Traditional CCTV systems are purely passive—they record everything but do nothing to prevent crime. You only see what happened after the fact. scOS is fundamentally different. Our Intelligence Hub runs AI on-site to actively monitor your property in real-time. The moment we detect suspicious behaviour, we spring into action through MotionX, our multi-sensory deterrent system that combines lights, sounds, and movement to confuse and disorient intruders. We detect and respond in seconds. No human-in-the-loop delays. Your home becomes a harder target than the one next door, and criminals move on.

Yes. scOS works with most wired IP cameras already installed on your property. Our Intelligence Hub integrates with standard RTSP and ONVIF protocols, which cover the vast majority of professional and prosumer cameras. If you don't have cameras yet, we can recommend models proven to work seamlessly with scOS, or we can handle professional installation for you. Either way, you get the AI intelligence layer on top of your existing or new infrastructure.

scOS deters crime through three converging layers of protection. First, Presence Simulation creates the illusion that someone is home—lights turn on in response to motion, mimicking natural occupancy patterns that fool intruders into thinking the property is occupied. Second, MotionX detects actual threatening behaviour and triggers an immediate multi-sensory response: strobe lights disorient, sirens startle, and motorized blinds or curtains abruptly close to block sightlines. Third, for serious threats, we enable active intervention—authorities are alerted automatically and can take immediate action. Criminals don't want a three-layer challenge. They move to easier targets.

Your footage stays secure in UK data centres and is processed under full GDPR compliance. All AI analysis happens both locally on your Intelligence Hub and in our secure cloud infrastructure. You maintain full control over your data. We don't sell your footage or behaviour patterns to third parties. Encryption protects everything in transit and at rest. Your privacy is not a commodity—it's a fundamental right we protect.

A video doorbell shows you who's at your door—after they've already arrived. By then, it's too late to prevent anything. scOS stops crime before it happens. We monitor your entire property continuously, not just the front door. We detect intruders climbing fences, moving around your garden, or testing windows. We respond automatically with deterrents in seconds, not after you've received a notification and had time to react. A doorbell is a camera. scOS is an active security system that catches threats before they become crimes.

We're honest: scOS requires an active internet connection for AI features to work. Your cameras will continue recording locally on the Intelligence Hub, so you have a local backup of footage. However, cloud processing, real-time alerts, and active intervention pause until your connection is restored. This is why we recommend a reliable broadband connection and advise testing your connectivity during setup. For most UK properties, this isn't an issue, but it's important to understand the requirement upfront.

No, and actually that's a feature, not a limitation. Rather than requiring you to manually draw tripwires and zones, our AI automatically learns your property's layout and detects threats across the entire monitored area. The system intelligently distinguishes between legitimate activity (pets, guests, delivery drivers) and suspicious behaviour. This means zero false alarms from bushes blowing in the wind, and you get protection everywhere without fiddling with zone settings.

No. We use behaviour-based person recognition instead. Rather than storing and comparing faces, we identify people by their movement patterns, gait, size, and behaviour. This approach is far more privacy-friendly, doesn't require facial databases, and sidesteps the ethical and legal challenges of facial recognition. We know when someone is acting suspiciously—that's what matters for stopping crime.

The Intelligence Hub is a small device installed at your property that powers all AI features. For most properties, installation takes 1-2 hours. If you're tech-confident, we provide detailed self-setup guides and remote support via chat or video call. Alternatively, we offer professional installation where our team comes to your home, integrates your cameras, configures the Hub, and tests everything end-to-end. Either way, setup is straightforward—we've designed it to be accessible without technical expertise required.

scOS is priced at just 63p per day per camera, making advanced AI security genuinely affordable. There's no pricing based on property size—you pay per camera monitored, nothing more. For a typical 2-bedroom property with 2-3 cameras, you're looking at around £38-57 per month. Get a precise quote by telling us how many cameras you plan to monitor, and we'll show you the exact cost.
