Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses our proprietary MotionX technology to understand what it is seeing in real-time. Unlike standard systems that trigger alerts for every swaying branch or passing cat, MotionX ignores 'noise' and focuses exclusively on important activity. It recognises people regardless of their movement or if they are trying to hide their figure. Because it understands the difference between a delivery driver and a loiterer, it can trigger automatic interventions—like lights and voice warnings—to stop a crime before it happens, all with zero false alarms.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with the vast majority of professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub, instantly transforming your 'dumb' cameras into an AI-powered security network. This allows you to upgrade your home intelligence without the cost of replacing every camera, though we always recommend wired connections over wireless to ensure the system cannot be jammed by sophisticated intruders.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces immediately as they approach your property boundaries. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, the system triggers escalating responses. This starts with instant illumination from external lights and progresses to clear, AI-driven voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By detecting the threat at the boundary and responding automatically, scOS convinces the intruder that the home is occupied and monitored, forcing them to move on.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your data is stored in secure UK data centres and we are fully GDPR compliant. The system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles initial detection locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when advanced AI analysis or remote access is required. Your footage and data belong to you; we never sell user 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.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front path, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, including side gates and rear gardens. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime, not just record it. While a doorbell might send a notification to your phone while you're busy, scOS automatically intervenes with lights and voice deterrents the moment a threat is identified. It is the difference between a doorbell and a digital security guard.

Groby's location near the A50 and M1 makes it a convenient spot for residents, but it also provides easy 'in-and-out' access for criminals from outside the area. scOS counters this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition. Our system automatically logs the registration plates of every vehicle that enters your driveway. It checks these against the DVLA database to identify the make and model, helping to spot cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. If an unrecognised car pulls onto your drive at night, scOS can immediately activate external lighting and alert you, ensuring that 'drive-in' burglars are deterred before they even step out of their vehicle.

Leicestershire Police, like many forces, are stretched thin, and a standard burglar alarm often doesn't get a rapid response. scOS is different because it provides 'Active Intervention'. Instead of waiting for a break-in to occur, scOS uses its Intelligence Hub to detect intruders at your property boundary. It then uses external IoT speakers to deliver clear voice warnings, such as 'You are being monitored, please leave the area.' This immediate, local response is incredibly effective at stopping crime in its tracks, as criminals prefer easy targets where they aren't being actively challenged by an AI-driven system.

scOS is designed to be a 'set and forget' system. During our professional installation in Groby, we set up the Intelligence Hub to automatically detect your property boundaries. There are no complex 'zones' for you to draw or 'sensitivity' sliders to adjust. Our MotionX technology is pre-trained to understand human behaviour, so it works perfectly right out of the box. Whether you're tech-savvy or prefer things simple, you can manage your entire system through a single, intuitive app, or simply ask our scOS Director AI for updates in plain English.
