Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, whereas scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. While standard systems rely on 'motion masks' that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only, such as a person approaching your home with intent. It requires no manual setup of zones and delivers zero false alarms, transitioning your security from a simple recording device to an active digital guard that intervenes the moment a threat is detected.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform most existing wired IP camera setups—including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink—into high-level AI systems. During our professional UK installation, we assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility with our Intelligence Hub. By layering our AI over your existing cameras, you gain all the benefits of proactive protection and MotionX detection without needing to replace your entire infrastructure, provided the cameras meet the necessary technical standards for high-quality video feed.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation learns your daily habits to mimic human activity inside the home while you're away, making the property appear occupied. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour or individuals attempting to conceal their identity, even in the dark. Finally, if a boundary is breached, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination from smart lighting and authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. This multi-stage approach ensures criminals are identified and deterred long before they reach your door.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. All data processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK-based cloud servers for advanced analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal data are never sold or shared with third parties. You retain total control over your data, with 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings, all stored within a secure, encrypted environment right here in Britain.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a delayed alert. scOS provides whole-property intelligence that monitors your entire boundary, not just the front step. While a doorbell might capture a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. By using proactive voice deterrents and light responses, we stop the crime in progress, whereas a doorbell simply records the event for you to watch later.

For Holybourne residents commuting into London or working in nearby Alton, the home is often empty for 10+ hours a day. Our Presence Simulation is specifically designed for this; it doesn't just turn lights on a timer, but simulates realistic human activity patterns inside your home. This makes your property a much less attractive target for burglars who scout the village during the day, as it never truly looks unoccupied.

Holybourne is an affluent village, and high-value vehicles are often a target for organised theft. scOS features DVLA-integrated vehicle recognition that can identify your family cars and flag any unrecognised or suspicious vehicles loitering near your property. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a known history of suspicious activity enters your boundary, scOS can trigger an immediate alert and proactive deterrents to protect your driveway.

Our professional UK-based installation team handles everything in a single day, typically taking between 4 to 6 hours. We ensure that all external IoT speakers and AI sensors are positioned perfectly to cover your Holybourne property's specific layout. Because we use wired connections rather than jam-prone Wi-Fi, you get a robust, professional-grade installation that works reliably regardless of local signal interference.
