Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that acts as a digital security guard. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which doesn't just detect 'motion' like old systems that trigger for every spider or gust of wind. Instead, it identifies 'important activity'—specifically recognising people and vehicles with near-zero false alarms. While your old system might send you a hundred useless notifications, scOS only alerts you when it matters. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. By using automatic property boundary detection, it knows exactly where your land starts and can trigger lights or voice warnings the moment a trespasser crosses the line, stopping a crime before it even begins.

Absolutely. One of the most powerful features of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. We can take your existing 'dumb' wired IP cameras—whether they are Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, or other major brands—and transform them into a high-end AI security network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes about 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub then applies our advanced MotionX AI and proactive deterrent features to your existing feeds. This means you don't have to rip out your current investment to get world-class AI protection; you just need to give your cameras the 'brain' they’ve been missing.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to keep your Dunkeswell home safe. The first layer is Presence Simulation. This isn't just a simple timer; it uses AI to learn your normal internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home appear occupied to anyone watching. The second layer is our MotionX detection. Our AI recognises people regardless of how they move or if they try to cover their faces with hoods or masks. Finally, we have Active Intervention. If a threat is detected on your property, the system triggers escalating responses. This starts with instant illumination from external lights and can progress to clear, authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By the time a criminal reaches your door, they already know they've been spotted and identified.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many international brands that send your footage to servers across the globe, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your data is processed through our UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles much of the heavy lifting locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. You retain full control over your footage at all times. We never sell your data, and we ensure that your private life stays private. You get the benefits of world-class AI without the privacy concerns associated with big-tech silicon valley or overseas companies.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. By that point, a package might already be gone or a lock might be tampered with. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back garden. More importantly, scOS is proactive. A doorbell might record a thief, but scOS stops them from approaching in the first place through presence simulation and escalating voice deterrents. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a professional security team watching every corner of your property 24/7. In a rural village like Dunkeswell, a doorbell simply doesn't provide the necessary coverage.

Dunkeswell is a unique village, known for its airfield and its position within the Blackdown Hills. While the crime rate is low, the secluded nature of many properties can make them attractive to burglars who want to work undisturbed. scOS is designed for this environment. Our MotionX AI is perfect for rural settings, as it ignores the movement of trees and local wildlife, focusing only on real threats. By using proactive voice deterrents, scOS ensures that any intruder is immediately aware they have been spotted, removing the advantage of seclusion and protecting your home even in the quietest parts of the village.

The presence of Dunkeswell Airfield means there is often a variety of vehicles moving through the village. scOS includes integrated DVLA vehicle recognition, which can be a vital tool for homeowners. Our system can identify and log every vehicle that enters your property boundary, checking registrations against the DVLA database. This allows you to distinguish between expected visitors and suspicious vehicles that may be scouting the area. If a vehicle with a known history of suspicious activity or cloned plates is detected, scOS can alert you immediately, providing an extra layer of intelligence for your home's security.

Devon & Cornwall Police have a large area to cover, and in the Blackdown Hills, response times can be longer than in urban areas. scOS acts as your first line of defence. The system's proactive deterrents—lights and voice warnings—are designed to stop a crime in progress, often causing an intruder to flee before they even attempt to enter your home. If you do need to involve the police, scOS provides clear, 24/7 recording and AI-filtered event logs. You can use scOS Director to quickly find the exact footage needed, giving the police high-quality evidence to help with their investigation.
