Every time you leave home, there's that nagging worry. Did I lock up properly? Is someone watching the house? You shouldn't have to feel anxious about your own home.
Something happened in the garden last night. Now you're scrubbing through 8 hours of footage trying to find 30 seconds of activity. Life's too short for this.
Your phone buzzes constantly. A cat. Cobwebs. Headlights. After a while you stop checking, which defeats the entire point of having cameras.
Not motion. Not shadows. scOS detects the kind of activity a trained security guard would notice. When your phone buzzes, it matters.
Family, friends, the builder—scOS learns who belongs. No repetitive alerts for familiar faces. Only strangers trigger attention.
Message scOS for pre-edited clips across all cameras, or ask when the bin was last emptied. It's like having staff you can actually talk to.
No hidden fees. No premium tiers. All features included from day one.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Ickleford
Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX AI doesn't just record motion; it understands 'important activity.' It requires no motion masks or tripwires, as it automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, scOS intervenes instantly with lights and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they reach your door. Plus, with zero false alarms from spiders or wind, you can actually trust your notifications.
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 into an AI-powered system. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure compatibility. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI intelligence without the cost of replacing every piece of hardware on your Ickleford property.
scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're away. Second, MotionX detection identifies 'important activity' the moment someone steps onto your land, even if they are trying to hide their shape. Finally, if an intruder persists, the system triggers active intervention: instant illumination and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. We stop crime at the boundary, not the front door.
Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike many competitors, we never sell your data. The system uses a hybrid approach: our Intelligence Hub processes video locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to the cloud for advanced AI analysis and secure remote access. You remain in total control of your footage at all times.
A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is already at your door. By then, it’s often too late. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, detects threats long before they reach the house, and uses proactive deterrents to drive them away. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from ever stepping onto your driveway in the first place.
For Ickleford residents commuting to London or working in Hitchin, Presence Simulation is a game-changer. It uses AI to learn your home's normal internal activity and simulates it while you're away—turning lights on and off in realistic patterns. This ensures your home never looks like an empty target during the day or while you're on holiday.
Yes. scOS features Covered Face Detection. If the AI identifies someone approaching your property with their face concealed by a hood, mask, or balaclava, it immediately flags this as suspicious. The system can then trigger an escalating response, such as an automated voice warning, to let the individual know they have been detected.
scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to talk to your home security system. You can ask natural questions like, 'Was there any suspicious activity last night?' or 'Did the gardener arrive?' It provides instant answers based on its analysis of your footage, making it incredibly easy to stay informed about your Ickleford property without checking your phone constantly.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
