Traditional CCTV systems are passive—they record what happens, but by then the crime is already underway. scOS is proactive. Its Intelligence Hub uses advanced AI to monitor your cameras 24/7, instantly detecting suspicious behaviour before criminals act. When threats are detected, scOS automatically deploys multiple interventions: presence simulation mimics occupancy with lights and sounds, MotionX tracks intruders with directed spotlights, and active response protocols alert you and authorities in seconds. You're not just recording evidence—you're actively stopping crime in real-time.

Yes. scOS works with most existing wired IP cameras—you likely won't need to replace them. The Intelligence Hub connects to your current camera system and adds AI-powered monitoring on top. If you need new cameras or prefer a complete scOS setup, professional installation is available. Our team will assess your property and configure everything for optimal protection. For tech-confident users, self-setup is also an option.

scOS uses three integrated layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied at all times with automated lighting and sound patterns, making burglars think twice before approaching. Second, MotionX actively tracks suspicious movement with directed spotlights and audio warnings, creating an immediately hostile environment for intruders. Third, Active Intervention—the moment an intrusion is detected, scOS alerts you and authorities within seconds, mobilising professional response. Together, these layers make your home a hard target that criminals will naturally avoid.

Your data is stored in UK data centres and processed in compliance with GDPR. All video streams from your cameras stay private and secure. The Intelligence Hub performs local AI analysis on your property, meaning your video footage is analysed locally first—only relevant alerts and metadata are sent to the cloud for backup and authorisation when needed. You maintain complete control over your footage and can access it anytime through the scOS app.

Video doorbells only cover your front door and only show you who's there—after they've already approached your home. scOS monitors your entire property with multiple cameras, and critically, it stops criminals before they even reach your door. While a doorbell is reactive (you see an intruder), scOS is preventative (it deters them with presence simulation, tracks them with spotlights, and alerts authorities in seconds). For full-property protection with active threat prevention, scOS is in a completely different category.

scOS detects and responds in seconds. The Intelligence Hub continuously analyses your camera feeds using local AI processing. The moment suspicious behaviour is detected—whether it's someone climbing a fence, breaking a window, or lurking near your property—scOS immediately activates presence simulation, deploys MotionX tracking, and sends alerts to your phone and emergency contacts. This speed is crucial: the faster your system responds, the more likely it is to stop the crime before it escalates.

The Intelligence Hub requires a stable internet connection for full AI protection. If your internet is interrupted, local camera recording continues (footage is stored locally), but AI detection and active interventions won't function until your connection is restored. This is why reliable broadband is essential for scOS. We recommend a backup router or dual-connection setup for redundancy, especially in areas like Enfield where property crime is a concern.

Professional installation is available and recommended. Our installation team will assess your property, identify optimal camera positions for full coverage, install the Intelligence Hub securely, and configure everything for seamless operation. However, for tech-confident users comfortable with networking and camera setup, self-setup is an option. Professional installation ensures you get the best protection from day one.

scOS pricing is per camera at just 63p per day, giving you complete flexibility to scale your system. Start with one camera and expand as needed. There's no hidden costs or pricing based on property size—you only pay for the cameras you need. The Intelligence Hub (included) powers all AI features for as many cameras as you add.

Yes. scOS works well for rental properties and can actually increase your property value and reduce insurance premiums. Tenants benefit from enhanced security, and landlords get peace of mind knowing the property is actively protected 24/7. Because it integrates with existing camera systems and doesn't require structural modifications, it's ideal for rental setups where you can't make permanent changes.
