Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is proactive. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, the system distinguishes between 'important activity'—like a person lurking near your driveway—and 'noise' like the wind in the trees or a cat crossing the road. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw messy motion zones, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is identified, the system doesn't just record; it intervenes with automated light responses and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between a witness and a digital security guard.

In most cases, yes. scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with the majority of professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your current cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub, we transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, AI-driven network. This allows you to upgrade your home security to world-class standards without the need to replace every piece of hardware you’ve already invested in, provided they meet the necessary technical requirements for our AI processing.

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. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour even if an intruder is wearing a mask or trying to hide their silhouette. Finally, if an intruder crosses your boundary, the system triggers Active Intervention. This isn't just a siren; it’s an escalating response using external IoT speakers to deliver AI-generated voice warnings and instant illumination. By making it clear to the criminal that they have been spotted and identified, scOS removes the 'darkness and silence' they rely on.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub and, when necessary, escalated to our secure UK-based data centres. 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. Because we use local processing for the heavy lifting, your system remains fast and secure, ensuring that your private home life remains exactly that—private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is already at your front door, which is often too late to prevent a crime. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that understands the difference between a delivery driver and someone scouting your home. Furthermore, doorbells rarely offer proactive deterrence. scOS stops the crime before it happens by intervening the moment someone steps onto your land. It’s a comprehensive security ecosystem versus a single, reactive camera point.

With property crime in Hunnington nearly triple the national average, a standard alarm is simply not enough. scOS is designed for high-risk environments. Our 'Escalating Response' feature is vital here: if an intruder ignores an initial light response, the system can trigger increasingly firm voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This proactive approach is designed to make it clear that the property is under active AI surveillance, forcing criminals to move on to easier, less protected targets.

Yes. scOS includes 'Covered Face Detection,' which is specifically trained to identify people attempting to hide their identity with balaclavas, masks, or pulled-up hoods. In high-crime areas like Hunnington, this is a critical feature. The system doesn't just see a person; it recognises the suspicious intent behind a concealed face and can immediately escalate its deterrent response and alert you, providing a level of protection that standard motion-sensing cameras cannot match.

Our MotionX technology is a breakthrough for Hunnington residents. Traditional systems often fail because they are either too sensitive (triggering on every passing car on the Bromsgrove Road) or not sensitive enough. MotionX ignores all the 'noise'—spiders, wind, traffic—and focuses only on human activity. It can even recognise a person if they are crawling or trying to change their silhouette. This means zero false alarms and 100% reliability when it matters most.
