Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime while it happens. scOS is an active intelligence system that works to prevent the crime entirely. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, the system identifies 'important activity'—specifically human threats—rather than just simple motion like a swaying tree or a passing cat. This means no more annoying false alarms or the need to draw complex motion masks. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice warnings to deter the intruder before they ever reach your door.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' wired IP cameras into a cutting-edge intelligent system. We are compatible with most major brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes between 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade your home security to AI-level protection without the need to replace all your existing hardware.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic normal human activity patterns inside your home, making it appear occupied even when you are away. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary, even if the intruder is attempting to hide their face or change their silhouette. Finally, if a threat persists, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This involves instant illumination and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers, making it clear to the criminal that they are being watched by an intelligent system.

We take your privacy and data security extremely seriously. Unlike many other providers, scOS is 100% UK-based, meaning our company, our support teams, and our data centres are all located within the UK. Your system is fully GDPR compliant, and your data remains entirely yours—we never sell it to third parties. We use a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub handles most tasks locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already pressed the button. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary and detects suspicious activity long before anyone reaches your entrance. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief from stepping onto your driveway in the first place. Furthermore, our system is professionally wired, meaning it cannot be defeated by the simple WiFi jamming techniques that often render wireless doorbells useless.

Knighton's position on the border means a high volume of transient traffic. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which scans the registration plates of every vehicle that enters your property's vicinity. It checks these against the DVLA database to identify cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. This is a vital tool for identifying potential threats that may be travelling through the area specifically to target residential properties.

If an intruder ignores the initial light response, scOS moves to an Escalating Response. Using external IoT speakers, the AI delivers clear voice warnings. These aren't just pre-recorded loops; they are intelligent deterrents that signal to the intruder they have been detected. If the person remains on the property, the warnings become more frequent and authoritative, creating a high-pressure environment that forces criminals to flee before they can attempt a break-in.

Yes, scOS is designed to be highly effective even in the dark. Our MotionX AI doesn't rely on perfect lighting to recognise a human threat; it understands the way people move and can identify a person even if they are trying to stay in the shadows or are wearing dark clothing. Combined with our automatic light response, which floods the area with light the moment a boundary is crossed, scOS ensures that your Knighton home is protected 24 hours a day.
