Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your home being burgled; scOS is a proactive guardian that prevents it. While standard systems rely on "motion detection" that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology ignores the noise to focus on genuine threats. It requires no manual "tripwires" or zones, as the AI automatically understands your property boundaries from the moment it is installed. When a real threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes with light and voice deterrents to stop intruders before they reach your door.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can often transform your existing "dumb" cameras into an intelligent AI-powered network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our UK engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it meets the technical requirements for our Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI protection without the cost of replacing every camera on your property.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home while you're away, making the property look occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour—even if the person is wearing a mask or trying to hide—the moment they cross your boundary. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers an escalating response: instant external illumination followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach is designed to make criminals choose an easier target elsewhere.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many consumer brands that send data abroad, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy, with only critical events escalated to our secure UK-based cloud servers for remote access and backup. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your data with third parties. You retain full control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your front door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property. While doorbells often suffer from "notification fatigue" due to false alarms, scOS uses MotionX to ensure you only hear about activity that actually matters. Furthermore, a doorbell cannot simulate your presence or provide escalating voice deterrents across your whole garden or driveway. scOS stops the crime from happening in the first place, rather than just filming the person who rings your bell.

High Ercall properties often have large gardens or agricultural land attached. scOS is uniquely suited for this because its AI automatically detects property boundaries without the need for manual tripwires. This means the system can monitor large perimeters and distinguish between a stray animal in a field and a person approaching your home or outbuildings, providing comprehensive coverage for larger Shropshire plots.

Yes, scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is highly effective for monitoring driveways and farm entrances. The system identifies vehicles and checks their registrations against the DVLA database, alerting you to any suspicious or unknown cars. You can even ask the scOS Director, "Has any unfamiliar vehicle been near the barn today?" to get a conversational summary of all vehicle activity on your property.

Our professional UK-based installation team handles everything. For a home in High Ercall, the installation typically takes between 4 and 6 hours. We use wired connections rather than wireless to ensure the system cannot be jammed and remains stable in rural settings. We'll set up the Intelligence Hub, integrate your cameras, and configure the external IoT speakers and lighting responses, leaving you with a fully operational, AI-managed security system.
