Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. Our system uses MotionX technology, which doesn't just look for movement—it understands activity. Unlike old systems that require you to draw 'motion masks' to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX works out of the box to ignore irrelevant movement while instantly identifying human threats. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just send a notification; it intervenes. Through automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers, it challenges intruders before they reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate them. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Intelligence Hub, you gain access to our full suite of AI features, including MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive voice deterrents, without needing to replace your entire infrastructure. It’s the most cost-effective way to upgrade to world-class home intelligence.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal lighting and activity patterns to make the property appear occupied even when you're away, acting as a primary passive deterrent. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies 'important activity' with zero false alarms. It recognises people even if they are hooded, masked, or attempting to crawl. Third is Active Intervention. If an unauthorised person enters your property boundaries, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By challenging the intruder immediately, scOS removes the element of surprise and anonymity that criminals rely on.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours and is never sold to third parties. 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 access. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible anywhere in the world via our secure app. We provide the intelligence of a professional security team with the privacy of a local system.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a few metres in front of your door, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses AI to detect threats the moment they step onto your land, not just when they reach the entrance. Furthermore, doorbells rarely deter determined criminals. scOS proactively intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop a crime before it happens. It’s a comprehensive security solution versus a simple digital peephole.

For residents commuting from Narborough station or using the M1, leaving the home empty is a daily necessity. scOS's Presence Simulation is designed specifically for this. It doesn't just turn lights on a timer; it simulates realistic human activity patterns inside your home, making it look occupied to anyone watching from the street. If a suspicious vehicle enters your driveway, our DVLA-linked recognition checks the plate against the national database. If it's a known cloned plate or an unrecognised vehicle, scOS can alert you immediately and initiate deterrent protocols, ensuring your car and home are protected while you're at work.

Littlethorpe’s crime rate is below the national average, but its accessibility to major transport links makes it a target for 'in-and-out' thefts. Complacency is a burglar's best friend. scOS is designed to maintain a high level of vigilance without being intrusive. Our MotionX technology ensures you aren't bothered by false alarms from neighbours or pets, but it remains 100% focused on identifying genuine threats. By installing scOS, you are making your home the hardest target in the street, which is the most effective way to ensure you remain part of the low-crime statistics.

Yes, scOS is excellent at identifying suspicious behaviour, such as someone 'casing' a property. Our AI recognises patterns of activity that deviate from the norm. If a person or vehicle passes your home multiple times or lingers at the boundary, scOS Director allows you to ask natural questions like, 'Has any unrecognised vehicle been outside today?' The system can then flag these anomalies. By detecting this 'pre-crime' behaviour, scOS allows you to be proactive, perhaps by activating a voice warning to let the individual know they have been spotted, long before they attempt a break-in.
