Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your home being burgled, whereas scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent the crime from happening. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour—with zero false alarms. Instead of just watching, scOS intervenes automatically using light and voice deterrents the moment a boundary is breached, providing a level of security that old-fashioned cameras simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI-driven network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub, allowing you to upgrade your security without the cost of replacing every camera.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First, our Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied even when you're away by mimicking natural human activity patterns inside the house. Second, our MotionX technology identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your property, even if they are wearing a mask or trying to hide. Finally, the system initiates an escalating response: if a threat is detected, external IoT speakers deliver AI voice warnings and lights illuminate the area, making it clear to the intruder that they have been spotted and the police are being notified.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. All data is processed through our UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant, ensuring your footage remains your property and is never sold to third parties. We use a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub handles immediate analysis locally on your property before escalating critical events to our secure UK cloud, giving you 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell only tells you who is at your front door, often after they've already pressed it; scOS protects your entire property boundary. While doorbells are easily bypassed or covered, scOS uses professional-grade wired cameras that cannot be jammed and monitors every angle of your home. It doesn't just show you a crime in progress—it uses AI to stop the intruder before they ever reach your door, providing a comprehensive shield that a single doorbell camera simply cannot provide.

Heathfield is a safe place to live, but low crime rates can lead to complacency, which opportunistic burglars exploit. scOS ensures you are never a 'soft target.' Our MotionX technology works 24/7 to spot unusual activity, and our Presence Simulation keeps your home looking active even during quiet periods. By maintaining a proactive stance, you ensure that Heathfield remains the safe, peaceful community you enjoy.

Absolutely. Many Heathfield properties have beautiful, large gardens that are difficult to monitor with standard cameras. scOS uses AI to automatically detect your property boundaries, no matter how irregular. It can distinguish between a neighbour's cat and a person approaching your home through the garden, triggering escalating deterrents like lights and voice warnings to keep your entire perimeter secure.

scOS is designed for the modern homeowner. With 'scOS Director,' you can use natural language to ask about your home. If you're out at the Heathfield Farmers Market, you can simply ask your phone, 'Has anyone been to the back door?' or 'Did the gardener arrive?' It provides instant, intelligent answers, giving you total control over your home's security without having to study camera feeds.
