Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it's happening but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. The core difference is our MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity' rather than just motion. It ignores wind, animals, and shadows, focusing only on human threats. When scOS detects an intruder at your Edenbridge home, it doesn't just record—it intervenes. Using automated lights and voice deterrents, it warns the intruder off, stopping the crime before it even begins. It's the difference between having a witness and having a guard.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have a system at your Edenbridge property, our professional UK installers can likely integrate it with our scOS Intelligence Hub. During the 4-6 hour installation, we'll transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a proactive AI network. This allows you to upgrade to world-class security with MotionX detection and automated deterrents without the cost of replacing all your current hardware.

scOS uses a three-layer approach to deterrence. First, Presence Simulation mimics your household's activity patterns when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they're disguised. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS triggers smart lighting and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, escalating response is designed to unnerve intruders and force them to leave before they can attempt a break-in.

Privacy is a top priority for us. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, never sent abroad. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring your footage remains your property and is never sold. Our system uses local processing on your Intelligence Hub combined with secure cloud storage, giving you 24/7 access to your recordings for up to two weeks via our app. By keeping everything in the UK, we provide a level of security and privacy that international brands simply cannot match.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary, including driveways and gardens. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent it. By detecting intruders at the edge of your property and using proactive deterrents like voice warnings, scOS stops criminals before they even reach your door, offering much more comprehensive protection than a simple doorbell camera.

For Edenbridge residents commuting to London, daytime security is a major concern. scOS is perfect for commuters because of our Presence Simulation. It doesn't just use simple timers; it learns your actual habits and mimics them, making it look like someone is home even when you're at the office. If someone does approach, the system's MotionX AI will spot them and can even use the voice deterrent to say, 'Security is monitoring this property,' which is usually enough to send a daytime burglar packing.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition. This is particularly useful in Edenbridge for monitoring vehicles that might be 'casing' the area. The system checks registrations against the DVLA database and can identify suspicious or unrecognised vehicles on your driveway. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a known history of suspicious activity is detected, scOS can alert you immediately and trigger its deterrents, providing an extra layer of protection for your cars and your home.

scOS is designed to be incredibly reliable. We use wired connections rather than Wi-Fi because they are much harder for criminals to jam. Our Intelligence Hub also processes the core AI locally, meaning that even if your internet connection in Edenbridge is interrupted, the system's most critical features—like detecting an intruder and triggering the lights and voice warnings—will still function. This local-first approach ensures that your home remains protected 24/7, regardless of your external connection.
