Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is an active participant in your home's safety. Our system uses MotionX technology, which doesn't just look for movement—it understands it. Unlike traditional systems that require you to draw complex 'motion masks' to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX works out of the box to identify important activity. It ignores the wind and wildlife, focusing entirely on genuine threats. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just send a notification; it initiates a proactive response, using light and voice deterrents to stop an intruder before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with almost any existing wired IP camera system, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. We transform your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network by connecting them to our local Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video feed locally before escalating critical data to our secure UK cloud. This means you don't need to rip out your existing investment to benefit from world-class AI protection. We simply give your current cameras the 'brain' they’ve been missing, enabling features like property boundary detection and escalating responses without needing new camera hardware.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your normal internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the very edge of your property. It recognises people even if they are hooded or attempting to hide their figure. Finally, if a person crosses your automatically detected property boundary, the system triggers Active Intervention. This starts with instant illumination from external lights and escalates to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By combining the appearance of an occupied home with immediate, escalating responses to trespassing, scOS ensures that criminals decide your home is far too much trouble to target.

At scOS, we believe your data belongs to you. Unlike many security companies that outsource data processing to international servers, we are 100% UK-based. Your video is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action, and only critical events are escalated to our secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your footage is encrypted and stored safely for up to 14 days, accessible only by you through our secure app. We never sell your data or use it for anything other than protecting your home. You have total control over your privacy, with the peace of mind that your family's most private moments are protected by British privacy standards and stored right here on home soil.

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 proactive, whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, from the back fence to the driveway. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens. A doorbell won't simulate your presence inside the house or deliver an escalating voice warning to a prowler in your garden. scOS uses wired connections for reliability, whereas many doorbells rely on easily jammed Wi-Fi. In short, a doorbell is for deliveries; scOS is for total home security and crime prevention.

Ditchling’s location at the foot of the South Downs is idyllic, but the easy access to rural trails can provide cover for intruders. scOS is designed for these environments, using MotionX AI to monitor your property boundaries 24/7. It can distinguish between a hiker lost near your fence and someone intentionally trespassing. By providing a clear, proactive deterrent, scOS ensures that your home remains a private sanctuary, even with the increased footfall from the nearby Downs.

Many homes in Ditchling are of significant historical or architectural value. Our professional UK installation team is experienced in working with heritage properties, ensuring that cameras and IoT speakers are installed discreetly and respectfully. We use wired connections for maximum reliability, hiding cables wherever possible to maintain the aesthetic of your home while providing cutting-edge AI protection.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask, 'Was there any unusual activity while I was at the Ditchling Museum today?' or 'Has the gardener been yet?' It’s like having a digital security guard who knows your home intimately. This makes managing your security effortless, providing instant answers without you having to scroll through hours of footage.
