Traditional CCTV systems are passive—they record what happens but can't prevent crime. scOS is intelligent and active. While standard cameras sit idle, our AI engine continuously monitors every frame in real-time, learning your property's normal patterns and instantly detecting anomalies. When a threat is detected, scOS responds within seconds through multiple layers: Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied to deter burglars, MotionX tracking follows suspicious activity, and Active Intervention alerts our professional response team for immediate action. This three-tier defence means scOS stops crimes instead of just documenting them after they happen.

Yes. scOS works with most wired IP cameras already installed at your property. Our Intelligence Hub connects to your existing camera setup and adds AI-powered monitoring instantly. This means you don't need to replace working equipment—just upgrade what they do. If you have older analogue cameras, we can help you migrate to modern IP systems. During professional installation, our team will assess your current setup and integrate scOS seamlessly. Many Haringey homeowners appreciate this approach because it maximises their existing investment while dramatically improving security effectiveness.

scOS stops criminals through three distinct layers of protection. First, Presence Simulation automatically simulates occupancy when you're away—lights turn on and off in realistic patterns, creating the impression someone's home. This psychological deterrent stops opportunistic break-ins before they start. Second, MotionX tracking identifies any person crossing your property boundary and follows their movements, recognising escalating threat behaviour. Third, Active Intervention engages directly: if threats persist, our professional response team receives real-time alerts with live footage and can intervene immediately through sirens, lights, or direct contact. Combined, these layers create a comprehensive defence that makes your home an unattractive target for criminals.

Your footage and personal data never leave the UK. scOS stores everything in secure, UK-based data centres compliant with GDPR and all UK privacy regulations. Your Intelligence Hub performs local processing first—AI analysis happens on your device without sending raw video elsewhere. Only processed insights and alerts are sent to our secure cloud infrastructure. You maintain full data ownership and control: you can delete footage anytime, restrict access, and audit what's stored. This UK-first approach gives Haringey residents complete peace of mind that their privacy is protected under British law.

Video doorbells are reactive—they show you who's at your door, but by then the threat is already at your home. scOS is proactive. A doorbell can't monitor your garden, driveway, or side passages where most burglars operate. It can't detect threats before they reach your front door or stop them once detected. scOS covers your entire property with AI that recognises danger patterns and acts automatically—without needing you to be watching. While a doorbell might show you a burglar mid-break-in, scOS prevents the break-in entirely. For Haringey properties with gardens and multiple entry points, this comprehensive protection is essential.

We're honest about this: scOS requires an active internet connection for AI monitoring, threat detection, and our response team to help. However, your local Intelligence Hub continues recording video directly from your cameras, so no footage is lost. Once your internet reconnects, all recordings are synced and AI analysis resumes. For most Haringey residents, internet outages are rare and brief, but if reliability is critical for your situation, we recommend a backup connection plan. Our team can discuss options during installation—many customers find that peace of mind from active AI protection is worth the internet dependency.

Both options are available. If you're confident with technology, our Intelligence Hub is designed for self-setup with step-by-step guidance and online support. However, most Haringey customers choose professional installation: our technicians properly position cameras, configure your network, integrate existing equipment, and test everything thoroughly. Professional installation typically takes 2-3 hours and includes training on using scOS features. We recommend professional installation if you have multiple cameras, older property wiring, or want to ensure everything's optimised from day one.

From detection to response happens in seconds. Our AI engine continuously analyses camera feeds and identifies threats in near real-time. Once a threat is confirmed, the Intelligence Hub triggers Presence Simulation and MotionX tracking immediately—this is automatic and instant. If escalation warrants it, our professional response team receives alerts with live footage within 2-3 seconds. They can then contact you, contact authorities, or activate sirens and lights to deter the threat. This speed is critical in Haringey where every second matters during a break-in attempt.

scOS pricing is simple and transparent: just 63p per day per camera, with no hidden fees. A typical 4-camera Haringey home costs less than £2.50 daily for complete AI protection. This includes our Intelligence Hub, continuous AI monitoring, Presence Simulation, MotionX tracking, and access to our professional response team. Installation is separate (professional installation ranges depending on your setup), but ongoing protection is predictable. Many customers find this costs less than their old insurance premiums while providing vastly superior protection. We can provide an exact quote once we understand your property setup.

Yes. We've successfully installed scOS on period properties, listed buildings, and homes with architectural restrictions across London. Our installers understand the constraints of Haringey's varied housing stock and can position cameras discreetly—in soffits, guttering, or interior locations—without compromising your property's character. For listed buildings requiring planning permission, we advise customers during the consultation phase. Most of our Haringey installations are on Victorian terraces and period properties where discrete camera placement is essential. Discuss your property's specifics with our installation team during consultation.

Absolutely. Many Haringey flat owners use scOS to protect front doors, hallway entry points, and visible windows. The Intelligence Hub is discreet and can be installed in a cupboard or under stairs. For shared building entrances, some leaseholders coordinate with other residents for better coverage. scOS works equally well protecting apartments and houses. If you have restrictions on external camera placement, our installers can suggest internal options like window-mounted discrete cameras or positioning that doesn't require structural changes.
