Most CCTV systems are 'dumb'—they record everything but understand nothing, leading to a barrage of false alerts from shadows or pets. scOS is different because it uses MotionX, an AI that has been trained to identify 'important activity' only. It ignores the wind in the trees or a cat crossing the lawn, focusing exclusively on human threats. Furthermore, scOS is proactive. While your current system might show you a video of a burglary after it happened, scOS uses external speakers and lights to intervene and stop the intruder the moment they cross your boundary.

In many cases, yes. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most wired IP camera systems, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink. By connecting your existing cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub, we can transform your passive recording setup into a proactive AI security system. During our professional installation process in Handsacre and Armitage, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it meets the technical requirements for our MotionX and vehicle recognition features, saving you the cost of a completely new camera array.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to deterrence. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic your internal lighting and activity patterns while you're away, making your home look occupied. If someone does step onto your property, our MotionX AI identifies them instantly—even if they are wearing a mask or hood. The final layer is Active Intervention: the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and switches on bright lights. This immediate response tells the intruder that they are being monitored by an intelligent system, which is usually enough to make them leave immediately.

We are a 100% UK-based company, and your data privacy is our top priority. All footage and data are stored in secure UK-based data centres and are fully GDPR compliant. We never sell your data to third parties. scOS uses a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub on your property handles the initial AI analysis, and our secure UK cloud is used for more intensive processing and remote access. This ensures your data stays private while giving you the benefit of world-class AI intelligence.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers your front door. It might tell you a package has been stolen, but it won't stop a burglar from entering through a side window or the back garden. scOS provides 360-degree protection for your entire property. It uses AI to detect threats at the boundary and intervenes with voice deterrents and lights before a crime can be committed. For residents in Handsacre and Armitage, scOS offers a complete security solution that far exceeds the limited capabilities of a simple doorbell camera.

Handsacre and Armitage is a beautiful, low-crime area, but this can often lead to complacency. Criminals often target quiet villages specifically because they expect security to be lax. scOS ensures you are never a 'soft target.' Our Presence Simulation keeps your home looking active even when you're out for dinner in Lichfield or away on holiday, while our MotionX AI remains vigilant 24/7. By installing scOS, you are maintaining the safety of your community and ensuring your home remains a sanctuary.

For homes near the Trent and Mersey Canal, unique security challenges can arise from increased foot traffic along the towpaths. scOS features Automatic Property Boundary Detection, which allows the AI to learn exactly where your garden ends and the public canal path begins. This means you won't get false alarms from walkers or boaters, but the moment someone steps off the path and onto your land, the system will trigger its escalating response, protecting your privacy and your property.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that makes managing your security as easy as having a chat. You can ask questions like, 'Director, was there any unusual activity last night?' or 'Did the gardener come today?' The AI understands natural language and can quickly scan your home's activity patterns to give you an answer. This is much more efficient than manually checking hours of footage and gives you instant peace of mind about the status of your Handsacre home.
