Every time you leave home, there's that nagging worry. Did I lock up properly? Is someone watching the house? You shouldn't have to feel anxious about your own home.
Something happened in the garden last night. Now you're scrubbing through 8 hours of footage trying to find 30 seconds of activity. Life's too short for this.
Your phone buzzes constantly. A cat. Cobwebs. Headlights. After a while you stop checking, which defeats the entire point of having cameras.
Not motion. Not shadows. scOS detects the kind of activity a trained security guard would notice. When your phone buzzes, it matters.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Herne
Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records crime as it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a successful burglary. scOS is a proactive intelligence system powered by MotionX, which ignores 'noise' like wind or animals to focus exclusively on important activity. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries and intervenes the moment a threat is detected. It doesn't just watch; it acts to prevent the crime from ever occurring.
Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis. 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 to unlock features like proactive voice deterrents and presence simulation.
scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals in their tracks. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside, acting as a powerful passive deterrent. Second, our MotionX technology identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces instantly, regardless of how a person tries to hide. Finally, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers that inform the intruder they have been detected, usually causing them to flee before they reach your door.
Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. All data is processed through our UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. Unlike many competitors, we never sell your data or use it for third-party marketing. You have total control over your footage, which is stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. We use a hybrid of local processing in your Intelligence Hub and secure cloud escalation for maximum speed and security.
A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your door—often when it's already too late. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary and identifying threats long before they reach your entrance. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS uses AI to recognise suspicious patterns and intervene with voice deterrents to stop the theft from happening. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a digital security guard.
For Herne residents commuting to London or Canterbury, leaving the house empty all day is a major concern. Our Presence Simulation feature uses AI to learn your normal home activity and replicate it while you're away—turning lights on and off in a natural pattern. This makes your home look occupied to any opportunistic burglars scouting the area, preventing them from even considering your property as a target.
Herne is a safe town, but its proximity to the A299 makes it accessible for opportunistic thieves. scOS is designed to prevent complacency by providing 24/7 vigilant monitoring that never gets tired. By stopping crime at the boundary, we help maintain the peace and security that Herne residents value, ensuring your home doesn't become a statistic.
Absolutely. scOS uses professional-grade wired cameras and IoT speakers that are built to withstand the British weather, including the coastal winds and rain often experienced in Kent. Our professional installation ensures all cabling is discreet and protected, providing a robust system that works year-round regardless of the conditions.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
