Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to intervene. Unlike traditional systems that trigger false alarms from wind or animals, MotionX is designed to detect 'important activity'—specifically human and vehicle movements. It understands your property boundaries automatically, so there's no need for manual setup. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action by triggering lights and delivering authoritative voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This proactive approach ensures that intruders are challenged the moment they step onto your land, often deterring them before they even reach your home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. Our Intelligence Hub is designed to transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a smart, proactive security network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will integrate your current cameras with the scOS system. This allows you to keep your existing hardware while upgrading to our advanced AI features like MotionX detection, person recognition, and escalating voice deterrents. It’s a cost-effective way to get state-of-the-art security without a full hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a three-tier deterrent strategy to protect your home. First is Presence Simulation; for Littlebourne residents who commute to Canterbury or London, the system learns your internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious activity with 100% accuracy, even if an intruder is wearing a mask or hood. Third is Active Intervention. If someone crosses your boundary, scOS triggers an escalating response, starting with instant illumination and followed by voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This combination of making the house look lived-in and providing an immediate response to trespassers is highly effective at deterring criminals.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in compliance with GDPR. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI analysis locally on your property, ensuring your data stays private and the system responds instantly. Data is only sent to our secure UK cloud for remote access or advanced processing. You have full control over your footage, and we never sell your data to third parties. Your 24/7 recordings are stored for up to two weeks and are accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only monitors your front door. It might show you a crime after it's happened, but it rarely prevents one. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary and detecting threats long before they reach your door. Unlike doorbells, scOS features active intervention, such as voice deterrents and presence simulation, which are designed to stop a crime in its tracks. For homes in Littlebourne, which often have larger plots and multiple entry points, a doorbell is simply not enough; you need the comprehensive, proactive protection that only scOS can provide.

Littlebourne's position on the A257 makes it accessible to opportunistic criminals travelling between Canterbury and the coast. scOS is specifically designed to handle this risk. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition identifies every vehicle that enters your property and checks its registration against the DVLA database to spot cloned plates or suspicious vehicles. If an unrecognised vehicle is detected, scOS can alert you immediately and even initiate a deterrent response. This level of intelligence is a powerful tool for Kent Police and helps ensure your home isn't a 'soft target' for those passing through the village.

Yes, scOS is ideal for protecting detached garages, sheds, and workshops. Our automatic property boundary detection allows the system to monitor your entire plot, not just the main house. MotionX technology is smart enough to ignore the local wildlife while remaining hyper-vigilant for human activity. If someone approaches an outbuilding, the system can trigger a specific voice deterrent in that area, such as 'You are trespassing; the police have been notified.' This ensures that your valuable tools, bikes, or equipment are protected by the same advanced AI as your home.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be user-friendly. Our scOS Director AI allows you to ask natural questions about your property, such as 'Has anyone been to the back gate today?' or 'What time did the delivery arrive?' It’s like having a conversation with a security guard. You don't need to be a tech expert to use the system; our professional UK installation team will set everything up for you and show you how to use the app. With 24/7 recording and easy access to footage, you can have peace of mind knowing your Littlebourne home is always protected.
