Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime as it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime entirely. The core difference is our MotionX technology. Unlike standard cameras that are triggered by any movement—like birds or swaying trees in the Suffolk countryside—MotionX only alerts you to 'important activity.' It understands the human form and can recognise a person even if they are disguised or hiding. It requires no manual 'zones' because the AI automatically learns your property boundaries. Most importantly, scOS is active. It uses external IoT speakers and lighting to challenge intruders the moment they step onto your land, scaring them off before they can cause any damage.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. If you already have a camera system at your Little Eriswell home, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with it, instantly upgrading your 'dumb' cameras with world-class AI. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will perform a full assessment of your existing hardware. We always recommend wired systems over wireless ones, as they are far more reliable and cannot be defeated by the signal jammers often used by modern criminals. By integrating your existing cameras, we can provide a massive security boost with minimal disruption to your property.

scOS uses a powerful three-stage deterrent system. First is Presence Simulation: the AI learns your routine and mimics it when you're away—turning lights on and off inside to make the house look lived-in. This is the best way to stop a crime before it's even planned. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a threat the moment they cross your boundary, even in the dark. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder persists, scOS triggers external lights and delivers a clear, authoritative AI voice warning through external speakers. This escalating response is designed to make any criminal feel 'watched' and exposed, forcing them to abandon their attempt and move on to an easier target.

Your data security is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your video and personal data are stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a 'Local + Cloud' model: the scOS Intelligence Hub in your home processes the AI locally for speed and privacy, only sending data to our secure UK cloud when an event needs to be recorded or when you want to access your footage remotely. You have 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings, and you remain in total control of who can see your feeds.

A video doorbell only protects your front door and is purely reactive—it tells you someone is there, but it doesn't stop them. In a rural village like Little Eriswell, you need whole-property protection. scOS monitors your entire boundary, including back gardens and driveways. Unlike a doorbell, scOS is proactive; it uses MotionX to detect intruders early and then uses voice warnings and lights to drive them away. It’s a professional, wired system that doesn't suffer from the false alarms or battery issues common with consumer doorbells. While a doorbell is a simple gadget, scOS is a comprehensive security guard for your entire home.

Little Eriswell has an incredibly low crime rate, which is wonderful, but it can lead to a false sense of security. Opportunistic criminals often target quiet, low-crime areas because they expect residents to be less vigilant. scOS is designed to maintain that vigilance for you. Our system acts as a 24/7 virtual guard, ensuring that even in the quietest of villages, your property is actively protected. By stopping a potential intruder at the boundary, we ensure that your home remains part of the 'low crime' statistic. It’s about proactive prevention, ensuring that you never become the exception to the rule.

Being near RAF Lakenheath means there is often activity in the area, but scOS is smart enough to handle it. Our MotionX AI is specifically designed to ignore 'noise'—including the movement of aircraft or increased traffic—and focus only on activity that matters to your property. Furthermore, for residents who may be associated with the base and travel frequently, our Presence Simulation is an invaluable tool. It ensures your home looks occupied and active, even during long deployments or training exercises. scOS provides a level of intelligent, automated security that fits perfectly with the unique lifestyle of the Little Eriswell community.

Absolutely. We understand that residents in Suffolk value their privacy. scOS does not use facial recognition. Instead, we use 'Person Recognition' based on behaviour and gait. The system learns to distinguish between family members and strangers by how they move and interact with the property, rather than by scanning their faces. This provides high-level security and personalised alerts without the privacy concerns associated with biometric databases. Furthermore, because our Intelligence Hub processes data locally, your daily movements aren't being constantly uploaded to the cloud. You get the benefits of an intelligent, 'aware' home while maintaining total personal privacy.
