Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS transforms your security from a witness into a digital security guard. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, the system ignores the 'noise' that plagues standard cameras—like wind, spiders, or shadows—and focuses exclusively on important activity. Because it understands what it sees, it can intervene the moment a threat is detected. While your old system might send you a notification of a burglary in progress, scOS is already using lights and voice warnings to drive the intruder away before they reach your door. It’s the difference between watching a video of a loss and preventing the loss entirely.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with almost any existing wired IP camera system, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. We don't believe in forcing you to rip out perfectly good hardware. Instead, our Intelligence Hub connects to your current cameras and 'upgrades' them with our advanced AI. During your professional installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup to ensure everything is compatible and positioned for optimal AI performance. By layering scOS over your existing cameras, you gain proactive protection and intelligent features like MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition without the cost of a full hardware replacement. It’s the smartest way to modernise your home security.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home appear occupied to anyone watching. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your property—even if they are trying to hide their face or move stealthily. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This involves instant illumination from external lights and clear, authoritative voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to make criminals feel 'watched' and 'exposed,' forcing them to abandon their attempt and move on to an easier target.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Unlike many competitors who ship data to overseas servers, your footage and data are processed locally on your Intelligence Hub before being securely escalated to our UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours 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 accessible only by you through our secure app. By keeping everything within the UK—from our support teams to our servers—we provide a level of data sovereignty and security that international brands simply cannot match.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you who is at the door; scOS is a proactive intelligence system that protects your entire property. Doorbells have a limited field of view and often suffer from 'notification fatigue' due to false alarms from passers-by. scOS uses MotionX to monitor your entire property boundary, distinguishing between a delivery driver and someone scouting your home. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS prevents the thief from even stepping onto your driveway by using escalating voice and light deterrents. It provides 24/7 professional-grade recording and AI intelligence that a battery-powered doorbell simply cannot provide, offering true peace of mind for your whole home.

In a close-knit village like Esh Winning, you don't want your alarm going off every time a neighbour drops by. scOS uses behaviour-based Person Recognition to understand the difference between 'normal' activity and suspicious behaviour. It learns the patterns of your family and regular visitors, so it won't trigger an escalating response for a friendly face. However, if a stranger is loitering or acting suspiciously, the system identifies the anomaly and alerts you. This ensures your security is intelligent enough to respect the community feel of the Deerness Valley while remaining vigilant against genuine threats.

scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and that includes our support and installation teams. For residents in Esh Winning, this means you aren't dealing with a faceless international corporation. Our professional installers are UK-based experts who complete most setups in just 4-6 hours. If you ever have a question, you can speak to our UK support team who understand the local area and your specific needs. We pride ourselves on providing a 'local' service backed by world-class AI technology, ensuring you get the best of both worlds for your home security.

Absolutely. One of the most powerful features of scOS is the 'scOS Director'—a conversational AI that allows you to ask natural questions about your property. You can ask, 'Did anyone come to the door while I was at work?' or 'Was there any suspicious activity last night?' and get an instant, intelligent summary. It’s like having a security guard who has watched every second of your footage and can report back in plain English. For busy Esh Winning residents, this saves hours of scrolling through video and makes managing your home security as easy as having a conversation.
