Traditional CCTV systems are passive—they record what happens but can't prevent it. scOS actively protects your home with AI monitoring that detects threats in real-time. Our MotionX technology goes beyond motion detection to understand behaviour patterns, distinguishing between delivery drivers and criminals. When a threat is detected, scOS responds immediately with presence simulation and active intervention, not just recording footage you'll review after a break-in. Your CCTV becomes reactive; scOS is proactive.

Yes. scOS works with most wired IP cameras already installed in homes across Kingston upon Hull. You don't need to replace your existing hardware. Our Intelligence Hub connects to your cameras and adds AI-powered features they never had: real-time threat detection, automatic response, and presence simulation. Professional installation is available to set up integration with your existing cameras, or if you're tech-confident, you can self-setup the system yourself.

scOS stops crime through three layered defences. First, presence simulation makes your home appear occupied with realistic activity patterns—lights, sounds, movement—even when you're away. Second, our MotionX AI instantly detects suspicious behaviour and unusual activity patterns at your property. Third, when a threat is detected, scOS takes active intervention: triggering alarms, activating external sirens, and alerting professional response teams. Criminals target homes they believe are easy targets; scOS proves your home isn't.

Your footage and AI analysis stay secure in UK data centres. We're fully GDPR compliant and prioritise your privacy. Your home security data is processed to power intelligent protection—never sold or shared. All video analysis happens with UK-based infrastructure, giving you control and transparency over your most sensitive information.

A video doorbell shows you who's at your door—after the fact. scOS stops crime before it happens. Video doorbells are reactive; they let you see a burglar and call police after your home is targeted. scOS is proactive with 360° AI monitoring across your property, not just at the entrance. It detects threats inside and outside your home, responds automatically in seconds, and doesn't require you to be watching your phone. For Kingston upon Hull's property crime rates, you need protection that acts, not just records.

scOS detects and responds in seconds. When MotionX identifies suspicious behaviour, the system immediately activates presence simulation, alarms, and professional intervention—all before a criminal can act. There's no delay waiting for you to check your phone or for police to respond. This speed is crucial in preventing break-ins; most burglaries take minutes, and scOS disrupts them before they're complete.

scOS requires an active internet connection for full protection. If your internet is down, local camera recording continues, but AI detection and active response features won't work until your connection is restored. For critical protection, we recommend reliable broadband—many Kingston upon Hull customers upgrade to business-grade connectivity when installing scOS. This ensures continuous AI monitoring without interruption.

The Intelligence Hub is designed for simple setup. Tech-confident users can self-install by connecting it to your network and existing cameras. For most homeowners, professional installation is available—our team handles all connections, configuration, and testing, usually completing installation in under two hours. Once installed, the Hub runs autonomously, learning your property and protecting it 24/7.

Not necessarily. If you have existing wired IP cameras, scOS integrates with them. If you don't have cameras or want to upgrade, we can recommend compatible systems. The cost is per camera (from 63p per day), so you only pay for what you need. Many customers find integrating existing cameras saves money compared to replacing everything.

scOS uses behaviour-based person recognition to understand normal activity at your home—delivery patterns, when lights typically turn on, regular visitor schedules. The more scOS monitors, the better it becomes at spotting anomalies. Within weeks, the AI learns your property's patterns and becomes increasingly accurate at detecting genuine threats versus everyday activity. This intelligence is personal to your home and improves continuously.
