Traditional CCTV is a passive system that simply records footage for later viewing. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. The core of our system is MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just any movement. This means it won't be triggered by pets, wildlife, or swaying trees in your garden. It identifies human presence with 100% accuracy and automatically understands your property boundaries without any manual setup. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with automatic lights and voice warnings to deter intruders, providing a much higher level of security than traditional cameras.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have a camera system at your Ightham home, we can often integrate it with our Intelligence Hub to add our advanced AI features. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current cameras to ensure they are compatible with our MotionX detection. We always recommend wired connections for the best reliability and to prevent signal jamming, ensuring your home is always protected.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your home's normal activity patterns when you're away, making it look like someone is always home—perfect for when you're commuting or away from Ightham. Second is our MotionX AI, which identifies suspicious human behaviour with 100% accuracy, even if an intruder is trying to hide their face. Third is Active Intervention: if someone enters your property, the system triggers automatic lights and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response is designed to stop a criminal in their tracks and make them leave your property immediately.

Your data privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model where our Intelligence Hub handles most of the work locally on your property. This ensures your data stays private and the system responds instantly. We only use our secure UK cloud for advanced AI tasks and to allow you to access your system remotely. We never sell your data, and you have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often reactive, only telling you someone is there after they've arrived. scOS provides intelligence for your entire property. It monitors your boundaries and uses AI to detect threats before they even reach your house. While a doorbell might show you a package being taken, scOS is designed to stop the thief from entering your property in the first place. It also eliminates the false alarms common with doorbells, focusing only on 'important activity' so you only get notified when it truly matters.

Ightham is an affluent area with many high-value properties and vehicles. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the registration of any vehicle entering your property against the national database. This allows the system to flag unrecognised or suspicious vehicles immediately. Given Ightham's proximity to the M25 and M20, this is a vital feature for identifying and deterring potential car thieves who may be scouting the area.

Many Ightham residents commute to London or nearby Sevenoaks, leaving their homes empty during the day. scOS is ideal for this lifestyle. Our Presence Simulation feature makes your home look active while you're away, and the 'scOS Director' allows you to check in on your home using natural language. You can simply ask, 'Has there been any activity today?' and get a concise summary, giving you total peace of mind while you're at work or travelling.

Kent Police do a great job, but they can't be everywhere. scOS acts as your first line of defence, providing an immediate, proactive response to any threat. This often resolves the situation before the police would even need to be called. If an incident does occur, scOS provides high-quality, 24/7 recording and vehicle recognition data that can be invaluable for police investigations, helping to keep the Ightham community safer and more secure.
