Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which moves beyond simple motion detection that triggers for every spider or gust of wind. MotionX understands 'important activity,' recognising people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their figure. While standard systems wait for you to check an app, scOS intervenes automatically. It detects property boundaries without you needing to draw lines, and if a threat is detected, it uses escalating responses—from instant lighting to AI-driven voice warnings from external speakers—to stop the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes data locally before escalating to the cloud, giving your old cameras the power of MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive AI responses without the need for a total hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence that begins before a criminal even touches your property. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal lighting and activity patterns to make the house appear occupied when you're away, which is the most effective way to stop a burglary from being planned. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour and covered faces with zero false alarms. Finally, if an intruder persists, scOS initiates an Active Intervention. This isn't just a siren; it’s a smart response where external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings and lights illuminate the area, letting the intruder know they have been specifically identified.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Unlike many competitors who ship data to overseas servers, all our data centres are located right here in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your footage remains your property—we never sell or share your data. The system uses a hybrid approach: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes video locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for advanced AI analysis and 24/7 recording storage. You have total control over your data through the scOS app, where you can access up to two weeks of recorded history from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they’ve already pressed it or triggered a laggy notification. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front porch, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from back gardens to side alleys. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens. A doorbell won't simulate your presence inside the house or deliver an escalating voice warning to a trespasser in your garden. scOS provides professional-grade, wired reliability that can't be jammed like wireless doorbells, ensuring your Harleston home is protected 24/7.

Rural market towns like Harleston can be vulnerable to 'outbuilding' crime, where sheds and barns are targeted for equipment. scOS is perfect for this because it doesn't just monitor your front door; it creates an intelligent perimeter around your entire property. Our MotionX technology can distinguish between a fox moving through the yard and a person trying to force a lock. If a threat is detected near an outbuilding, the system can trigger an immediate voice deterrent from an external IoT speaker, often stopping the theft before any damage is done.

Norfolk Constabulary often deals with wide geographic areas, meaning response times can be a factor in rural locations. scOS provides the immediate, automated response that bridges that gap. By issuing an escalating series of warnings—from lights to AI voice deterrents—scOS often resolves the situation without the need for police intervention. If you do need to involve the authorities, scOS provides high-definition, 24/7 recorded evidence that is stored securely in our UK cloud, giving the police the clear information they need to act.

Yes, scOS is designed to be as easy to use as talking to a friend. Our scOS Director is a conversational AI that allows you to ask natural questions about your property. You can ask, 'Did the delivery arrive today?' or 'Has there been any suspicious activity near the back gate?' and the system will give you a clear, spoken or text-based answer. This makes managing your home security simple, even if you aren't particularly tech-savvy, providing professional-grade protection with a very user-friendly interface.
