Traditional CCTV is passive; it records footage that you might only look at after a crime has been committed. In a village like Gayton, you need a system that prevents the crime from happening in the first place. scOS is a proactive intelligence system powered by MotionX. Unlike standard motion detection that triggers for every passing bird or swaying branch, MotionX identifies 'important activity'—specifically human threats. It automatically detects your property boundaries without needing manual 'zones.' When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes. Using integrated lights and external IoT speakers, it delivers voice warnings that let intruders know they are being watched, stopping them in their tracks before they can cause any damage.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If your Gayton home already has a wired camera setup, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with it, upgrading your 'dumb' cameras into a smart, proactive system. During our professional UK-based installation (which takes 4-6 hours), our engineers will assess your current hardware. We prioritise wired connections over wireless because they are more secure and cannot be jammed. This allows you to benefit from scOS features like presence simulation and DVLA vehicle recognition using your existing infrastructure.

scOS employs a three-tier deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your natural home activity and replicates it when you're away, making your Gayton property look occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies human threats with incredible accuracy, ignoring animals and weather. Third is Active Intervention: if someone crosses your boundary, scOS triggers instant lighting and escalating voice warnings via external IoT speakers. These warnings are AI-driven and designed to let the intruder know they have been identified. This combination of looking occupied and providing an immediate, vocal response is the most effective way to deter criminals before they attempt a break-in.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We use a hybrid 'Local + Cloud' processing model. The scOS Intelligence Hub in your home processes most data locally for speed and privacy. Data is only sent to our secure UK cloud when advanced AI analysis is needed or when you want to access your system remotely. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, ensuring your home security remains private and secure.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door, but many rural Norfolk properties have multiple entry points. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary. While a doorbell is reactive—showing you who is there after they've rung the bell—scOS is proactive, detecting and deterring threats before they even reach your house. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and can be unreliable; scOS uses a robust, wired Intelligence Hub for 24/7 recording and instant AI response. It’s the difference between a simple camera and a comprehensive, AI-driven security guard for your entire property.

Rural Norfolk is unfortunately a target for vehicle and agricultural machinery theft. scOS features DVLA-linked vehicle recognition that identifies every vehicle entering your property. It checks registrations against the national database to flag cloned plates or suspicious vehicles. If an unrecognised vehicle enters your driveway at an unusual time, scOS can alert you immediately and even initiate a voice deterrent. This is a powerful tool for Gayton residents to prevent 'casing' and stop vehicle theft before it happens, providing an extra layer of security for your cars and equipment.

Absolutely. One of the standout features of scOS is 'Covered Face Detection.' Our MotionX AI doesn't just look at faces; it recognises human forms and suspicious behaviour. If someone enters your property wearing a mask, balaclava, or hood to hide their identity, scOS identifies this as a high-priority threat. This immediately triggers an escalating response, such as turning on all external lights and delivering a firm voice warning through the IoT speakers. This ensures that even if an intruder tries to hide their face, they cannot hide from the system's proactive deterrents.

scOS is designed to be incredibly intuitive. You don't need to be a tech expert to use it. Our 'scOS Director' is a conversational AI that you can interact with using natural language. You can ask questions like, 'Director, was there any activity near the garage last night?' or 'Did the gardener arrive today?' and get an instant, intelligent summary. There are no complex settings to manage; the AI handles the boundary detection and threat assessment automatically. You get total peace of mind through a simple, easy-to-use app on your phone.
