Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records crime for you to watch after the fact. scOS is a proactive guardian that uses MotionX technology to identify "important activity" in real-time, ignoring false triggers like wind or animals. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is identified, the system doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice warnings from external IoT speakers to deter the intruder before they can cause damage.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. Our professional UK-based installation team will assess your current setup during their visit. By connecting your "dumb" cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we transform your existing hardware into a sophisticated AI network capable of DVLA vehicle recognition and proactive deterrence, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement while significantly upgrading your security.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation mimics your typical internal activity patterns when you're away, making the home appear occupied. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone crosses your property boundary, even if they are attempting to conceal their face or figure. Finally, the system uses Active Intervention, triggering external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and instant illumination. This combination of looking occupied and reacting instantly to threats makes your home a much harder target for criminals.

We take your privacy seriously, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and only escalated to our secure UK-based data centres when necessary for AI analysis or remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring your footage remains your property and is never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that usually only alerts you once someone is already at your front door. In contrast, scOS provides whole-property intelligence that aims to stop crime before it reaches your entrance. By monitoring your entire boundary and using proactive measures like presence simulation and voice deterrents, scOS identifies and challenges intruders at the edge of your property. While a doorbell provides a video of a crime in progress, scOS is designed to prevent the crime from ever happening.

Eastwood's busy residential and retail areas mean there is often a lot of foot traffic. Traditional CCTV would be overwhelmed with false alerts, but scOS uses MotionX to focus only on "important activity." It ignores people simply walking past on the pavement and only alerts you if someone enters your property boundary or exhibits suspicious behaviour, such as loitering or covering their face.

Yes, scOS includes Covered Face Detection, which is a vital tool in Nottinghamshire. If the AI detects someone approaching your property with their face obscured by a balaclava, hood, or mask, it immediately flags this as high-risk activity. The system can then trigger an immediate escalating response, such as turning on all external lights and issuing a firm voice warning to let the individual know they have been spotted.

scOS is designed to be tamper-proof. Unlike wireless DIY cameras that can be easily disabled with cheap Wi-Fi jammers, our professional installations use wired connections. This ensures that your Intelligence Hub remains connected to your cameras at all times, providing 24/7 recording and AI analysis that criminals cannot simply "switch off" with a signal blocker.
