Traditional CCTV is passive; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. The core difference is our MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity' rather than just movement. This means no more false alarms from Kimberley's wind, local cats, or swaying trees. scOS also features active intervention. Instead of just watching an intruder, the system uses automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to deter them. It doesn't require you to set up complex 'zones'—the AI automatically understands your property boundaries and protects them 24/7.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras. If you already have cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our scOS Intelligence Hub can likely take control of them, turning your existing setup into a high-intelligence AI system. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your hardware and ensure everything is optimised. This allows you to upgrade to proactive AI protection without the expense of replacing all your existing cameras, making it a smart investment for your Kimberley home.

scOS uses three layers of deterrence to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity inside your home—turning lights on and off in a natural pattern—so it looks like you're home even when you're out. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people at your boundary with zero false alarms, even if they are trying to hide their faces. Third is Active Intervention, where the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers instant lighting. This escalating response makes it clear to any intruder that they have been spotted and should leave immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. The scOS Intelligence Hub processes most information locally on your property for maximum speed, only using the cloud for secure backup and remote access. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, ensuring your Kimberley home's security data stays in your hands.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers your front door. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary, including driveways and gardens. While a doorbell might tell you a parcel has been stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief before they even reach your porch. It uses proactive AI to intervene with lights and voice warnings, providing a level of security that a simple doorbell cannot match. For Kimberley residents, scOS offers comprehensive protection that secures the whole home, not just the entrance.

Kimberley's proximity to the M1 makes it a target for vehicle-related crime. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the number plates of cars entering your property against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is detected, the system can alert you instantly and trigger a deterrent response. This is a powerful way to protect your cars and prevent 'scouting' by criminals using the motorway for a quick getaway.

scOS is built to be incredibly user-friendly. You don't need to manage complex settings or look at confusing grids of video. With 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, you can simply ask questions like, 'Was there any unusual activity last night?' or 'Who has been on the driveway?' and get a clear, natural language answer. It’s like having a conversation with a security guard who knows your property inside out, making it easy for anyone in Kimberley to stay informed and secure.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to handle the varied British weather, from heavy rain to thick fog. Our MotionX technology is far more advanced than standard motion sensors; it can recognise a human figure even in poor visibility or if they are wearing a hood or mask. Because the system is professionally wired rather than relying on Wi-Fi, it is also immune to signal jamming and remains stable during Nottinghamshire's winter storms, ensuring your home is protected 365 days a year.
