Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device; it captures footage of a crime for you to watch after the damage is done. scOS is an active intelligence system. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, scOS doesn't just see motion—it understands it. It ignores animals, wind, and shadows, focusing only on 'important activity' like a person crossing your property line. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes. It uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers instant lighting to scare off intruders before they can break in. It’s proactive protection rather than reactive recording.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. We can typically integrate with your existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. Our professional UK-based installation team will perform a full assessment of your current setup during the 4-6 hour install process. By connecting your existing 'dumb' cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub, we can give them a 'brain,' enabling advanced features like person recognition and proactive deterrents without the need for a complete hardware overhaul. This makes upgrading to AI-powered security both efficient and cost-effective.

scOS employs a multi-layered deterrent strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal lighting patterns when you're out. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies human threats the moment they step onto your property, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. The third layer is Active Intervention: the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver authoritative voice warnings and illuminates the area instantly. This escalating response ensures that any intruder knows they have been spotted and that the property is actively defended, usually causing them to flee immediately.

We take data privacy extremely seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike other systems that send your private footage to overseas servers, scOS processes the majority of its intelligence locally on your home's Intelligence Hub. Only critical alerts are escalated to our secure cloud. You have total ownership of your footage, and we never sell or share your data with third parties. Your security system is for your eyes only, accessible via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides whole-property protection. It monitors your entire boundary, from back gardens to side alleys, and detects threats long before they reach your door. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and can be easily 'jammed' by tech-savvy criminals. scOS uses professional wired connections for maximum reliability. Most importantly, while a doorbell just watches a crime happen, scOS is designed to stop it through proactive light and voice interventions.

In areas like Eldon Lane and Coundon Grange, where property crime rates are significantly higher than the national average, a standard alarm isn't enough. scOS features an 'Escalating Response' system. If an intruder ignores the initial light and voice warning and continues to approach your home, the system's deterrents become progressively more intense. This persistent intervention is designed to create a high-pressure environment for the criminal, making your home a much less attractive target than one with a simple, passive alarm system.

Yes. scOS features advanced 'Covered Face Detection.' Our MotionX AI is trained to recognise human shapes and behaviours even when someone is trying to hide their identity with a balaclava, hood, or mask. In fact, suspicious concealment is flagged as a high-priority anomaly, triggering an immediate alert and the strongest level of voice deterrent. We don't need to see a face to know someone shouldn't be there; our system focuses on behaviour and presence to keep you safe.

scOS is built for reliability. Unlike DIY wireless systems that can fail due to poor Wi-Fi or battery issues, scOS is a professionally installed, wired system. This means it cannot be 'jammed' by criminals using electronic interference. Our Intelligence Hub also features local processing, so even if your internet connection dips, the system continues to monitor your property and can still trigger local deterrents like lights and voice warnings. It is a robust, 'always-on' solution designed for high-risk environments.
