Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch the footage later, which rarely leads to a conviction. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses our proprietary MotionX technology to understand what is happening in real-time. Unlike standard systems that trigger on every swaying branch or passing cat, MotionX ignores the noise and focuses only on 'important activity,' such as a person approaching your property. Because it understands context, it can trigger automatic interventions—like activating lights or voice warnings—to stop a crime before it happens. There are no complex motion masks to draw; the AI auto-detects your property boundaries and starts protecting you the moment it is installed, ensuring zero false alarms and total peace of mind.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our advanced AI layers—like DVLA vehicle recognition and person detection—without you needing to replace your entire infrastructure. This makes upgrading to scOS both cost-effective and environmentally friendly, as you are enhancing your current security investment with world-class AI capabilities.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal reaches your door. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them inside when you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour regardless of whether a person is wearing a mask or trying to hide their figure. Finally, if an intruder persists, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This isn't just a notification on your phone; the system automatically triggers external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and illuminates the area with instant light responses. This escalating response is designed to make the intruder feel watched and exposed, forcing them to abandon their attempt and move on.

At scOS, we believe your security data should be as private as your home. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. All your video data and AI processing are handled with the highest level of security in UK-based data centres, fully compliant with GDPR regulations. We use a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub in your home handles local tasks, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. Your data is never sold or shared with third parties; it remains entirely under your control. You can access up to two weeks of 24/7 recording from anywhere in the world, knowing that your privacy is protected by British law.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system designed to stop crime before it reaches the door. While a doorbell has a limited field of view and often relies on unreliable battery power or Wi-Fi, scOS uses wired connections that cannot be jammed and monitors your entire property boundary. Our AI detects threats at the edge of your land, triggering deterrents before a criminal even touches your property. While a doorbell might give you a video of a package being stolen, scOS prevents the thief from stepping onto your driveway in the first place, providing true proactive protection rather than just evidence.

Fittleworth's location in the South Downs National Park means you likely have a lot of local wildlife visiting your garden. Traditional motion-sensing cameras would trigger constantly, leading to 'notification fatigue.' scOS uses MotionX, which is trained to ignore animals and environmental movement. It only alerts you to 'important activity'—specifically human presence and vehicle movement. This means you can enjoy the nature around your Fittleworth home without your security system crying wolf every time a deer crosses the lawn.

In rural areas like Fittleworth, police response times can be longer than in urban centres. This makes scOS's 'Active Intervention' even more critical. By using voice deterrents and automatic lighting, the system works to drive an intruder away immediately, rather than just recording them for a later investigation. The goal is to make your property so 'difficult' and 'loud' that the criminal leaves before they can do any damage, providing you with a self-sufficient security layer that doesn't rely solely on an immediate police presence.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security using natural language. If you're out for a walk in the South Downs, you can simply message the Director and ask, 'Is everything okay at home?' or 'Has anyone been to the back door?' The AI will scan the recent activity and give you a concise summary. It's a much more intuitive way to stay informed than scrolling through hours of empty video footage, making it perfect for the relaxed Fittleworth lifestyle.
