In rural Shropshire, West Mercia Police have a vast area to cover. scOS provides an immediate, automated response that doesn't wait for a patrol car. By using voice deterrents and instant lighting, the system can often scare off an intruder the moment they step onto your property, providing a vital first line of defence in more isolated locations.

scOS is perfect for properties with larger boundaries or multiple access points. Our AI automatically detects your property lines, so you don't need to worry about setting up complex zones. Whether it's a front driveway or a rear garden backing onto fields, scOS provides consistent, intelligent monitoring across your entire perimeter.

Our Intelligence Hub stores up to two weeks of 24/7 high-definition recording locally, which is also accessible via our secure cloud. This ensures that even if your internet connection is interrupted, your property is still being recorded and protected. You can review footage at any time from your smartphone, no matter where you are in the world.
