Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records your home being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop the burglary from happening. Our MotionX technology is the key difference—it ignores false alarms like wind, animals, or shadows and focuses only on 'important activity.' It recognises human forms even if they are masked or trying to hide. Unlike traditional systems, scOS doesn't require you to set up 'zones'—it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with lights and voice warnings to drive the intruder away before they can cause any damage.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most existing wired IP camera systems, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. Our professional UK-based engineers can usually complete the installation in 4-6 hours, integrating our Intelligence Hub with your current cameras to give them 'AI brains.' We will assess your existing hardware during the install to ensure it's fully compatible with our proactive features. This means you can upgrade to the latest AI security, including presence simulation and escalating voice deterrents, without the cost and hassle of a completely new camera system.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your Dymchurch home look occupied when you're away by mimicking your usual internal lighting and activity patterns. Second, our MotionX AI identifies human threats at your property boundary with incredible accuracy, ignoring the coastal wind and wildlife. Third, if an intruder enters your property, the system triggers Active Intervention. This includes instant security lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. These AI-driven warnings inform the intruder they have been detected and the police are being notified, which is usually enough to make them flee immediately.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid 'Local + Cloud' processing model. The scOS Intelligence Hub on your property handles most of the AI analysis locally for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced features or remote access. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, ensuring your home is protected and your data is secure.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides 360-degree intelligence for your entire property and stops intruders before they even get to your door. Furthermore, scOS uses professional wired cameras that are far more reliable than WiFi-based doorbells, which can be easily jammed. While a doorbell is a useful tool for seeing deliveries, scOS is a proactive security system that uses AI to detect, track, and deter criminals across your whole property, providing much better protection for your home and family.

Dymchurch's coastal location means security systems have to deal with high winds, sea mist, and salt spray. Traditional wireless systems often struggle with signal interference and battery degradation in these conditions. scOS uses professional-grade wired cameras that are much more resilient to the coastal environment. Our MotionX technology is also specifically designed to ignore the movement of wind-blown trees or sea spray, ensuring that you only get alerted when there is a genuine human threat to your property.

For residents who may have holiday homes or spend time away from Dymchurch, our Presence Simulation is a game-changer. It doesn't just turn lights on a timer; it uses AI to learn your actual habits and mimics them realistically. This makes your home appear occupied to anyone watching from the street, which is the single best way to deter opportunistic burglars. You can also use the scOS Director feature to ask natural questions like 'Has anyone been on the driveway while I've been away?' giving you total peace of mind from anywhere in the world.

Kent Police are dedicated, but in coastal villages, response times can vary. scOS provides an immediate, automated response that doesn't wait for a patrol car. By intervening the moment a threat is detected with lights and voice warnings, scOS often stops a crime before it can even begin. This proactive 'first responder' AI ensures your home is actively defending itself 24/7, providing an essential layer of security for the Dymchurch community.
