Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your home being burgled, whereas scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent the crime from occurring. While standard systems rely on 'motion masks' that trigger frustrating false alarms for every passing cat or swaying branch, our proprietary MotionX technology focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It recognises human behaviour and intent without needing you to draw complex zones, effectively ignoring environmental noise like spiders or wind. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. By using AI-driven light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers, it challenges intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, providing a level of active protection that old-fashioned cameras simply cannot match.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI-powered security network. We support most professional-grade wired IP cameras from leading manufacturers such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes between 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX AI and proactive deterrent features to your current setup, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement while vastly upgrading your home's intelligence and security capabilities.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your home safe. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your typical internal lighting and activity patterns, mimicking them perfectly when you're away to make the house appear occupied. If a prowler is undeterred and approaches the property, our MotionX detection takes over. Unlike basic sensors, it recognises people regardless of whether they are crouching, running, or attempting to cover their faces. The final layer is Active Intervention: as a threat is detected crossing your auto-detected property boundary, the system triggers instant illumination and escalating voice warnings via external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response signals to the criminal that they have been spotted by a proactive system, usually causing them to flee before they even reach your door.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy by design' approach to your security. Your data is processed using a hybrid model: our local Intelligence Hub handles the immediate AI analysis on-site, while more complex tasks are escalated to our secure UK-based cloud servers. We are 100% UK-based, from our support teams to our data centres, ensuring full compliance with GDPR and UK data protection laws. Crucially, your footage and data belong entirely to you; we never sell user data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app, giving you peace of mind that your privacy is as protected as your property.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door, but it rarely stops a determined criminal from breaking in elsewhere. scOS provides comprehensive whole-property protection that starts at your boundaries, not your front door. While doorbells often suffer from lag and limited fields of view, scOS uses professional-grade wired cameras that cannot be jammed like wireless alternatives. Our system identifies threats before they reach the house, using proactive AI to intervene and deter. While a doorbell might give you a video of a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief from even stepping onto your driveway, making it a complete security solution rather than just a convenience tool.

With Fishburn's property crime rate being a concern for many residents, scOS offers a powerful tool in Covered Face Detection. Modern burglars often use hoodies, masks, or balaclavas to evade traditional CCTV. However, our MotionX AI is trained to recognise the human form and suspicious behaviour regardless of clothing. If the system detects someone on your property with their face concealed, it immediately flags this as a high-priority threat, triggering an escalating response of lights and voice warnings to let the intruder know their presence is known and recorded.

Many homes in Fishburn have detached garages or workshops that are prime targets for theft. scOS provides total property coverage by auto-detecting all boundaries, including those around outbuildings. Our Intelligence Hub can manage multiple camera feeds to ensure that your garage is just as protected as your front door. If someone attempts to tamper with a garage door or prowls in the shadows behind your home, scOS will detect the 'important activity' and intervene with voice deterrents before any damage is done.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system as if you were talking to a human guard. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' or 'Did a delivery arrive at 2 PM?' The system will instantly provide the answer and show you the relevant clips. This makes managing your home security in Fishburn incredibly simple, allowing you to stay informed about your property's safety without any technical hassle.
