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.
Family, friends, the builder—scOS learns who belongs. No repetitive alerts for familiar faces. Only strangers trigger attention.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Histon and Impington
Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is proactive. Our system uses MotionX technology, which doesn't just detect 'motion' like a swaying branch or a cat; it understands 'activity.' It recognises people and vehicles with zero false alarms, meaning you aren't plagued by useless notifications. When scOS detects a genuine threat on your Histon property, it doesn't just watch—it intervenes. By using automatic property boundary detection, the system knows exactly where your land starts and can trigger instant light and voice responses to deter intruders before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.
Absolutely. scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We can usually 'plug in' your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, instantly transforming your 'dumb' cameras into a state-of-the-art AI security network. This allows you to benefit from MotionX detection and scOS Director intelligence without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, making it a cost-effective way to bring elite-level security to your home in Cambridgeshire.
scOS employs a three-layered deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which learns your daily habits and mimics them when you're away—simulating internal activity so your home never looks empty. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour, such as loitering or covered faces, even if the intruder is trying to hide. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system initiates an escalating response. This includes instant illumination of the area and clear voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By the time a criminal even considers an entry point, they have already been detected, illuminated, and spoken to, which almost always results in an immediate retreat.
We take your privacy incredibly seriously. Unlike many global brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model where our Intelligence Hub handles local detection for speed, while our secure cloud manages complex recognition and remote access. Your footage is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you. We never sell your data or use it for marketing. In an era of digital insecurity, scOS ensures that what happens on your property stays private and under your total control.
A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it shows you who is at your door once they are already there. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While a doorbell might capture a thief stealing a parcel, scOS is designed to stop them from entering your driveway in the first place. Our system uses professional wired connections, which are far more reliable than the Wi-Fi signals doorbells rely on, making them immune to common jamming techniques. With scOS, you aren't just getting a digital peephole; you're getting a comprehensive AI-driven security shield that monitors every corner of your Histon and Impington home.
Histon and Impington are affluent villages with high property values, and their proximity to the A14 makes them attractive to organised burglars looking for a quick escape. While the overall crime rate is lower than the national average, property crime remains a significant concern for residents. scOS is specifically designed to detect the 'casing' behaviour often seen before high-value thefts. By providing a visible and audible deterrent before an intruder even reaches your home, scOS offers a level of protection that traditional alarms simply cannot match.
Yes, scOS is highly effective at identifying suspicious activity, including individuals wearing balaclavas, masks, or hoods to hide their identity. Our MotionX AI is trained to recognise the human form and behaviour regardless of clothing. If someone enters your property boundary with their face covered, scOS will immediately flag this as a high-priority threat, alerting you and potentially triggering an escalating voice deterrent to let the intruder know they have been spotted. This is a vital feature for preventing pre-planned burglaries in Cambridgeshire.
scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security system using natural language. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Was there anyone in the garden this morning?' or 'Did the delivery driver arrive?' It’s like having a security guard who has watched every second of your footage and can give you an instant report. This makes managing your home security effortless, allowing you to stay informed about your property while you're at work at the Cambridge Science Park or out in the village.
