Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune, but scOS is a proactive guardian. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our proprietary MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only. It recognises humans and vehicles with surgical precision, ignoring the environmental noise that leads to 'notification fatigue.' More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. By detecting threats at your property boundary, it can trigger automatic light responses and voice warnings from external IoT speakers to deter an intruder before they even touch your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can often breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate them into the scOS ecosystem. During our professional installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup. We transform 'dumb' cameras that just record footage into intelligent sensors capable of boundary detection, person recognition, and proactive deterrence. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the cost of replacing every single camera on your property.

scOS employs a sophisticated, multi-layered approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal reaches your home. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's internal activity patterns and replicate them while you're away, making the property appear occupied. If a prowler does approach, our MotionX technology identifies them instantly, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their silhouette. The system then initiates an escalating response: first, automatic lighting illuminates the area, and if the threat persists, external IoT speakers deliver clear AI voice warnings. This proactive intervention is designed to convince a criminal that they have been spotted by a live observer, usually causing them to flee immediately.

At scOS, we believe your security data should be as private as your home itself. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. Your footage and data are processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action, with critical events escalated to our secure UK-based cloud servers for 24/7 access. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your data with third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, ensuring you can review any incident from anywhere in the world while knowing your privacy is protected by British law.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. In contrast, scOS provides comprehensive property intelligence that stops crime before it happens. While a doorbell has a limited field of view and often relies on laggy Wi-Fi, scOS uses a wired network of intelligent cameras to monitor your entire property boundary. Our system detects suspicious behaviour at the edge of your garden or driveway, triggering deterrents before a criminal even reaches your front door. While a doorbell might give you a video of a package being stolen, scOS is designed to ensure the thief never gets close enough to take it.

For Horley residents commuting via Gatwick or the Thameslink, homes are often left empty for long periods. scOS Presence Simulation is a game-changer here; it doesn't just turn lights on and off on a timer. It uses AI to simulate realistic human activity patterns inside your home, making it look genuinely occupied to anyone watching from the street. This acts as a powerful primary deterrent, ensuring your home doesn't stand out as an empty target while you're at work or abroad.

Horley's proximity to Gatwick Airport can sometimes lead to issues with unauthorised parking or suspicious vehicles scouting the area. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition system automatically logs every vehicle that enters your driveway or approaches your boundary. It checks registrations against the DVLA database to flag cloned plates or vehicles associated with criminal activity. You can even set alerts for 'unknown' vehicles, giving you an early warning if someone is showing an unusual interest in your property.

Surrey Police are highly professional, but they cannot be everywhere at once. scOS acts as your first line of defence, providing the 'proactive intervention' that prevents a crime from being completed. By the time an intruder has been deterred by our voice warnings and lights, the system has already recorded high-quality, 24/7 footage that can be used as evidence. Because our MotionX technology eliminates false alarms, any alert you receive is genuine, allowing you to contact the authorities with confidence and clear information.
