Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is an active participant. Our system uses MotionX technology, which doesn't just look for movement—it understands activity. Unlike standard systems that trigger for every spider web or swaying branch, MotionX ignores the noise and focuses on 'important activity,' such as a person approaching your property. Because it understands the difference between a family member and a potential threat based on behaviour, it offers zero false alarms. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. By detecting a threat at the boundary, it can trigger lights and voice deterrents to stop an intruder before they ever reach your door, transforming your security from a recording device into a proactive digital guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you already have a wired IP camera system—such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti—we can usually transform those 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent scOS-powered network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. We bypass the limitations of your old recorder by connecting your cameras to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video feed locally before escalating important events to the cloud for AI analysis. This means you don't need to rip out your existing infrastructure to benefit from world-class AI monitoring and proactive protection.

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 from the street. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary—even if the person is wearing a mask or trying to hide their figure. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This isn't just a beep; it’s an escalating response where external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings and lights illuminate the area. By confronting the intruder at the boundary, scOS removes the element of surprise and anonymity that criminals rely on.

Privacy is at the core of scOS. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and then securely escalated to our UK-based data centres for cloud processing and storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data stays yours and is never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. This hybrid approach ensures that your home intelligence is both lightning-fast and incredibly secure, providing you with peace of mind that your private life remains private.

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 PIR sensor. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses AI to detect threats long before they reach the door, using escalating deterrents to stop them in their tracks. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and prone to signal jamming; scOS prefers wired connections for maximum reliability. Essentially, a doorbell records the crime; scOS is designed to prevent the crime from happening in the first place.

Holywell’s location near the A505 and M1 makes it accessible for mobile criminal groups who target quiet villages for quick property thefts. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs and checks every vehicle that enters your property. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is detected, you are alerted immediately. This allows you to stay one step ahead of criminals who use the local road network to scout for targets.

Yes. Holywell is a peaceful village, and we understand that residents don't want intrusive security. scOS uses MotionX AI, which is incredibly accurate. It won't trigger for a neighbour's cat or a bird, and our voice deterrents are designed to be firm but professional. The system only activates when a genuine threat is detected at your boundary, ensuring you maintain your privacy and the village's quiet atmosphere while staying fully protected.

Presence Simulation is one of our most popular features for Holywell commuters. The system learns your typical daily routine—when you turn on lights, when you're in certain rooms—and replicates those patterns when you're at work or on holiday. To anyone outside, it looks like you are home, which is the single most effective way to deter burglars from even considering your property as a target.
