Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or what they are wearing, without the need for complex motion masks. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. By detecting threats at your property boundary, it can trigger automatic light responses and voice warnings to stop an intruder before they ever reach your door, turning your cameras from a witness into a deterrent.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering our AI over your existing cameras, we provide a cost-effective way to upgrade to world-class home intelligence without needing to replace every piece of hardware on your property. This allows you to keep the equipment you've already invested in while gaining the proactive protection of scOS.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied to anyone watching. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the very edge of your property boundary. Unlike standard systems, it isn't fooled by disguises or unusual movement. Third is Active Intervention. When a genuine threat is detected, the system triggers an escalating response, starting with instant illumination and followed by authoritative warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, AI-driven response signals to criminals that they have been spotted and that the home is actively defended.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your footage and personal information remain your property and are never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that home security should never come at the cost of your personal privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence that stops crime before it happens. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that understands the difference between a delivery driver and a loiterer. Furthermore, doorbells rarely offer proactive deterrents. scOS uses escalating voice warnings and light responses to drive intruders away from your property entirely. It’s the difference between seeing a package thief on camera and ensuring the thief never feels comfortable enough to step onto your driveway in the first place.

As a historic border village, Holt can be a target for cross-border criminals who believe rural areas are less protected. scOS counters this with proactive AI that doesn't just record crime but actively prevents it. Our system uses MotionX technology to identify suspicious behaviour at your property boundary and intervenes with automatic lights and voice warnings. This immediate response sends a clear message to any intruder that your home is defended by an intelligent, always-on security system, making it a much less attractive target.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. For Holt residents, this means you can ask questions like 'Has anyone been to the gate today?' or 'Was there any unusual activity last night?' and get an instant, intelligent response. It’s like having a digital security guard who knows your property inside out, saving you from having to scroll through hours of footage to find what you're looking for.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and can work with almost any wired IP camera system. If you already have cameras installed at your Holt property, our Intelligence Hub can likely transform them into a proactive AI security network. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your existing hardware and show you how scOS can add a layer of world-class intelligence to your current setup, providing a cost-effective way to upgrade your home's security.
