Standard CCTV is a passive recording device that only helps after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—specifically human movement—rather than just simple motion. This means no more false alarms from the wind in the trees or foxes in the garden. Unlike traditional systems that require manual 'zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, the system doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automated light and voice deterrents, stopping criminals in their tracks. It’s a complete shift from recording crime to preventing it entirely, providing 24/7 active protection for your home.

Yes, scOS is designed to be highly compatible. We can transform most existing wired IP camera systems into an intelligent scOS network. We are brand-agnostic, working seamlessly with hardware from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional installation process—which takes about 4-6 hours—our UK-based engineers will integrate your current cameras with our Intelligence Hub. This hub adds the AI 'brain' to your existing 'dumb' cameras, allowing you to benefit from MotionX detection and proactive deterrents without needing to replace your entire hardware setup, provided the cameras meet our technical requirements for high-definition processing.

scOS employs a powerful three-tier deterrent strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which learns your daily habits to simulate activity inside the house, making it look occupied even when you're out in Winchester or Romsey. The second layer is our MotionX AI, which detects suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your property, even if they are trying to hide their face with a mask or hood. The final layer is Active Intervention: if a threat is confirmed, the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and triggers instant illumination. This escalating response tells the intruder they've been spotted by an intelligent system, usually forcing an immediate retreat.

We take data privacy extremely seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. Unlike other systems that process your video in the cloud overseas, scOS uses a hybrid approach. Initial intelligence is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for maximum speed and privacy. Only when an event requires escalation is data sent to our secure UK cloud for 24/7 recording and remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell it to third parties, and you have total control over your privacy settings through our encrypted application.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it only sees what's directly in front of it and usually only alerts you once someone is already at the door. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, detecting threats long before they reach your entrance. While doorbells are often reactive and rely on easily-jammed Wi-Fi, scOS is a professional, wired system that offers 'un-jammable' security. With advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and proactive voice deterrents, scOS is designed to stop a crime before it happens, whereas a doorbell simply records the person who is already committing it.

King's Somborne is a beautiful rural village, but this can mean outbuildings and garages are often isolated and vulnerable. scOS is perfect for protecting these areas because our AI Property Boundary Detection automatically monitors the perimeter of your entire plot, including detached garages or barns. If someone approaches an outbuilding late at night, the system recognises the anomaly and can trigger an immediate voice deterrent or light response. This proactive approach is far more effective than a standard alarm, as it alerts the intruder that they are being watched before they even touch a lock.

Many residents in King's Somborne commute to London or nearby cities, leaving homes empty during the day. scOS features advanced Presence Simulation, which is far more sophisticated than a simple light timer. The AI learns your actual patterns of life—when you move between rooms and which lights you use—and replicates this behaviour while you're away. This makes your home appear genuinely occupied to anyone scouting the area, providing a powerful passive deterrent that stops your property from looking like an easy target during working hours.

In rural Hampshire, police response times can be longer than in urban centres. scOS acts as your immediate, on-site security presence. By using escalating deterrents like AI-generated voice warnings and instant lighting, the system is designed to handle the threat autonomously. Most criminals will flee the moment they realise they've been detected by an active system. This reduces your reliance on a rapid police response, as the system aims to resolve the situation by scaring off the intruder before any damage or entry can occur.
