Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch the footage later, which rarely leads to a conviction. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses our proprietary MotionX technology to understand what is happening in real-time. Unlike standard systems that trigger on every swaying branch or passing cat, MotionX ignores the noise and focuses only on 'important activity,' such as a person approaching your property. Because it understands context, it can trigger automatic interventions—like activating lights or voice warnings—to stop a crime before it happens. There are no complex motion masks to draw; the AI auto-detects your property boundaries and starts protecting you the moment it is installed, ensuring zero false alarms and total peace of mind.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our advanced AI layers—like DVLA vehicle recognition and person detection—without you needing to replace your entire infrastructure. This makes upgrading to scOS both cost-effective and environmentally friendly, as you are enhancing your current security investment with world-class AI capabilities.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal reaches your door. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them inside when you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour regardless of whether a person is wearing a mask or trying to hide their figure. Finally, if an intruder persists, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This isn't just a notification on your phone; the system automatically triggers external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and illuminates the area with instant light responses. This escalating response is designed to make the intruder feel watched and exposed, forcing them to abandon their attempt and move on.

At scOS, we believe your security data should be as private as your home. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. All your video data and AI processing are handled with the highest level of security in UK-based data centres, fully compliant with GDPR regulations. We use a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub in your home handles local tasks, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. Your data is never sold or shared with third parties; it remains entirely under your control. You can access up to two weeks of 24/7 recording from anywhere in the world, knowing that 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. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system designed to stop crime before it reaches the door. While a doorbell has a limited field of view and often relies on unreliable battery power or Wi-Fi, scOS uses wired connections that cannot be jammed and monitors your entire property boundary. Our AI detects threats at the edge of your land, triggering deterrents before a criminal even touches your property. While a doorbell might give you a video of a package being stolen, scOS prevents the thief from stepping onto your driveway in the first place, providing true proactive protection rather than just evidence.

Hurst Green's position on the A21 means a high volume of traffic passes your home daily. Standard motion-sensing cameras would be triggered constantly by passing cars and headlights. scOS uses MotionX, which ignores the 'noise' of the road and only focuses on activity that matters—like a person stepping off the pavement and onto your property. It doesn't need motion masks; the AI understands the difference between a car on the A21 and a person on your driveway, ensuring you only get alerted when there is a genuine reason for concern.

Many homes in Hurst Green are older or have unique architectural features. Our professional UK installers are experts at working with various property types. We use wired systems because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed, but we are highly skilled at discreetly routing cables to preserve the look of your home. During the 4-6 hour installation, we will also configure the AI to recognise your specific property boundaries, ensuring that the system provides maximum protection without interfering with the public footpath or neighbouring properties.

scOS is excellent at detecting suspicious behaviour, such as someone 'scouting' your property from the A21. If the AI detects a person lingering near your boundary or looking into your windows, it can initiate a 'Voice Deterrent' via external IoT speakers. This isn't a two-way intercom; it's an automated AI warning that lets the individual know they have been detected. This is often enough to deter someone who is just 'casing' the area, as it removes the element of anonymity they rely on.
