Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device that only provides evidence after a crime has occurred. scOS is an active intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to detect 'important activity' in real-time. Unlike standard motion detection that is often triggered by seagulls or swaying trees, MotionX is specifically trained to recognise human movement. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with lights and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they can cause any damage. It’s a proactive approach that turns your cameras into a 24/7 security guard.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and can work with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have a camera system at your Hemsby property, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with it. This allows you to upgrade to our advanced AI features, like Presence Simulation and proactive deterrents, without needing to replace your existing hardware. Our professional UK-based installers will assess your current setup during the installation process to ensure everything is perfectly integrated.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your usual internal activity patterns—essential for Hemsby's holiday homes or when you're away for the winter. Second, MotionX AI detects intruders at your property boundary, even if they are trying to hide their identity. Third, the system uses Active Intervention, triggering external lights and authoritative voice warnings from IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to make intruders feel exposed and watched, usually causing them to flee before they even reach your house.

We take your privacy very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. Most of the AI processing is done locally on your Intelligence Hub, with the cloud used only for secure backup and remote access. You have total control over your video recordings, which are stored for up to 14 days and can be accessed anytime through our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. scOS provides proactive, whole-property protection. While a doorbell might show you someone at the door, scOS is designed to prevent them from getting there in the first place. Our system is hardwired, making it much more reliable than wireless doorbells that can be easily jammed or suffer from battery issues. For Hemsby residents, scOS offers a much more comprehensive and dependable security solution for the entire home.

Hemsby's popularity as a holiday destination means many properties are left empty for long periods, especially during the off-season. scOS is perfect for this. Our Presence Simulation feature makes your home look lived-in by mimicking your usual lighting and activity patterns, discouraging burglars who target empty holiday lets. You can also monitor your property from anywhere in the world via our secure app, giving you total peace of mind that your Hemsby home is safe, even when you're not there.

Yes, scOS is designed to be incredibly reliable, even in coastal environments like Hemsby. Our AI, MotionX, is specifically trained to ignore common coastal distractions like seagulls, blowing sand, or moving trees, focusing only on genuine human threats. This means you won't be plagued by false alarms, ensuring that when you do get an alert, it's something that truly requires your attention. Our professional installation also ensures that all hardware is properly protected against the elements.

Yes, scOS features 'scOS Director,' a conversational AI that lets you ask questions about your property in plain English. You can ask things like, 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' or 'Did the maintenance team arrive today?' and get an immediate, accurate response. This makes managing your home security incredibly simple and intuitive, removing the need to spend time searching through video footage. It’s like having a personal security assistant for your Hemsby home.
