Traditional CCTV is a digital witness; it records your loss so you can watch it later. scOS is a digital bodyguard. Our MotionX technology is the core difference; unlike standard systems that trigger on any movement like spiders, wind, or shadows, MotionX identifies "important activity." It recognises people regardless of their shape or if they are trying to hide. Because it understands the context of your property, it doesn't need you to draw messy "motion zones." It works out of the box to provide zero false alarms, meaning when you get an alert, it actually matters. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts, providing a proactive response that passive systems simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them from "dumb" recording devices into proactive AI sensors. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes 4 to 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware. We prefer wired connections over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be defeated by the "WiFi jammers" increasingly used by modern burglars. By integrating your current cameras, you get elite AI protection without necessarily needing to replace all your hardware, making the upgrade to true home intelligence both sustainable and cost-effective.

scOS uses a three-layer proactive strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make the home look occupied when you're out, which is the best way to stop a burglar from even choosing your house. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious behaviour at the boundary of your property, even if the person is wearing a mask or hood. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just send a notification. It triggers external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates instant illumination. These escalating responses are designed to make the intruder realise they've been spotted by an intelligent system, forcing them to flee before they ever touch a door or window.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and escalated to our secure UK data centres when necessary. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible via our secure app from anywhere in the world. Because we use both local and cloud processing, you get the speed of local intelligence with the backup and accessibility of the cloud, all kept within British jurisdiction.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a package. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. More importantly, a doorbell is passive—it might record a crime, but it rarely stops one. scOS is designed to intervene. By detecting a trespasser the moment they step onto your driveway and using voice deterrents and light, scOS stops the crime from happening in the first place. It’s the difference between seeing a thief and making sure the thief never gets close.

In rural Leicestershire villages like Great Dalby, police response times can be longer than in urban centres. This is why scOS focuses on "Active Intervention." By using AI-driven voice warnings and automatic lighting, the system aims to resolve the threat immediately. Instead of waiting for a patrol car to arrive after a break-in has occurred, scOS works to ensure the intruder is scared off the moment they cross your property boundary, providing a vital first line of defence that doesn't rely on external response times.

Absolutely. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition feature is particularly useful for rural properties. It checks the registration of any vehicle entering your property against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a known history of suspicious activity is detected, scOS can alert you immediately and even trigger a pre-emptive voice warning. This is an essential tool for Great Dalby residents concerned about the rise in rural vehicle and machinery theft.

Yes. One of the most powerful features of scOS is the "scOS Director." You can ask natural questions like, "Has anyone been near the garage today?" or "What time did the delivery arrive?" The AI understands the context of your property and provides instant, conversational answers. This makes managing your security as simple as talking to a person, allowing you to stay informed about your Great Dalby home without scrolling through hours of empty footage.
