Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records your East Saltdean home being burgled but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology focuses only on 'important activity.' It understands the difference between a neighbour and a stranger loitering by your property. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. By using property boundary detection, it knows exactly where your land starts and can trigger lights or voice warnings the moment an intruder crosses the line, often stopping a crime before it happens.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes 4-6 hours—our engineers will assess your current setup. We bypass the limited software on your old cameras and link them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub provides the local processing power needed for MotionX and boundary detection, effectively giving your old hardware a 'brain' transplant and bringing it up to modern AI standards.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy to keep East Saltdean properties safe. The first layer is Presence Simulation; when you're away, the system mimics natural human activity inside your home—turning lights on and off in a realistic pattern—to make the property look occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies a threat the moment they step onto your property, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide. The final layer is Active Intervention. If an intruder persists, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver a clear voice warning and illuminates the area. This escalating response removes the intruder's anonymity and makes your home a 'hard target.'

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many international brands that ship your footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. All initial intelligence processing happens locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub within your home. When a potential threat is detected, encrypted data is escalated to our secure UK-based cloud for further analysis and to ensure you can access your footage from anywhere. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, ensuring that your security data remains private and secure.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. In contrast, scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view and often misses activity at the side or rear of the house, scOS monitors your entire perimeter. More importantly, doorbells are passive—they might send you a notification while someone is kicking your door in, but they won't stop them. scOS identifies the threat at the boundary of your East Saltdean property and uses proactive warnings to stop the criminal before they ever reach your front door.

Coastal environments like East Saltdean can be tough on electronics due to salt air and high winds. scOS is built to handle this. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore the movement of wind-blown trees or sea mist that would trigger constant false alarms on traditional systems. Furthermore, our professional installation uses high-quality, weather-sealed cabling and components that are designed to withstand the Sussex coast's unique conditions. We ensure that your intelligence hub and external speakers are positioned and protected to provide years of reliable service despite the salt-heavy atmosphere.

East Saltdean has many properties that are used as holiday homes or are left empty while owners are in Brighton or London. scOS is the perfect solution for these properties. Our Presence Simulation doesn't just use simple timers; it learns and mimics real human activity patterns, making the home look genuinely lived-in. If the system detects a 'scout'—someone hanging around to see if the house is empty—it can trigger a voice deterrent to let them know they are being watched by an active AI system. You can check in on your property 24/7 via our app, giving you total peace of mind from anywhere in the world.

Sussex Police, like many forces, must prioritise their resources. By installing scOS, you are providing them with the highest quality evidence possible. Our system doesn't just show a grainy figure; it uses person recognition to identify suspicious behaviour and DVLA-linked vehicle recognition to log any cars involved. Because scOS is proactive and deters the intruder before they enter the home, it often prevents the need for an emergency police call-out entirely. However, if a crime is attempted, you will have 24/7 recorded footage and AI-analysed data ready to hand over to the authorities.
