Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage for a police report. scOS is proactive, using our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person loitering near your gable end—rather than just motion like wind or cats. Because it understands context, it can trigger automatic interventions like lights and voice warnings to stop a burglar before they touch your door. There are no motion masks to draw; the AI automatically learns your property boundaries in High Halden and ignores the street, ensuring zero false alarms and genuine protection.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. If you already have wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink installed at your High Halden property, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate them. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By layering our AI over your current cameras, you get all the benefits of proactive protection without needing to replace every piece of hardware you already own.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home when you're away, making it look occupied to anyone watching from the street. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour regardless of whether a person is wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers active interventions: instant illumination and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This multi-stage approach is designed to make a criminal decide your home isn't worth the risk.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your footage is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and then escalated to our secure UK data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data remains yours—we never sell it or use it for third-party training. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS protects your entire property boundary, not just the front step. While a doorbell is a reactive tool, scOS is a proactive intelligence system that identifies threats at the edge of your property and intervenes to prevent the crime from happening in the first place. For residents in villages like High Halden, where properties often have larger footprints or side access, a doorbell simply isn't enough.

High Halden's position on the A28 means a lot of passing traffic, which can sometimes include opportunistic thieves scouting for targets. scOS's DVLA Vehicle Recognition is a vital tool here; it logs the registration of every vehicle that enters your driveway and checks it against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is detected, you'll be alerted immediately, giving you an early warning that most systems miss.

Rural Kent properties often have multiple entry points. scOS uses Automatic Property Boundary Detection to monitor your entire perimeter without you having to draw complex zones. Our MotionX AI is trained to recognise people regardless of how they move or what they are wearing, ensuring that whether someone approaches from the road or the fields, they are detected and deterred instantly.

With scOS Director, our conversational AI, you can simply ask, 'Director, was there any unusual activity while I was at work in Ashford today?' The system will give you a natural language summary of any important events, such as a delivery driver or a suspicious vehicle, rather than making you scroll through hours of empty footage. It's like having a digital security guard who knows your home's normal patterns.
