Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian that intervenes before a crime occurs. Our proprietary MotionX technology is the heart of this difference. Unlike standard systems that trigger on any movement—leading to endless false alarms from spiders, wind, or shadows—MotionX identifies 'important activity'. It recognises the specific patterns of human behaviour, whether someone is walking normally, crouching, or trying to hide their figure. Because it understands what it sees, it can trigger automatic responses like instant lighting or voice warnings without you needing to lift a finger. There are no 'motion masks' to draw; the AI automatically understands your property boundaries and starts protecting you the moment it's installed.

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 popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub provides the local processing power needed for our AI to analyse your footage in real-time. By upgrading your existing setup, you get the full suite of scOS features—like MotionX and Presence Simulation—without the cost of replacing every camera on your Hilton property.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your typical internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home look occupied to anyone scouting the area. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your boundary—even if the intruder is wearing a mask or a hood. Finally, the system uses active intervention. If a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just send a notification; it takes action. It can instantly flood the area with light and deliver authoritative voice warnings through external IoT speakers. These aren't pre-recorded loops but AI-driven responses that escalate if the intruder persists, effectively 'talking' them off your property before they ever reach your door.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub at your home handles the initial AI analysis locally, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced processing or remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. You can access this footage securely from anywhere in the world, knowing that your home's intelligence stays between you and your system.

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 PIR sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your driveway, scOS monitors your entire boundary. It identifies a potential intruder the moment they step onto your land, not just when they reach the entrance. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop the crime. While a doorbell might capture a video of a package being stolen, scOS uses its escalating voice deterrents and lighting to prevent the thief from approaching in the first place. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a security guard.

Hilton's proximity to the A14 makes it accessible for criminals who use the major road network to target rural villages and make a quick escape. scOS is designed to counter this. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition can identify vehicles that don't belong in the village or those with cloned plates. By detecting these threats early and using proactive voice deterrents, scOS makes your property a high-risk, low-reward target, encouraging criminals to stay on the A14 and away from your home.

We understand that Hilton is a historic village with many beautiful period properties. Our professional installation team is highly skilled at installing wired systems discreetly. We use existing cable runs where possible and ensure that all hardware is positioned to be as unobtrusive as possible while maintaining maximum security coverage. A wired system is essential for the reliability required by our AI, and we take great pride in ensuring the installation respects the architectural integrity of your Huntingdonshire home.

Yes, scOS is designed to be 'set and forget'. Our AI automatically learns your property boundaries, so you don't need to spend time configuring the system. It also learns the 'normal' patterns of your home, such as when you usually arrive back from work or when the postman visits. This means the system becomes more intelligent over time, reducing false alerts and ensuring that you are only notified when something truly unusual happens. It’s a sophisticated system that requires zero technical knowledge from the user.
