scOS is a revolutionary shift from traditional CCTV. While standard systems merely record footage for you to review after a crime has occurred, scOS is designed to prevent the crime from happening. The system is powered by MotionX, our advanced activity detection engine that ignores 'noise' like wind, rain, or animals, and focuses exclusively on important human activity. Unlike traditional systems that require you to set up complex motion masks, scOS works out of the box, automatically detecting your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, the system doesn't just watch; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop intruders in their tracks. It’s proactive intelligence for your Gotham home.

Yes, scOS is highly flexible and brand agnostic. It is designed to work with most existing wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional installation—which usually takes between 4 and 6 hours—our UK-based engineers will integrate your current cameras into the scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub provides the local processing power needed to turn your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, proactive security network. This means you can benefit from our advanced AI and deterrent features without needing to invest in an entirely new set of camera hardware, making the upgrade to scOS both efficient and cost-effective.

scOS uses a three-tiered approach to deterrence. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity inside your home—such as turning lights on and off in natural patterns—to make it look occupied even when you're away. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies intruders at the boundary of your property, even if they are attempting to hide their face or silhouette. The final layer is Active Intervention: if a threat persists, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver authoritative voice warnings and switches on high-intensity lighting. This escalating response removes the intruder's anonymity and forces them to abandon their attempt before they reach your home.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We use a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub in your home handles local AI tasks, and only necessary data is sent to our GDPR-compliant cloud for storage and remote access. We never sell your data to third parties, and you remain in full control of your footage at all times. Our system records 24/7 and stores up to two weeks of history, ensuring you have access to everything you need while maintaining the highest standards of data security and privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it shows you who is at your door, but often only after they have already arrived or committed an act like parcel theft. scOS is a proactive, whole-property intelligence system. It monitors your entire boundary, detecting suspicious activity long before someone reaches your front door. While doorbells are often wireless and susceptible to signal jamming, scOS uses professional wired connections for maximum reliability. With advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS provides a comprehensive security shield that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot match. It’s the difference between seeing a crime and stopping one.

Gotham’s location near East Midlands Airport and major transport links can unfortunately attract 'out of town' criminals looking for quiet targets. scOS addresses this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which scans the registration plates of vehicles approaching your property and checks them against the national database. If a vehicle is identified as having cloned plates or is linked to suspicious activity, scOS alerts you immediately. This feature is particularly useful for residents in the Nottinghamshire Police area, providing an early warning system against professional thieves who may be scouting the village for high-value targets.

Absolutely. Gotham is a rural village where many properties have significant gardens or detached garages. scOS uses AI to automatically detect your property boundaries, ensuring that your entire plot is protected, not just the main house. If the system detects a person approaching an outbuilding or crossing a fence line at an unusual time, it can trigger an immediate light response or voice warning. Because MotionX ignores animals and wind-blown foliage, you won't be bothered by false alarms, but you will have the peace of mind that your entire property is being actively monitored by intelligent AI.

While Gotham has a lower property crime rate than the national average, it's important not to become complacent. Professional criminals often target quieter villages precisely because they expect lower levels of security. scOS ensures you aren't the 'unlucky' house on the street. By using Presence Simulation to make your home look occupied and MotionX to detect threats early, you create a formidable deterrent that most burglars will simply choose to avoid. scOS provides a level of proactive protection that keeps your home safe, maintaining the peace and security that Gotham residents value.
