Traditional CCTV is a passive recording tool; it’s a 'witness' that only helps after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent the crime from happening in the first place. The difference lies in our MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just movement. It ignores the false alarms common in Lewes—like seagulls, wind-blown foliage, or shadows—and identifies human threats with 100% accuracy. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it acts. It can automatically trigger external lights and voice deterrents from IoT speakers to warn intruders off. For residents in a historic town like Lewes, this means your home is actively defended 24/7, transforming your security from a simple camera into an intelligent, responsive guardian.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup and integrate it with the scOS Intelligence Hub. This upgrade gives your existing cameras the power of MotionX AI, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents. We prefer wired systems over wireless ones because they are immune to the Wi-Fi jamming devices that are becoming increasingly common among modern burglars. By using scOS, you can keep your existing hardware while gaining the most advanced AI protection available in the UK.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent system. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which is particularly effective for Lewes residents who may be away for work or travel. The system learns your home's lighting patterns and replicates them when you're away, making it look like someone is always home. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces the moment someone enters your property. The third layer is Active Intervention: if an intruder persists, scOS triggers escalating responses, including bright lights and voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This combination of looking occupied and responding intelligently to threats makes your home a much less attractive target for criminals.

We take your privacy very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data stays within the UK. Initial processing is done locally on your Intelligence Hub, and any data sent to the cloud is stored in secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app. This ensures that your home life remains private and your security data is protected by the highest standards of British data law.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary, including side gates, driveways, and back gardens. While a doorbell might show you a package being taken, scOS is designed to stop the thief before they even reach your porch. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and can be easily jammed or bypassed. scOS is a professionally installed, wired system that includes proactive deterrents like voice warnings and presence simulation, offering a level of security that a simple doorbell cannot match. In a town like Lewes, where property crime is above the national average, this comprehensive coverage is essential.

Lewes is famous for its Bonfire Night and other festivals that bring large crowds to the town. scOS is designed to handle high-footfall events without overwhelming you with alerts. Our MotionX AI can distinguish between people simply walking past on the pavement and someone who has actually entered your property boundary. During busy times, you can use 'scOS Director' to quickly check, 'Is there anyone on my driveway?' giving you peace of mind even when the town is at its busiest.

We understand that many homes in Lewes are historic or located in conservation areas. Our professional UK installation team is experienced in working with period properties, ensuring that wiring is discreet and the system's components, like the external IoT speakers and Intelligence Hub, are installed with respect for the building's character. Because scOS can work with your existing cameras, we can often upgrade your security without needing to install new, intrusive hardware on your home's exterior.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition. This is particularly useful for monitoring the narrow streets and private driveways of Lewes. The system can identify every car that enters your property and check it against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unknown registration pulls up, scOS can alert you immediately. This allows you to spot 'scouting' vehicles that might be casing the neighbourhood before they ever attempt a break-in.
