Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, but it does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While traditional systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web or gust of wind, scOS uses MotionX. This revolutionary technology focuses only on 'important activity,' recognising people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their figure. Because it understands the difference between a fox and a prowler, it can trigger immediate, automatic interventions like lights and voice warnings. You don't need to draw 'tripwires' or 'zones'—the AI automatically learns your property boundaries and defends them. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

In most cases, yes. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with almost any professional-grade wired IP camera, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. We don't believe in forcing you to buy new hardware if your current cameras are high-quality. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing setup. We then connect your cameras to our Intelligence Hub, which transforms your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, proactive network. By using wired connections over wireless, we ensure your system remains resilient against the signal jamming techniques often used by modern burglars, providing a much more stable and secure foundation than off-the-shelf wireless kits.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your normal internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home look occupied to anyone watching from the street. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your property, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. Third is Active Intervention. When a threat is detected, the system doesn't just record; it reacts. It triggers instant illumination and delivers escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. These aren't pre-recorded loops but AI-driven responses that let the intruder know they have been spotted and are being monitored, usually causing them to flee before they even reach your door.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands that ship your data to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data and personal information are stored in secure UK data centres and managed in full compliance with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the immediate, heavy-duty AI processing locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to the cloud when necessary for alerts or remote access. You retain full control over your data at all times, and we never sell your information to third parties. You can access your 24/7 recordings from anywhere in the world, with up to two weeks of footage stored securely and ready for review.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a slow sensor. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home's exterior, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It identifies threats the moment they step onto your driveway or garden, long before they reach your entrance. Furthermore, doorbells rarely deter determined criminals; scOS actively intervenes with light and sound to stop the crime in progress. While a doorbell provides a video of a package being stolen, scOS is designed to ensure the thief never feels comfortable enough to step onto your porch in the first place.

High Littleton’s rural setting can make homes feel isolated, which is exactly what opportunistic burglars look for. While the local crime rate is lower than the national average, this often leads to a false sense of security. scOS is particularly effective here because our Presence Simulation makes your home appear active even if you've popped into Bristol or Bath for the evening. Our AI also recognises the difference between local wildlife and a human intruder, ensuring you aren't woken up by false alarms while still receiving instant alerts if someone is actually prowling around your outbuildings or driveway.

Yes, scOS is excellent for protecting vehicles. Our system features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which can check the registrations of vehicles entering your property against the national database. This is vital for spotting cloned plates or vehicles that have been flagged for suspicious activity elsewhere. If an unrecognised vehicle enters your driveway at an unusual hour, scOS can trigger an immediate escalating response, from turning on floodlights to issuing a voice warning, ensuring your cars are protected by more than just a standard alarm.

Avon and Somerset Constabulary, like many forces, prioritises crimes where there is clear evidence or a crime in progress. scOS provides exactly that. Because our system records 24/7 and uses AI to categorise 'important activity,' you can provide the police with high-quality, relevant footage immediately. More importantly, our proactive deterrents often stop the crime before a police response is even necessary. By delivering a voice warning that tells an intruder they are being recorded and the police are being notified, scOS effectively 'hardens' your home, making it a much less attractive target than neighbouring properties.
