Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which moves beyond simple motion detection that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch. MotionX identifies 'important activity'—specifically human presence and behaviour—with near-zero false alarms. While your old system might send you a notification of a burglary after the fact, scOS detects the intruder at your property boundary and intervenes immediately with lights and voice deterrents to prevent the break-in from ever occurring. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Yes, in the vast majority of cases, scOS can breathe new life into your existing hardware. We are brand agnostic and compatible with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your current setup. We essentially take your 'dumb' cameras and plug them into our Intelligence Hub, which provides the AI processing power needed for MotionX and proactive deterrence. This means you don't have to rip out your existing infrastructure to get world-class AI protection; you simply upgrade the brains of the system.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals before they reach your door. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity inside your home—turning lights on and off in natural patterns—so your house never looks empty. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide. The final layer is active intervention: the system triggers instant external lighting and delivers authoritative voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This escalating response makes it clear to any intruder that they are being watched by an intelligent system, not just a passive camera.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands that ship your footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and then escalated to our secure UK-based cloud data centres for storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your data with third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, allowing you to access it from anywhere in the world via our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door—often when it's already too late. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front porch, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It doesn't just tell you someone is there; it actively works to keep them away. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and easily jammed; scOS uses hardwired connections for maximum reliability. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and scOS Director, you get a comprehensive security management tool that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot match.

We understand that many homes in Holt are historic or have unique architectural features. Our professional UK installation team is experienced in working with heritage properties, ensuring that all wiring is discreet and that the system is installed with the utmost care. Because scOS is brand agnostic, we can often use cameras that blend in with your home's aesthetic while still providing the full suite of AI-powered protection.

Rural vehicle theft is a concern in Wiltshire. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs every vehicle that enters your property. It checks registrations against the DVLA database to identify cloned plates or suspicious vehicles. If an unknown car enters your driveway at an unusual hour, scOS can immediately alert you and trigger a deterrent response, ensuring your vehicles are protected by more than just a locked gate.

scOS is designed to be your first line of defence. By using MotionX to detect intruders at the boundary and voice deterrents to warn them off, the system often resolves the threat before you even need to call Wiltshire Police. It acts as a 24/7 digital security guard, providing the immediate response that is so vital in rural areas where police may be several miles away.
