Traditional CCTV systems are purely passive - they record footage while criminals do what they want, and you only discover the theft hours or days later. scOS uses AI monitoring through its Intelligence Hub to watch your cameras in real-time, detecting suspicious behaviour as it happens. When a threat is detected, scOS responds automatically and immediately. If someone approaches a door looking for a break-in opportunity, MotionX light pulses trigger, creating the sense of presence and deterring them before they act. Unlike old CCTV that sits and records, scOS actively stops crime in progress.

Yes. scOS works with most wired IP cameras already installed in Leicester homes. You don't need to rip out and replace working equipment. The Intelligence Hub connects to your existing cameras and immediately transforms them into an AI-powered security system. This makes scOS incredibly cost-effective - you keep your current setup and add intelligent monitoring on top. Our team can assess your cameras during a free consultation to confirm compatibility.

scOS uses three complementary layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied at all times, making it a poor target - burglars avoid homes that look lived-in. Second, MotionX lights trigger intelligently when motion is detected near entry points, creating an immediate visible response that startles intruders and signals the property is protected. Third, if those layers don't deter the threat, scOS enables active intervention - through communication with responders or integrated systems - to actively stop the crime. This three-layer approach turns your home into a hard target that criminals move past.

Your footage and data are stored securely in UK data centres, and scOS operates fully in compliance with GDPR. We never sell your data or use it for facial recognition. Your privacy is built into scOS from day one. All processing happens either locally on the Intelligence Hub or in secure UK facilities - never shared with third parties or sent overseas.

A video doorbell shows you who's at your door after they've already arrived - useful for verification, but it doesn't stop crime. scOS monitors your entire property continuously and detects threats before they reach your door. A doorbell is reactive; scOS is proactive. While a doorbell records someone's face, scOS stops them from breaking in using behaviour-based detection, presence simulation, and active intervention. scOS protects your whole home, not just your front entrance.

The Intelligence Hub is a small device installed at your Leicester property that powers all of scOS's AI features. It connects to your existing cameras and continuously analyses what they see, detecting suspicious behaviour in real-time. When a threat is identified, it coordinates the response - triggering MotionX lights, alerting you, or enabling active intervention. The Hub is the brain of your security system, running AI analysis locally while also leveraging cloud processing for advanced threat detection. Most users find it fits discreetly in a utility cupboard or similar space.

Yes. We offer professional installation for Leicester properties, or if you're tech-confident, you can self-setup. Our installation team will ensure the Intelligence Hub and any new components are integrated seamlessly with your existing cameras and home network. During installation, we'll also test your system and show you how to use the scOS app to monitor your home. We can discuss installation options when you enter your details below.

scOS detects and responds in seconds. When motion is detected near a vulnerable entry point, AI analysis happens in real-time, and MotionX lights trigger immediately if a threat is identified. This speed is critical - most burglaries happen quickly, and scOS's rapid response is what stops them. The difference between a delayed response and a few-second response is the difference between a crime prevented and a crime committed.

scOS requires an active internet connection for its AI monitoring and intervention features to work. If your internet is down, the Intelligence Hub will continue recording locally, but AI threat detection and response won't function until your connection is restored. We recommend a reliable broadband connection and can discuss backup solutions during your consultation. Most Leicester properties with modern broadband have excellent uptime.

scOS is priced per camera, starting from 63p per day. The exact cost depends on the number of cameras you want to protect and any professional installation services. When you enter your email below, we'll provide a personalised quote for your Leicester property based on your specific setup.
