Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, often leaving you with grainy footage of a masked intruder after the fact. scOS transforms this dynamic by using MotionX technology, which ignores irrelevant movement like wind-blown trees or pets to focus exclusively on 'important activity.' Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS understands your property boundaries automatically and provides an active response to threats. When a genuine intruder is detected, the system doesn't just watch; it intervenes with light and voice deterrents to stop the crime before it happens.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works seamlessly with most existing wired IP camera systems, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it can be integrated into the scOS Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade your home to a proactive AI security system without the expense of replacing all your current cameras, effectively turning 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, proactive security network.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your typical home activity and replicate it while you're away, making your home appear occupied to any scouts. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour—even if the person is crawling or wearing a mask—without the false alarms common in other systems. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers an Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings while instant illumination floods the area, forcing the intruder to flee before they reach your door.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. All data processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK data centres, ensuring we are fully GDPR compliant. Unlike many international brands, we never sell your data or allow it to be used for third-party marketing. You maintain total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already caused damage or stolen a package. scOS provides whole-property protection that stops crime before it reaches the front door. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, using AI to recognise suspicious patterns and intervene automatically. It’s the difference between having a record of a crime and preventing the crime from ever occurring.

For properties along the Grand Western Canal, scOS provides an essential layer of security. The AI is trained to ignore the normal movement of canal users and wildlife, only alerting you if someone crosses your specific property boundary or exhibits suspicious behaviour near your home.

Yes, scOS is ideal for rural Devon homes. Our MotionX technology is designed to work perfectly in all weather conditions and ignores the movement of livestock or pets, ensuring that you only receive alerts for genuine security threats.

scOS uses wired connections for all cameras, which are far more reliable than wireless systems in rural areas where WiFi signals can be weak or easily jammed. This ensures your security system remains online and effective 24/7, regardless of your local internet signal strength.
