Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens so you can watch the footage later. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just detect motion; it identifies "important activity," such as a person approaching your boundary, while ignoring wind, animals, or spiders. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS auto-detects your property lines and uses external IoT speakers and lighting to intervene and deter intruders before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. We transform your "dumb" cameras into an intelligent network by connecting them to our Intelligence Hub, which provides the local processing power needed for our advanced AI features. This allows you to upgrade to world-class intelligence without the cost of replacing all your existing cameras.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your internal activity patterns and replicate them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, MotionX detection identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Finally, the system uses active intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS triggers instant illumination and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they have been spotted and are being monitored.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data stays yours and is never sold to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid approach: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes video locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door—often when it's already too late. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view and often relies on "dumb" motion sensing that triggers for every passing car, scOS monitors your entire boundary. It identifies threats at the edge of your property, provides escalating deterrents to stop them, and uses DVLA-linked vehicle recognition to flag suspicious cars. It’s a comprehensive security shield, not just a digital peephole.

With Ellistown's property crime rate significantly higher than the national average, you need a system that can't be fooled. scOS features Covered Face Detection, which uses AI to identify anyone approaching your home with their face concealed by a mask, hood, or balaclava. The system doesn't just record them; it immediately recognises the suspicious behaviour and triggers escalating voice warnings and lights to drive them away before they can cause any harm.

High-crime areas often see an increase in vehicles with cloned or stolen plates. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically scans the registration of every car that enters your property. It checks these against the national database and can alert you instantly if a suspicious vehicle is detected. This intelligence is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub, providing a vital layer of protection for your home and your own vehicles.

Leicestershire Police are under pressure in high-crime areas, so scOS acts as your first line of defence. Our system is designed to stop crimes before they happen by using proactive deterrents like Presence Simulation and voice warnings. If an incident does occur, scOS provides high-quality, 24/7 recorded evidence. You can even use scOS Director to ask natural questions like "What time did the white van arrive?" to quickly find the footage you need for the police.

Absolutely. Unlike wireless cameras that can be easily disabled with cheap Wi-Fi jammers, scOS uses a professional wired installation. This ensures a stable, unjammable connection that records 24/7. In a high-crime area like Ellistown, this reliability is essential. Our UK-based engineers will install the system in a single day, ensuring your home is protected by a robust, professional-grade security network.
