Traditional CCTV is a passive observer, merely recording a crime while it happens. scOS is a proactive guardian that uses our proprietary MotionX technology to understand context, not just movement. While older systems might bombard you with false alerts caused by the wind in the trees or a stray cat, MotionX ignores the noise and focuses on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or if they attempt to conceal their identity, and because it understands your property boundaries automatically, there is no need for you to set up complex motion masks. When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just watch; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder in their tracks.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can typically transform your existing 'dumb' wired IP cameras into a sophisticated, AI-powered security network. During our professional UK installation—which usually takes between 4 and 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware. We are compatible with most major brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. By connecting your cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub, we apply our advanced MotionX algorithms and proactive deterrents to your current setup. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI intelligence without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided your existing cameras meet the necessary technical standards for wired connectivity.

scOS employs a powerful three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals before they reach your door. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your internal activity patterns and replicate them when you are away, making your home appear occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour with incredible precision, even if a criminal is wearing a mask or hood. Once a threat is confirmed within your property boundaries, the third layer—Active Intervention—is triggered. This involves instant illumination from external lights and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. This combination of appearing occupied and providing an immediate, intelligent response makes your home an unattractive target for any would-be intruder.

Your privacy is paramount, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based company. All your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is managed in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many other security providers, we never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the AI analysis locally on your property for maximum speed and privacy. Data is only escalated to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced processing or to allow you to access your footage remotely. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you someone is at your door, but often only after they have already arrived. scOS provides comprehensive property intelligence that covers your entire home, not just the front entrance. While a doorbell might record a parcel being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the theft from happening in the first place. By using MotionX to detect prowlers at your boundary and employing proactive deterrents like Simulation and voice warnings, scOS stops crime before it occurs. Furthermore, scOS is a professionally installed, wired system, offering far greater reliability and security than battery-powered doorbells which can be prone to signal jamming or lag.

Fillongley's position at a crossroads between Coventry and Solihull makes it a high-traffic area for both residents and those passing through. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition is essential here. It doesn't just record cars; it checks their registrations against the DVLA database in real-time. If a vehicle known for suspicious activity or one with cloned plates enters your property, scOS can alert you immediately. This proactive approach is vital for homes in a high-crime area, allowing you to stay one step ahead of potential threats.

Given the higher property crime rate in Fillongley, scOS's escalating response is a critical feature. If someone enters your property boundary, the system doesn't just send a notification; it takes action. It starts with a polite but firm voice warning and lights. If the intruder persists or moves closer to the house, the warnings become more assertive and the lighting intensifies. This immediate, local intervention is designed to convince even the most determined criminal that your home is too well-protected to target.

In a high-crime area, you need to know exactly what's happening without being overwhelmed by false alerts. scOS's MotionX technology is revolutionary because it focuses on 'important activity.' It ignores the common triggers of false alarms—like wind, spiders, or passing traffic on the main road—and only alerts you when a person is actually on your property. This means that when your phone pings, you know it's something that requires your attention, providing clarity and reducing the anxiety that often comes with traditional security systems.
