Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with footage of a person in a mask. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands activity. It ignores the wind in the trees or a fox in the garden, focusing exclusively on important events like a person approaching your property. Instead of just watching, scOS intervenes. It uses AI to detect your property boundaries automatically and can trigger instant light and voice deterrents to stop an intruder before they even reach your door. There are no motion masks to draw and no false alarms to ignore—just intelligent, 24/7 monitoring that acts like a digital security guard for your home.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them from 'dumb' recording devices into an intelligent AI system. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Hub, we can apply our MotionX intelligence and proactive deterrents to your current hardware. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the need to replace every camera on your property, provided they meet the necessary technical standards for wired connectivity.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal lighting and activity patterns to make the house appear occupied even when you're away. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies 'important activity' the moment someone enters your property, even if they are trying to hide their face or move stealthily. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just alert you; it reacts. It can instantly illuminate the area and deliver escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response signals to the intruder that they have been spotted by a system that is actively watching them, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many security companies that ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data and AI processing are handled by our UK data centres, and we are fully GDPR compliant. The system uses a hybrid approach: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for alerts or remote viewing. Your data belongs to you; we never sell it, and you have total control over who can access your footage. You get the benefit of high-end AI intelligence without compromising the privacy of your home or family.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses MotionX to detect threats long before they reach the door and employs active deterrents like voice warnings and presence simulation to prevent the crime from happening in the first place. Furthermore, scOS uses professional wired cameras which cannot be jammed like many wireless doorbell signals, ensuring your protection is constant and reliable regardless of your Wi-Fi strength.

Desborough's location near the A14 makes it accessible for criminals using vehicles to scout locations. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically logs the registration plates of vehicles entering your property or loitering nearby. The system checks these against the DVLA database to identify potential red flags, such as cloned plates. This data is stored securely, allowing you to provide high-quality evidence to Northamptonshire Police if an incident occurs, or simply to keep track of who is visiting your property while you're out.

Newer developments in Desborough often have open-plan frontages where traditional sensors struggle. scOS uses AI-driven Automatic Property Boundary Detection. It 'sees' where your driveway and garden end and the public pavement begins. You don't need to draw boxes on a screen; the AI understands the layout of your property out of the box. This ensures that people walking past on the street don't trigger alerts, but anyone stepping onto your private land is immediately identified and monitored by the system.

Yes, scOS is a wired system, which is a significant advantage over the wireless DIY kits often found in retail stores. Wireless cameras can be easily defeated by 'jamming' devices that block Wi-Fi signals. By using professional wired connections, scOS ensures that your cameras are always communicating with the Intelligence Hub. Our professional UK installation team handles all the cabling, typically completing the setup in just 4-6 hours, leaving you with a robust, tamper-proof system that provides 24/7 recording and intelligence.
