Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is an active participant in your home's security, powered by our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on 'motion masks' and often trigger false alarms for spiders, wind, or shadows, MotionX focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It understands the difference between a swaying branch and a person approaching your property, even if they are trying to hide their shape or move stealthily. Because scOS is proactive, it doesn't just watch—it identifies threats in real-time and initiates an escalating response to deter intruders before they ever reach your door. This means zero false alarms for you and a genuine deterrent for criminals, transforming your security from a simple recording device into a 24/7 intelligent guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with it. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing 'dumb' cameras to the scOS Intelligence Hub, we transform them into a high-intelligence network capable of proactive boundary detection and vehicle recognition. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the need to replace every camera on your property, making it a cost-effective way to secure your home in Littlehampton with the latest technology.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to ensure criminals never see your home as an easy target. The first layer is Presence Simulation; our AI learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied by controlling internal lights and devices. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies 'important activity' the moment someone crosses your property boundary—even if they are wearing a mask or a hood. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, scOS initiates Active Intervention. This includes instant illumination from external lights and clear voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. Unlike a simple alarm, this escalating response tells the intruder they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee before any damage is done.

At scOS, we take your privacy as seriously as your security. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR regulations. Unlike many international brands, we never sell your data or allow third-party access for marketing. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the heavy lifting locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote alerts. You have full control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. You can access your data at any time from anywhere in the world, knowing it is protected by British privacy standards.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you who is at the door, but it rarely stops a determined criminal from targeting your home. scOS provides whole-property intelligence that monitors your entire boundary, not just the front step. While a doorbell might alert you to a package delivery, scOS is busy identifying suspicious vehicles using DVLA recognition and spotting individuals attempting to conceal their faces in your garden. Because scOS uses professional wired cameras rather than Wi-Fi, it cannot be jammed by tech-savvy burglars. It offers a proactive, escalating response that stops crime before it happens, whereas a doorbell often only provides a video of the crime after the fact. For residents in Littlehampton, scOS offers the comprehensive protection a doorbell simply cannot match.

With property crime rates in Littlehampton significantly higher than the national average, identifying suspicious behaviour early is critical. scOS features Covered Face Detection, which specifically flags individuals wearing balaclavas, masks, or hoods pulled tight to hide their identity. When the AI detects such concealment on your property, it immediately escalates the response, activating lights and voice warnings to let the intruder know they have been spotted. This proactive approach is designed to stop anti-social behaviour and potential break-ins before they escalate.

scOS is an 'always-on' system that records 24/7, storing up to two weeks of high-quality footage. In a high-crime area like Littlehampton, having reliable evidence is essential for police investigations. Because our system uses wired connections, you never have to worry about batteries dying or Wi-Fi dropping out at a crucial moment. You can access this footage instantly through the scOS app, and our scOS Director AI can help you find specific incidents in seconds by simply asking a question.

scOS is designed to be a complete deterrent. Our Active Intervention layer uses external IoT speakers to deliver clear, authoritative voice warnings. If someone enters your property boundary, the system can say, 'You are being monitored by scOS AI security. Please leave the area.' If they persist, the warnings become more urgent. This direct interaction is far more effective than a simple siren, as it demonstrates to the criminal that they are being watched by an intelligent system that is tracking their every move.
