Standard CCTV is a passive 'digital witness'—it records your property being burgled so you can watch the video later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop the crime before it happens. The key is our MotionX technology. Unlike traditional systems that trigger for every cat or swaying branch, MotionX ignores the noise and only alerts on 'important activity'—specifically human movement. It automatically detects your property boundaries without you needing to draw zones. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with escalating lights and voice warnings to drive the intruder away immediately. It’s the difference between recording a crime and preventing one.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional, wired IP cameras. If your Leiston home already has cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can transform them into an intelligent, proactive network. During our professional UK installation (4-6 hours), our engineers will assess your setup. We always recommend wired connections over wireless to ensure your system cannot be jammed, providing a reliable, professional-grade security upgrade that uses your existing infrastructure where possible.

scOS uses a three-tier 'Escalating Response' to stop criminals. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns when you're away. Second, MotionX detection identifies human threats the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they are wearing masks or hoodies. Third, Active Intervention uses external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and instant lighting. This sequence is designed to startle intruders and convince them they've been spotted by a resident, forcing them to flee before they can attempt a break-in.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all data is stored in secure UK data centres in compliance with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub processes most data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure cloud for advanced AI tasks or remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary and detecting intruders the moment they step onto your land. While a doorbell is easily ignored, scOS uses proactive measures like presence simulation and voice deterrents to stop crimes before they reach your door. For a home in Leiston, scOS offers professional-grade protection that a simple doorbell cannot match.

Many Leiston residents work shifts at Sizewell or in the local industrial sector, meaning homes are often empty at irregular hours. scOS is perfect for this. Our 'Presence Simulation' learns your specific activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home look occupied regardless of your shift schedule. Furthermore, our 'scOS Director' AI allows you to check in on your property with a simple natural language question when you finish your shift, giving you instant peace of mind.

Suffolk Constabulary is dedicated, but in coastal and rural areas, response times can vary. scOS acts as your immediate first line of defence. By using active deterrents like voice warnings and lights to scare off intruders the moment they are detected, scOS often stops a crime before it requires a police call-out. If an incident does occur, scOS provides high-quality, AI-filtered evidence, including vehicle registrations and clear human activity logs, which are far more useful for prosecution than standard CCTV footage.

Yes. One of the biggest issues with traditional CCTV in coastal areas like Leiston is false alarms from spiders, cobwebs, and sea mist. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically trained to ignore these 'non-important' movements. It focuses exclusively on human activity and behaviour. This means you won't be plagued by false notifications on your phone every time a spider crawls across the lens, but you will be alerted immediately if a person steps onto your property.
