Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops the crime from happening in the first place. While traditional systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web or gust of wind, our MotionX technology focuses only on 'important activity.' It requires no motion masks or tripwires because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When it detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record—it intervenes with light and voice deterrents to scare intruders away before they reach your door. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them from 'dumb' recording devices into proactive AI sensors. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS ecosystem, you gain access to MotionX detection, presence simulation, and our escalating response protocols without needing to replace every piece of glass on your property, provided the image quality meets our AI's processing requirements.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home appear occupied to anyone scouting the area. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies 'important activity' the moment someone enters your property, even if they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their silhouette. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat persists, the system triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and activates instant illumination. This escalating response ensures that a criminal feels watched and exposed long before they attempt a break-in.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information stay yours. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app, ensuring your home's intelligence remains private and protected under British law.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a laggy notification. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front porch, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including side paths and rear gardens. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop the crime before the criminal even reaches the door. By the time a traditional doorbell would alert you, scOS has already detected the intruder, simulated your presence inside, and issued a voice warning to move them off your property.

Holt is a prestigious market town, and high-value properties are often scouted by professional thieves. scOS is designed to be a discreet but powerful deterrent. Our presence simulation is a key feature for Holt residents, especially those who may have second homes or travel frequently. By making the property look consistently occupied with realistic lighting patterns, you remove the primary signal that burglars look for, protecting your investment even when you're not in North Norfolk.

Yes, scOS is excellent for second home owners. You can monitor your property from anywhere in the world via our secure app. More importantly, the system is autonomous. If a threat is detected, it will take action—triggering lights and voice warnings—without you needing to do anything. You'll receive a notification of the event, but you can rest easy knowing the system has already intervened to protect your home in your absence.

Our AI-driven MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore the movement of wildlife, which is common in North Norfolk. Whether it's deer, foxes, or birds, the system will not trigger a false alarm. It only focuses on 'important activity'—specifically humans and vehicles. This means you won't be bothered by constant notifications, but you can be 100% certain that if your phone does buzz, it's something that requires your attention.
