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.

For Great Gransden residents who work in Cambridge or St Neots, Presence Simulation is an essential feature. scOS doesn't just use simple timers; it learns your actual internal activity patterns and replicates them while you're away. This means your lights, and even simulated movement sounds, appear completely natural to anyone watching the house. It’s the most effective way to make a burglar believe someone is home, ensuring they move on to an easier, unoccupied target.

Yes, scOS is highly effective at identifying suspicious behaviour, such as someone wearing a balaclava, mask, or hood to hide their identity. Our MotionX technology doesn't just look for movement; it recognises the human form and flags when someone is intentionally concealing their face. In a village like Great Gransden, where residents generally know their neighbours, this "Covered Face Detection" provides an immediate alert to a potential threat, allowing the system to trigger its escalating voice deterrents instantly.

We understand that many homes in Great Gransden are historic or have specific aesthetic requirements. Our professional UK installation team is experienced in discreetly fitting scOS hardware. We use wired connections for maximum security, but we take great care to hide cabling and ensure that the cameras and IoT speakers are positioned effectively without being an eyesore. The installation typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, and we handle everything from setup to showing you how to use the scOS Director AI.
