Traditional CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records a crime as it happens so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent the crime from occurring in the first place. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology. While standard systems use basic motion detection that triggers for every passing cat, swaying branch, or spider web, MotionX ignores the 'noise' and focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It recognises human behaviour and property boundaries automatically, without the need for you to draw complex 'tripwire' zones. When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just send a notification; it initiates an escalating response of lights and voice warnings to deter the intruder immediately. It’s the difference between having a camera and having a digital security guard watching over your home 24/7.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with the vast majority of professional, wired IP camera systems. If you already have cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti installed at your Kings Worthy property, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them from 'dumb' recording devices into an intelligent, proactive security network. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware to ensure compatibility. By leveraging your current infrastructure, we can provide a significant intelligence upgrade without the need for a complete rip-and-replace, though we always recommend wired connections over wireless to ensure the system cannot be jammed or suffer from local signal interference.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-tier strategy to stop criminals before they reach your front door. The first layer is Presence Simulation; the system learns your typical internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home appear occupied to anyone watching from the street. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies 'important activity' the moment someone enters your property boundaries. It recognises people regardless of whether they are wearing hoods or masks. The final layer is Active Intervention. If a threat is detected, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI-driven voice warnings and instant illumination. This escalating response is designed to convince an intruder that they have been spotted by a live person, usually causing them to flee before they even attempt to break in.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy by design' approach. Your data is processed using a hybrid model: our Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the heavy lifting locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK-based cloud servers when necessary for advanced AI analysis or remote access. We are 100% UK-based, meaning all our data centres are located within the UK and we are fully GDPR compliant. Unlike many consumer-grade camera brands, we never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our encrypted app. Your home's intelligence stays between you and scOS.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived and pressed the button. In contrast, scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, detecting intruders the moment they step onto your driveway or garden. Furthermore, doorbells rarely deter a determined criminal who can simply cover their face. scOS uses proactive measures like escalating voice warnings and presence simulation to stop the crime before the intruder even reaches your door. It’s a comprehensive security solution versus a simple communication tool, providing professional-grade protection that a battery-powered doorbell simply cannot match.

Kings Worthy is a beautiful, quiet village, but its proximity to the M3 and A34 makes it an attractive target for 'commuter criminals' who look for easy access and quick escape routes. Hampshire Constabulary does an excellent job, but they cannot be everywhere at once. scOS provides that constant, local vigilance. Because our system uses MotionX to filter out false alarms from local wildlife or wind, you can trust that when you get an alert, it is genuine. This is particularly important in semi-rural areas where traditional motion sensors are often rendered useless by frequent false triggers from animals.

Absolutely. One of the standout features of scOS is 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI. You can ask natural questions like, 'Was there any unusual activity while I was at work today?' or 'Did any delivery vans come onto the drive this morning?' The system will scan your 24/7 recordings and provide a natural language summary. This is perfect for busy residents who don't have time to scroll through hours of footage but want the peace of mind that their property remained secure throughout the day. It’s like having a security guard you can talk to at any time.

Yes. scOS features advanced 'Covered Face Detection.' While many systems are fooled by a simple hoodie or a face mask, our AI is trained to recognise human behaviour and silhouettes. If someone enters your property with their face concealed, scOS flags this as highly suspicious activity and can immediately trigger an escalating response, such as turning on all external lights and delivering a firm voice warning via the IoT speakers. This proactive approach ensures that even those attempting to hide their identity are identified as a threat and deterred before they can cause damage.
