Standard CCTV is a passive tool that only records events as they happen, often leaving you with nothing but footage of a crime after the fact. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that aims to prevent crime entirely. Our system uses MotionX technology, which is a revolutionary leap over standard motion detection. Instead of being triggered by every passing car on the A14 or a fox in the garden, MotionX identifies 'important activity'—specifically human presence. It requires no motion masks or tripwires; it understands your property boundaries automatically. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it reacts with automatic light responses and voice deterrents to warn off intruders, providing a level of active protection that traditional systems simply can't offer.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can integrate with most existing wired IP camera systems, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. Our professional UK-based installation team can usually complete the setup in 4 to 6 hours, during which they will assess your current cameras and connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub breathes AI life into your 'dumb' cameras, enabling features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection. For Great Blakenham residents, this means you can upgrade to world-class AI security without the expense and hassle of replacing your entire existing setup, making it a smart and sustainable choice for home protection.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to deterrence that starts long before a criminal reaches your door. The first line of defence is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic your daily activity patterns inside the house, making it look occupied even when you're commuting or away for the weekend. If someone does approach, our MotionX technology identifies them instantly, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. The system then triggers an escalating response: first, automatic light responses to illuminate the area, followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive intervention is designed to convince any intruder that they have been spotted and that the home is actively guarded, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is a core priority for us. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres and support teams are located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours and is never sold to third parties. Our system uses a combination of local and cloud processing; the Intelligence Hub on your property handles the immediate AI analysis for maximum speed and privacy, while the cloud is used for secure remote access and escalating alerts. You have full control over your footage, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure platform.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers a tiny fraction of your property. In a village like Great Blakenham, where homes often have driveways and side access, a doorbell is easily bypassed. scOS provides comprehensive, 360-degree intelligence for your entire property. While a doorbell tells you someone is at the door, scOS uses DVLA vehicle recognition to identify suspicious cars and MotionX to detect intruders in your garden or near your garage. Crucially, scOS is proactive; it uses lights and voice deterrents to stop a crime before it happens, whereas a doorbell typically only alerts you once the person is already standing on your threshold.

Great Blakenham's proximity to the A14 makes it accessible for criminals who use the major road network to move quickly between towns. scOS addresses this with integrated DVLA vehicle recognition. Our AI scans the registration plates of vehicles entering your property and checks them against the DVLA database to identify cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. This provides an essential early warning system, alerting you to potential threats before they even step out of their car. It’s an ideal solution for residents concerned about the 'commuter' nature of modern opportunistic crime.

Many Great Blakenham residents commute to Ipswich or London, leaving their homes empty during the day. scOS is specifically designed for this lifestyle. Our Presence Simulation doesn't just turn lights on and off on a timer; it learns your actual habits—like which rooms you use and when—and replicates them realistically. This makes your home look truly lived-in, which is the most effective way to deter burglars who are scouting for empty properties. Combined with 24/7 remote access and natural-language queries via scOS Director, you can check on your home from the office as easily as if you were talking to a neighbour.

Suffolk Constabulary does an excellent job, but rural and semi-rural areas can sometimes experience longer response times than urban centres. scOS acts as your home's own private security force. By providing immediate, autonomous intervention through lights and voice deterrents, the system can resolve a threat in seconds—long before a police car could even be dispatched. This immediate response is crucial for preventing theft and damage. Furthermore, because scOS records in high definition 24/7 and uses AI to identify specific behaviours, you are provided with high-quality evidence that is far more useful to the police than standard, grainy CCTV footage.
