Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime as it happens, often leaving you with nothing but footage of a masked intruder. scOS is a proactive guardian. Our system uses MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means it ignores swaying trees, spiders, or wind, focusing entirely on genuine threats. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS works out of the box, automatically detecting your property boundaries. It doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light and voice responses to stop an incident before your home is even touched.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your 'dumb' cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we transform them into a proactive AI security system. This allows you to upgrade your home's intelligence without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided your existing cameras are wired, as we prefer wired connections over jam-prone wireless setups.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it appear occupied even when you're away in Worcester or commuting. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they are moving or if they are attempting to conceal their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries, scOS triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to AI-generated voice warnings from external IoT speakers, designed to convince any intruder that they have been spotted by a live guard.

Your privacy is a cornerstone of our service. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Most of the intelligence is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub, only escalating to our secure cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell it to third parties. You have 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings from anywhere in the world, ensuring you are always in control of your Hallow property's security.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door—often when it's too late. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS uses proactive deterrents like presence simulation and voice warnings to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. It provides whole-property protection rather than just a narrow view of your front step, stopping crime before it happens rather than just recording it.

Hallow's position on the A443 makes it a prime location for 'opportunistic' crime from passing traffic. scOS combats this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies every car that enters your property's vicinity. If a vehicle is flagged as suspicious or has cloned plates, the system can alert you immediately. Furthermore, our MotionX technology is designed to ignore the heavy road traffic while staying laser-focused on anyone who actually steps onto your land, ensuring you only get alerts that matter.

West Mercia Police are proactive, but Hallow's village setting can mean they are minutes away when seconds count. scOS provides an immediate, autonomous response. The moment an intruder is detected, the system uses escalating voice warnings and lights to drive them away. This 'active' security often prevents the crime from ever occurring, meaning you won't have to wait for a police response to a break-in that was stopped before it started.

Yes, scOS is highly effective at protecting outbuildings and detached garages. Because the AI automatically detects your property boundaries, it treats your entire plot as a protected zone. If someone approaches your garage or shed, the system will trigger the same escalating response as it would for your front door. This is particularly useful for Hallow residents who may have expensive garden equipment or vehicles stored in outbuildings that are out of direct sight of the main house.
