Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records footage for you to watch after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that actively works to prevent crime at your Hellingly home. The core of our system is MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means scOS ignores distractions like wind-blown trees on the Cuckoo Trail or local wildlife, and instead identifies human behaviour. It doesn't require manual 'zones'; the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with escalating responses like voice warnings and lighting to stop intruders before they reach your home.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. We can take your existing wired IP cameras—from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink—and upgrade them with our advanced AI. During our professional installation in Hellingly, which typically takes 4-6 hours, we integrate your current hardware with our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your passive cameras into an active security network, giving you access to features like DVLA vehicle recognition and scOS Director without the need for a full system replacement. It’s a smart way to get professional-grade security using your existing infrastructure.

scOS uses a three-layered deterrent strategy to keep your Hellingly home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic your daily routines, making it look like someone is home even when you're out. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious individuals even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers Active Intervention. This involves external IoT speakers delivering clear voice warnings and security lights illuminating the area. This immediate, escalating response is designed to deter criminals at the boundary, long before they can attempt a break-in.

We take data privacy very seriously. scOS is 100% UK-based, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We use a hybrid processing model where our Intelligence Hub handles most of the work locally on your property for maximum privacy and speed, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced features and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data belongs solely to you. You can access your 24/7 recordings from anywhere, knowing your Hellingly home's data is protected by the highest UK security standards.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only triggers when someone is already there. scOS provides 360-degree intelligence for your entire Hellingly property. It detects threats at the edge of your boundary, giving the system time to deter the intruder before they ever reach your door. With professional-grade features like DVLA vehicle recognition to track suspicious cars and AI that can distinguish between family and strangers, scOS offers a level of protection that a simple doorbell cannot match.

Hellingly has seen significant new housing developments recently. scOS is perfect for new builds, as our professional installers can neatly integrate the system into your home's modern infrastructure. Our AI is particularly good at 'learning' the layout of new properties, automatically detecting boundaries even in areas where landscaping is still maturing. Whether you live in a historic cottage or a brand-new home, scOS provides bespoke, high-tech protection.

Sussex Police are dedicated, but rural and semi-rural areas can present challenges for rapid response. scOS acts as your home's personal security guard, providing immediate intervention that can stop a crime in its tracks. By deterring intruders at the boundary, scOS often prevents the need for police involvement. If an incident does occur, our system provides high-definition, 24/7 recorded evidence that is invaluable for Sussex Police investigations, including clear person recognition and vehicle data.

Many Hellingly residents enjoy the proximity to the Cuckoo Trail, but this public access can sometimes lead to concerns about property boundaries. scOS uses AI to automatically detect your property lines, ensuring that the system only monitors your land. It is smart enough to ignore people passing by on public paths while remaining hyper-vigilant for anyone who steps onto your property, providing peace of mind without constant false alarms.
