Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records what happened but doesn't stop it. It also relies on 'motion masks' which cause constant false alarms. scOS uses MotionX, an AI that understands 'important activity' automatically. It detects your property boundaries without any manual setup and recognises people even if they try to hide their identity. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes immediately with external IoT speakers and lights to warn the intruder off. It’s an active, intelligent security guard for your home, not just a recording device.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. Our UK-based engineers can usually complete the installation in 4-6 hours, connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub. This 'brain' upgrade gives your old cameras new life, enabling advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and scOS Director. We’ll assess your current camera placement during installation to ensure you’re getting the best possible protection for your Dane End property, making your existing investment much more effective.

scOS uses three layers of protection. First, Presence Simulation mimics your internal lighting patterns to make your home look occupied while you're out. Second, MotionX AI detects intruders the moment they cross your boundary, ignoring false alarms like pets or wind. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver voice warnings and lights flash to tell the intruder they've been spotted. This immediate, automated response is designed to stop a criminal before they even attempt to break in, making it a far more effective deterrent than a simple alarm.

We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, so your footage is yours alone—we never sell or share it. scOS uses a hybrid of local and cloud processing; the Intelligence Hub in your home handles immediate detection, while our UK cloud provides advanced AI analysis. This ensures your system is fast, reliable, and private. You have 24/7 access to your recordings for up to two weeks via our secure app, no matter where you are.

A video doorbell only sees what's at your front door and often only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary and detecting intruders much earlier. Doorbells are also often wireless and can be easily jammed. scOS uses professional wired connections for total reliability. Most importantly, scOS is proactive—it uses AI to automatically deter intruders with voice and light warnings, whereas a doorbell is a passive tool that requires you to be available to answer a notification.

Dane End’s secluded location in the Hertfordshire countryside can make it a target for rural crime, as intruders feel they have more time and privacy. scOS is designed to counter this by being your 'eyes and ears' 24/7. Our MotionX AI is particularly effective in rural settings because it ignores wildlife and swaying trees, focusing only on human threats. By providing an immediate voice and light deterrent, scOS removes the 'privacy' an intruder expects, making your home a much less attractive target.

Many properties in Dane End have large gardens or outbuildings that are hard to monitor. scOS is perfect for this because it doesn't just watch the house; it monitors your entire property boundary. Our AI can detect someone entering your land long before they get near your home or outbuildings. If an intruder is detected, the system can trigger external speakers and lights across the property, ensuring that every corner of your land is actively defended, not just the main entrance.

No. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to eliminate false alarms. It ignores animals, birds, swaying trees, and even spiders on the lens. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour and vehicle movement. This is vital in rural areas like Dane End where wildlife is common. When scOS sends you an alert, you can be certain it’s a genuine security concern, not just a fox or a windy night, giving you peace of mind without the annoyance of constant false notifications.
