Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your property being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime before it happens. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only. It recognises humans and vehicles with 99.9% accuracy, meaning zero false alarms. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it acts. By using external IoT speakers and automatic light responses, the system delivers escalating warnings to intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, often scaring them off before they even reach your front door. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a truly intelligent 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 process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video feeds locally before escalating critical data to our UK-based cloud for AI analysis. This means you don't need to strip out your existing investment to benefit from world-class AI protection, though we can also provide high-specification cameras if you're looking for a complete upgrade.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away, the system learns your typical habits and simulates human activity inside the home to make it appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection; unlike basic sensors, it recognises people regardless of whether they are crouching, wearing a mask, or trying to hide. Once a threat is identified crossing your property boundary, the third layer—Active Intervention—kicks in. The system triggers instant illumination and delivers authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. These responses are escalating; if the intruder persists, the warnings become more urgent. By combining the appearance of a busy home with immediate, intelligent feedback, scOS removes the 'easy target' status that criminals look for in Lee-on-the-Solent.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands that ship data to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. All video processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub. When the AI identifies a potential threat, only the relevant data is escalated to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres for further analysis. Your data remains yours; we never sell it to third parties or use it for advertising. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. Because we are a British company, we adhere to the strictest data protection laws in the world, ensuring your home's intelligence stays within the UK.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you someone is at the door, but often only after they've already pressed the button or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including side gates, driveways, and gardens. More importantly, doorbells are passive—they might send a notification to your phone, but they won't stop a criminal. scOS proactively intervenes with lights and voice deterrents. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and easily jammed; scOS uses professional wired connections for 24/7 reliability. It doesn't just show you who's there; it prevents them from being there in the first place.

Lee-on-the-Solent's coastal environment can be tough on electronics, with salt air and sea mist often causing false alarms on standard motion-sensing cameras. Our MotionX technology is designed to ignore environmental factors like mist, rain, and swaying coastal plants. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity'—human and vehicle movement. This ensures that your system remains reliable and accurate, providing clear protection for your seafront property without the annoyance of constant false alerts.

For residents who travel or have second homes in Lee-on-the-Solent, Presence Simulation is a game-changer. The AI learns how you use your home—when lights go on, which rooms are active—and replicates these patterns when you're away. This makes the property look occupied to anyone watching from the street, which is the most effective way to prevent a break-in. If someone does approach, the system's escalating voice deterrents will let them know the home is actively protected by an intelligent system.

With the influx of visitors to the seafront and HMS Daedalus area, vehicle security is a priority. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically logs the registrations of cars entering your driveway. It can distinguish between your family's cars and unknown vehicles. If a suspicious car lingers or enters your property, the system can alert you immediately. You can even ask scOS Director, 'Has there been any unknown car on the drive today?' for a quick security check.
