Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops the crime from happening in the first place. While traditional systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web or gust of wind, our MotionX technology focuses only on 'important activity.' It requires no motion masks or tripwires because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When it detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record—it intervenes with light and voice deterrents to scare intruders away before they reach your door. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them from 'dumb' recording devices into proactive AI sensors. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS ecosystem, you gain access to MotionX detection, presence simulation, and our escalating response protocols without needing to replace every piece of glass on your property, provided the image quality meets our AI's processing requirements.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home appear occupied to anyone scouting the area. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies 'important activity' the moment someone enters your property, even if they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their silhouette. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat persists, the system triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and activates instant illumination. This escalating response ensures that a criminal feels watched and exposed long before they attempt a break-in.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information stay yours. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app, ensuring your home's intelligence remains private and protected under British law.

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 laggy notification. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front porch, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including side paths and rear gardens. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop the crime before the criminal even reaches the door. By the time a traditional doorbell would alert you, scOS has already detected the intruder, simulated your presence inside, and issued a voice warning to move them off your property.

Hoveton and Wroxham see a massive influx of visitors during the boating season. This makes it easy for suspicious individuals to blend into the crowds. scOS uses MotionX to focus specifically on 'important activity' around your property, ignoring the general hustle and bustle of the village. Our person recognition can distinguish between the usual flow of tourists and someone who is lingering or showing suspicious behaviour patterns near your home, giving you clarity in a busy environment.

For residents with riverside properties or private moorings, scOS is ideal. Our AI property boundary detection can be set to monitor your land and your boat, alerting you if someone steps onto your private decking or approaches your vessel. Because the system ignores water movement and reflections—common causes of false alarms for traditional CCTV—you get reliable protection for your most valuable assets without being bombarded by useless notifications.

Norfolk Constabulary covers a large area, and during peak tourist season, they are stretched thin. scOS provides an immediate, autonomous response that doesn't wait for a patrol car. By using voice deterrents and instant lighting, the system often resolves the threat before it escalates. If an incident does occur, you have high-quality, AI-verified evidence ready to provide to the police, significantly increasing the chances of a successful investigation.
