scOS is a generational leap over traditional CCTV. While standard systems merely record a crime for you to watch later, scOS is designed to prevent it from happening. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just pixels moving. Unlike old systems that require you to draw complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from spiders or wind, MotionX works out of the box, instantly recognising people and vehicles while ignoring distractions. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. It uses proactive boundary detection and escalating responses—like automatic lighting and AI-driven voice warnings—to deter intruders before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between a passive witness and a digital security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with the vast majority of professional, wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub, instantly transforming your 'dumb' cameras into a proactive AI security network. This allows you to upgrade to world-class intelligence without the cost of replacing every camera on your property. We prefer wired connections over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be defeated by the Wi-Fi jamming devices often used by modern burglars.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. 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 to anyone scouting the area. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their silhouette. Third is Active Intervention. When a threat is detected, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination to strip away the cover of darkness, followed by clear, AI-generated voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By letting the intruder know they have been spotted and identified, scOS stops the crime before it escalates to a break-in.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many security companies that ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the 'thinking' locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. We never sell your data, and you maintain total control over who can view your footage. You get 24/7 recording with up to two weeks of history stored securely, accessible only by you through our encrypted app, no matter where you are in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a slow sensor. In contrast, scOS is a proactive, whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It detects a criminal the moment they step onto your driveway or garden, not just when they reach the front door. Furthermore, doorbells rarely deter a determined criminal; scOS actively intervenes with lights and voice warnings to drive them away. It’s the difference between seeing a package thief on your phone and preventing the thief from ever stepping onto your land.

Kings Hill is a prime location for commuters, but empty homes are a magnet for burglars. scOS features advanced Presence Simulation, which goes far beyond simple light timers. It learns your actual habits—when you're in the kitchen, when you're in the lounge—and replicates those patterns when you're away. This makes your home look genuinely lived-in to anyone scouting the neighbourhood, providing a powerful passive deterrent while you're at work in London or away on holiday.

Kent Police are active in the area, but scOS provides the immediate response they can't. Our system uses MotionX to detect intruders at your property boundary and immediately initiates an escalating response. By the time a burglar even considers breaking in, they've been hit with bright lights and a voice warning. This proactive approach often resolves the threat before you even need to call the police, though the system still provides high-quality evidence if required.

Many Kings Hill residents have invested in high-quality CCTV that they find frustrating due to false alarms. scOS is the perfect upgrade. We can take your existing Hikvision or Dahua cameras and connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This instantly adds MotionX intelligence, eliminating false alarms from spiders or wind and adding proactive voice deterrents. It’s the smartest way to get more value out of the security you already have.
