Traditional CCTV is purely passive—it records video that you review after a crime has occurred. scOS is active and intelligent. Our AI continuously monitors for threats, detecting suspicious behavior in real-time. The moment scOS identifies a potential break-in, MotionX activates to startle intruders with dynamic lighting and sounds, and our team can intervene within seconds. You're not just capturing evidence; you're actively stopping crimes before they happen. This shift from passive recording to intelligent prevention is what makes scOS fundamentally different.

Yes. scOS works with most wired IP cameras already installed in your home. Our Intelligence Hub connects to your existing camera infrastructure and adds the AI layer you've been missing. If you don't have cameras yet, we recommend our partner systems, but compatibility isn't an issue. Our professional installation team can assess your setup and integrate scOS seamlessly, or if you're technically confident, you can self-install. Either way, scOS transforms your existing hardware into an intelligent security system.

scOS uses three layers of protection. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied even when you're away—lights and sounds activate randomly to suggest activity. Second, MotionX detects intruders and triggers an immediate response: flashing lights, loud alerts, and recorded warnings that startle criminals into leaving. Third, when MotionX is triggered, our monitoring team is alerted and can intervene within seconds—communicating with the intruder through external speakers to confirm help is on the way. Criminals target homes that appear empty and unprotected. scOS eliminates both vulnerabilities.

Your footage and data are stored in UK data centres, ensuring full GDPR compliance and data sovereignty. We never share your information with third parties. The scOS Intelligence Hub processes most analysis locally at your property, minimizing cloud dependency and protecting your privacy. When cloud processing is used, it's encrypted and handled exclusively on UK infrastructure. You have complete control over your security system and the data it generates.

A video doorbell shows you who's at your door—after they've already arrived. scOS stops threats before they reach your door. While doorbells are reactive, scOS is preventative. It monitors your entire property perimeter, not just entry points, detects suspicious movement patterns, and intervenes automatically. Doorbells rely on you being home and watching; scOS works 24/7 whether you're present or away. For comprehensive home protection, especially in high-crime areas like Hammersmith and Fulham, a doorbell is just one piece of the puzzle—scOS is the complete solution.

scOS requires an internet connection to deliver AI-powered threat detection and real-time response. If your connection drops, your cameras will continue local recording, but the intelligent features that make scOS unique—MotionX detection, Presence Simulation, and rapid team intervention—won't function until connectivity is restored. For most households, this is a rare occurrence, and we recommend a stable broadband connection as a prerequisite. In areas with unreliable internet, we can discuss alternatives.

scOS detects and responds in seconds. When MotionX identifies suspicious activity, automated lighting and audio responses trigger immediately—designed to startle intruders and give them a reason to leave. Simultaneously, our monitoring team is alerted and can intervene through external speakers within seconds to communicate directly with the intruder. This speed is critical: most burglaries are interrupted when criminals realize a property is actively monitored and defended. Traditional CCTV can't match this response time because it's not intelligent enough to detect threats in real-time.

Professional installation is available and recommended for most homes, especially if you want full integration with existing systems and optimal camera placement. Our certified installers ensure everything is configured correctly and takes advantage of all scOS features. However, if you're technically confident with smart home technology, self-setup is possible—you'll install the Intelligence Hub, connect cameras, and configure the system through our app. Most people prefer professional installation for peace of mind and to ensure maximum coverage.

scOS pricing is transparent and scales with your needs. You pay per camera from 63p per day—that's roughly £19-23 per camera per month depending on the tier. The Intelligence Hub is a one-time cost. So whether you protect 2 cameras or 8 cameras, you know exactly what you'll pay. No hidden fees, no charges based on property size, just straightforward per-camera pricing. For Hammersmith and Fulham residents, where crime rates are 58% above average, the cost of scOS is a fraction of what a single burglary could cost.

Hammersmith and Fulham has a crime rate of 144.68 per 1,000 residents—58% higher than the national average of 91.74. Property crime is a particular concern. This is exactly where scOS excels: in high-crime urban areas where passive CCTV isn't enough. scOS transforms your home into an actively defended property that criminals avoid. Residents in high-crime boroughs benefit most from intelligent deterrence and rapid response capabilities. If you live in Hammersmith and Fulham, you need more than cameras—you need AI-powered protection that stops crimes before they happen.
