Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. Our system uses MotionX technology, which doesn't just look for movement—it understands activity. Unlike old systems that require you to draw 'motion masks' to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX works out of the box to ignore irrelevant movement while instantly identifying human threats. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just send a notification; it intervenes. Through automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers, it challenges intruders before they reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate them. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Intelligence Hub, you gain access to our full suite of AI features, including MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive voice deterrents, without needing to replace your entire infrastructure. It’s the most cost-effective way to upgrade to world-class home intelligence.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal lighting and activity patterns to make the property appear occupied even when you're away, acting as a primary passive deterrent. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies 'important activity' with zero false alarms. It recognises people even if they are hooded, masked, or attempting to crawl. Third is Active Intervention. If an unauthorised person enters your property boundaries, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By challenging the intruder immediately, scOS removes the element of surprise and anonymity that criminals rely on.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours and is never sold to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the heavy lifting locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible anywhere in the world via our secure app. We provide the intelligence of a professional security team with the privacy of a local system.

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 is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a few metres in front of your door, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses AI to detect threats the moment they step onto your land, not just when they reach the entrance. Furthermore, doorbells rarely deter determined criminals. scOS proactively intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop a crime before it happens. It’s a comprehensive security solution versus a simple digital peephole.

Lavenham is one of the safest villages in Suffolk, but this can lead to a dangerous level of complacency. Rural areas are often targeted by organised groups who know that police response times can be longer and that residents may have older, passive security systems. scOS provides a modern, proactive shield that ensures you don't become an easy target. By being the most technologically advanced home on the street, you effectively divert criminal interest elsewhere. We provide the peace of mind that your historic home is protected by the future of security technology.

We understand that many homes in Lavenham are historic or timber-framed, requiring a sensitive approach to installation. Our professional UK installation team is experienced in working with heritage properties. We use wired connections for maximum reliability and security, but we take great care to hide cabling and place cameras discreetly so as not to detract from your home's character. Because scOS is brand-agnostic, we can also help you select camera hardware that is visually appropriate for a period property while still delivering high-definition AI monitoring.

Suffolk Constabulary does an excellent job, but in rural areas, they cannot be everywhere at once. scOS acts as your first line of defence. By identifying an intruder at the boundary and using voice deterrents to challenge them, the system often stops a crime before it even requires a police call-out. If an incident does occur, our 24/7 recording and AI-powered search (scOS Director) allow you to provide the police with clear, relevant evidence in seconds, significantly increasing the chances of a successful investigation.
