Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, often leaving you with nothing but footage of a masked intruder. scOS is proactive, using our MotionX technology to identify "important activity"—like a person loitering or a vehicle entering your drive—rather than just motion. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries and uses external IoT speakers and lighting to intervene the moment a threat is detected, stopping crime before it starts.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them into an AI-powered system. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it meets the technical requirements to support our advanced MotionX and vehicle recognition features.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're away. Second, our MotionX technology spots suspicious behaviour regardless of how an intruder moves or if they are wearing a mask. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination from external lights and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they are being monitored.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many "smart" home brands, we never sell your data. The system uses a hybrid approach where the Intelligence Hub processes data locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud for advanced analysis and remote access, ensuring you remain in total control of your footage.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a basic motion sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, recognises vehicles via DVLA databases, and detects suspicious activity like covered faces long before they reach your front door. While a doorbell is a reactive tool, scOS is a complete security solution designed to prevent a break-in from ever occurring.

Knowle’s quiet residential nature can make it a target for burglars who look for signs of an empty house. Presence Simulation is our most effective passive deterrent; it uses AI to learn your daily habits and replicates them while you're out, making it appear as though someone is moving between rooms and using the home naturally, which discourages intruders from even approaching.

With easy access to the M27, Knowle can see transient vehicles scouting for opportunities. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs every registration plate that enters your property. If a vehicle is identified as suspicious or has been seen multiple times in a short period, the system can alert you and initiate a deterrent response to move them on.

Yes, scOS is a professionally installed, wired system. Our UK-based engineers will visit your Knowle home to perform a full installation, typically taking 4-6 hours. We ensure all cameras are perfectly positioned and that the Intelligence Hub is correctly configured to provide 24/7 proactive protection without the reliability issues of wireless or battery-powered alternatives.
