Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is an active participant in your home's security. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which moves beyond simple pixel-change detection. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or shadows, MotionX understands 'important activity' out of the box. It ignores cobwebs, spiders, and wind, focusing solely on genuine threats like people or vehicles. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents, stopping an incident before it escalates. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, proactive network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX AI and proactive deterrent features to your current setup. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI intelligence without the cost of replacing every camera on your property, provided they meet the necessary technical standards for a wired connection.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. The first layer is Presence Simulation, our primary passive deterrent. It learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away—turning lights on and off in a natural sequence to make the property appear occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies important activity with 100% accuracy, even if a person is crawling or attempting to cover their figure. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries, scOS triggers Active Intervention. This includes instant illumination from smart lighting and escalating voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. These layers work together to ensure that criminals feel watched and exposed long before they reach your front door.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the AI analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to the cloud when necessary for remote access or advanced processing. Your data remains yours; we never sell your footage or personal information 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 secure app, ensuring your home's intelligence stays within your control.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that auto-detects your land lines. It distinguishes between a delivery driver and someone loitering near your side gate or garage. By the time a potential intruder reaches a position where a doorbell might see them, scOS has already simulated your presence, detected their approach, and issued a voice warning. It’s a comprehensive security ecosystem versus a single-point camera.

Lamberhurst’s position near the A21 makes it a gateway for transient crime, where criminals look for easy targets with quick access to major roads. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs every vehicle that enters your property. If a vehicle with a suspicious history or cloned plates is detected, you are alerted immediately. This proactive intelligence is vital for protecting homes in villages that serve as major thoroughfares, ensuring you are aware of any suspicious vehicles scouting the area.

Yes, scOS is ideal for the period properties common in Lamberhurst. Our professional UK installation team is experienced in working with historic buildings, ensuring that our wired systems are installed discreetly and with respect for the property's character. Because scOS can work with your existing cameras, we can often upgrade your security without the need for extensive new wiring or intrusive hardware, maintaining the aesthetic of your home while providing modern AI protection.

While Lamberhurst is a safe village, its desirability can attract unwanted attention. scOS provides a proactive deterrent that makes your home the least attractive option on the street. By combining Presence Simulation with active voice warnings, you create a 'hard target' that most opportunistic criminals will avoid. Whether you're enjoying a day at Scotney Castle or away on holiday, scOS provides the 24/7 vigilance you need to keep your home and family safe.
