Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your Fordham home being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that monitors your property in real-time. At its core is MotionX, our revolutionary activity detection technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on 'motion masks' and are constantly triggered by wind or pets, MotionX focuses only on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their figure, resulting in zero false alarms. When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record; it intervenes automatically with lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder before they reach your door. It transforms your security from a witness into a digital security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you already have a wired IP camera system installed at your Fordham property—whether it's Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti—we can usually transform those 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent scOS-powered network. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your current cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX AI and proactive deterrent features to your existing setup. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI intelligence without the need to replace every piece of hardware, provided your current cameras meet the necessary technical standards for high-quality video feed.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deter criminals before they even attempt a break-in. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making your Fordham home appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour and recognises people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers Active Intervention. This isn't just a silent alert; the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver AI-generated voice warnings and activates instant illumination. This escalating response makes it clear to the criminal that they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub processes data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to the cloud when necessary for advanced AI analysis or remote access. You maintain total control over your footage, and we never sell your data to third parties. Your security footage is for your eyes only, accessible anywhere in the world via our secure app, with up to two weeks of 24/7 recording stored safely.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your front door, often after they've already pressed the button or attempted a break-in. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, including side paths and back gardens. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell might give you a video of a package thief, scOS's proactive deterrents—like voice warnings and presence simulation—prevent the thief from approaching in the first place. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a comprehensive, AI-driven security team protecting your entire Fordham home.

Fordham's proximity to major routes like the A14 can make it a target for vehicle-related crime. scOS features integrated DVLA Vehicle Recognition. Our AI doesn't just see a car; it reads the registration and checks it against the DVLA database. This allows the system to identify suspicious vehicles or cloned plates that may be scouting the area. If an unrecognised vehicle lingers near your property or matches a pattern of suspicious behaviour, scOS Director can alert you immediately, providing a level of detail that standard CCTV simply cannot match.

Absolutely. scOS is built for the British climate and the specific needs of Cambridgeshire villages. Our MotionX technology is specifically tuned to ignore the common causes of false alarms in rural settings, such as swaying trees, wind-blown debris, or local wildlife like foxes and owls. Because MotionX focuses on 'important activity'—specifically human patterns and behaviour—you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a false notification. You only get alerted when there is a genuine reason for concern on your property.

scOS is designed to work seamlessly with the Cambridgeshire Constabulary. By providing high-definition, 24/7 recording and intelligent activity logs, you can provide the police with clear, actionable evidence if an incident occurs. Our 'Covered Face Detection' is particularly useful, as it flags individuals attempting to hide their identity. Furthermore, because scOS proactively deters criminals, it often prevents the crime from being completed, reducing the burden on local police and ensuring your Fordham home remains a hard target for opportunistic thieves.
