Most CCTV systems are passive; they record crime but don't prevent it. They also rely on 'motion masks' which lead to constant false alarms from shadows or insects. scOS uses MotionX, a revolutionary AI that focuses only on 'important activity.' It doesn't need you to draw boxes on a screen; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When it detects a person—even if they are trying to hide their face or change their shape—it takes action. It uses external speakers and lights to warn them off instantly. It’s an active deterrent, not just a recording device.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis. Our UK-based engineers can usually complete the installation in 4-6 hours, connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub. This 'brain' upgrade gives your old cameras new life, enabling advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and scOS Director (our conversational AI). We’ll assess your current setup during installation to ensure you’re getting the best possible coverage and proactive protection for your Great Abington home.

scOS uses a three-tier deterrent system. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look lived-in by mimicking your internal lighting patterns while you're away or at work in Granta Park. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders the moment they cross your property line, ignoring false triggers like pets or wind. Third, the system initiates Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver voice warnings and lights flash to signal that the intruder has been spotted. This immediate, intelligent response is designed to stop a criminal in their tracks before they can even attempt to enter your home.

We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data is yours and yours alone—we never sell it. Our system uses a combination of local processing (via the Intelligence Hub in your home) and cloud processing for the most advanced AI analysis. This ensures your security is fast, reliable, and private. You can access your 24/7 recordings from anywhere via our app, with up to two weeks of footage stored securely.

Video doorbells are limited; they only see what's directly in front of them and often only alert you when someone is already at the door. scOS monitors your entire property boundary, providing a much earlier warning. Doorbells are also frequently wireless, making them vulnerable to signal jammers. scOS uses professional wired connections for 100% reliability. Most importantly, scOS is proactive—it uses AI to detect and deter intruders with voice and light warnings automatically, whereas a doorbell is largely a passive tool that requires you to be watching your phone to react.

Great Abington’s proximity to Granta Park and Cambridge means many residents are away during the day. scOS is perfect for commuters because of our 'Presence Simulation' and 'scOS Director' features. While you're at work, the system makes your home look occupied. If you want an update, you can simply ask scOS Director, "Has anyone been to the house today?" or "Did the courier arrive?" in plain English. It’s like having a security guard you can talk to, giving you total peace of mind while you're away from home.

With property crime in Great Abington being a real concern, protecting your vehicles is vital. scOS includes DVLA vehicle recognition, which identifies every car that enters your driveway. It can distinguish between your family's cars and unknown vehicles. If a car with cloned plates or a vehicle associated with suspicious activity is detected, scOS can alert you immediately and even trigger deterrents to prevent a theft. This is a significant upgrade over standard cameras that just record a car driving away.

No. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to eliminate false alarms. It ignores animals, birds, swaying trees, and even spiders crawling across the lens. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour and vehicle movement. This means you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a fox in the garden. When scOS sends you an alert, you can be certain it’s something that actually requires your attention, making the system far more trustworthy than traditional motion-sensing CCTV.
