Traditional CCTV systems are passive—they record what happens after a crime occurs. scOS is proactive. Our Intelligence Hub uses advanced AI to monitor your cameras 24/7, detecting suspicious behaviour and patterns human security guards would miss. If a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record it—MotionX triggers immediate intervention through our smart speakers and lighting system, creating an active deterrent in seconds. Your existing CCTV becomes a powerful crime-prevention tool instead of just evidence after the fact.

Yes! scOS works with most wired IP cameras already installed in UK homes. Our Intelligence Hub integrates with standard camera systems, so you don't need to replace working equipment. Whether you have 1, 2, or 8 cameras, scOS will enhance them with AI-powered monitoring. If you're starting fresh or need specific camera recommendations for your property, our professional installation team can advise on the best setup for your Lewisham home.

scOS deters crime through three powerful layers. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied when you're away—lights and sounds create the illusion someone's home, a proven deterrent. Second, MotionX uses AI to detect suspicious behaviour in real-time. Third, if a threat is detected, scOS triggers Active Intervention—flashing lights, audible warnings through smart speakers, and alerts to your phone—all within seconds. Criminals target homes where they can operate unseen. scOS removes that opportunity.

Your camera feeds and data are processed and stored in UK data centres, complying with GDPR and the Data Protection Act. You maintain full ownership and control of your footage. We never sell or share your data with third parties. Your privacy is built into scOS from the ground up, with all processing happening securely within the UK.

A video doorbell shows you who's at your door—but only after they arrive. scOS stops crime before it happens. While a doorbell is reactive, scOS is preventive. It monitors your entire property 24/7 using AI to detect threats across all angles, not just your entrance. scOS deters intruders through Presence Simulation and Active Intervention, whereas a doorbell simply alerts you after someone's already there. For comprehensive home protection in Lewisham, scOS protects your whole home, not just your front door.

The Intelligence Hub is a small, discreet device installed at your property that powers all of scOS's AI features. It's the brain of your system, processing camera feeds, detecting threats, and triggering smart home integrations in real-time. Most homes in Lewisham have it installed in a hallway, utility room, or loft—anywhere with a power connection and broadband access. You can opt for professional installation (we handle everything) or self-setup if you're tech-confident. Either way, it's designed to be invisible to visitors.

Professional installation is available for Lewisham residents and handles all setup, camera integration, and smart home configuration—you'll be fully protected the same day. If you're tech-confident and have existing wired cameras already in place, self-setup is an option. Our support team guides you through the process. Most customers prefer professional installation for peace of mind, especially in Lewisham where property crime is a priority.

scOS detects suspicious behaviour and triggers intervention in seconds. When MotionX identifies a threat, Active Intervention activates immediately—lights strobe, alarms sound through smart speakers, and you get an instant alert on your phone. This rapid response is critical; most burglars spend less than a minute at a property. By responding within seconds, scOS disrupts their opportunity window and forces them to leave.

During an internet outage, your cameras continue to record footage locally on the Intelligence Hub. However, AI-powered features like threat detection and Active Intervention won't work until your connection is restored. This is why a reliable broadband connection is essential for full scOS protection. If internet reliability is a concern for your Lewisham property, discuss this with our installation team—they can advise on the best setup for your area.
