Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage for a police report. scOS is proactive home intelligence. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands activity. While old systems rely on 'motion masks' that fail when a spider crawls over the lens, MotionX ignores environmental noise like wind or animals and focuses solely on important activity. It automatically detects your property boundaries in Crick without you needing to draw digital lines. When a genuine threat is identified, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes with automatic light responses and escalating voice deterrents from external IoT speakers. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to breathe new life into existing hardware. If you have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can often integrate with them. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We transform 'dumb' cameras that simply record into 'intelligent' nodes of a proactive network. By offloading the heavy lifting to our local and cloud-based AI, your old cameras gain the ability to recognise people, detect covered faces, and trigger our sophisticated deterrent ecosystem, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop crime before it starts. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your normal internal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making your home look occupied to anyone scouting the area. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious behaviour or people attempting to conceal their identity with hoods or masks, even if they try to crawl or hide. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat crosses your property boundary, scOS triggers instant illumination and escalating voice warnings via external IoT speakers. Unlike a simple alarm, scOS provides a progressive response that makes it clear to any intruder that they have been spotted and are being monitored.

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. Unlike many consumer brands that send footage to overseas servers, your video remains under your control. We use a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles initial detection locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud for advanced AI analysis and remote access. We never sell your data, and our 'scOS Director' conversational AI allows you to query your own data securely, ensuring you have the intelligence you need without compromising your family's privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. Doorbells often suffer from 'notification fatigue' due to false alarms and have a limited field of view. scOS uses MotionX to eliminate false alarms and monitors your whole perimeter, from the driveway to the back fence. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your land. With professional wired installation, scOS is also immune to the WiFi jamming techniques that sophisticated criminals use to disable wireless doorbells.

Crick’s proximity to the M1 and the DIRFT logistics hub means there is a high volume of transient traffic and commercial vehicles. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is essential for identifying suspicious vehicles that may be 'casing' the village. The system logs every plate and can alert you if a vehicle with a history of suspicious activity is detected near your home. This provides an extra layer of intelligence that is vital for residents in high-traffic areas like Crick.

Yes, scOS is designed to provide high-level security for everyone. Our 'scOS Director' allows you to interact with the system using natural language, making it incredibly easy to use. You can simply ask your phone, 'Is the house secure?' or 'Who was at the door today?' and get a clear, spoken answer. This removes the complexity of traditional security systems, providing peace of mind for all Crick residents, regardless of their technical ability.

Crick has a property crime rate that is close to the national average, making proactive security a necessity rather than a luxury. scOS doesn't just record crime; it actively works to prevent it. By using AI to detect threats early and intervening with voice deterrents, scOS provides a much higher level of protection than a standard alarm or CCTV system. It’s a professional-grade solution designed to keep your home safe in an area with significant transient activity.
