Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which moves beyond simple motion detection. While standard systems are plagued by false alarms from wind, rain, or animals, MotionX ignores these entirely. It focuses only on 'important activity,' recognising human movement even if someone is trying to hide. Instead of just giving you footage of a burglary to show the police later, scOS identifies the threat the moment they step onto your property and initiates an immediate deterrent response.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with almost any existing wired IP camera system, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will assess your current hardware. We transform your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network by connecting them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes data locally before escalating it to our secure UK cloud. This means you don't need to rip out your existing infrastructure to benefit from world-class AI protection.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your typical internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you're away. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This starts with automatic light responses to illuminate the intruder, followed by escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. This intelligent response is designed to make intruders leave before they even attempt to enter.

At scOS, we take privacy as seriously as security. We are a 100% UK-based company, meaning all your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. Unlike many international brands, we never sell your data. Your video feeds are processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy, with only critical events escalated to our cloud. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. You can access your data from anywhere via our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already triggered a delayed sensor. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front porch, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens. A doorbell won't simulate your presence inside the house or deliver escalating voice deterrents. scOS provides a professional, wired-in solution that offers 24/7 recording and AI analysis that a simple doorbell camera cannot match.

Goxhill’s rural location can mean that police response times are longer than in urban areas. scOS acts as your immediate first line of defence. By detecting intruders at the boundary and using active deterrents like lights and voice warnings, the system often resolves the threat before it escalates. This 'self-defending' capability is essential for rural properties, providing peace of mind that your home is actively protecting itself even when help is miles away.

Yes, scOS is excellent for protecting outbuildings, which are often targets in rural areas. Because our AI auto-detects your property boundaries, it can monitor your entire plot, including detached garages, sheds, or workshops. If someone approaches these areas, the system will trigger the same escalating deterrents—lights and voice warnings—as it would for your main house. This ensures that your tools, equipment, and vehicles are just as well-protected as your home itself.

scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is a powerful tool for monitoring your property. The system identifies every vehicle that enters your driveway, checking registrations against the DVLA database to flag suspicious or cloned plates. You can even use scOS Director, our conversational AI, to ask, 'Has any unknown vehicle been here today?' and get an instant answer. This is particularly useful for Goxhill residents who want to keep track of who is visiting their property while they are out.
