Traditional CCTV systems are passive—they only record footage for later review by police. scOS is intelligent and active. Our MotionX AI analyzes every frame in real-time, detecting threats as they happen. When someone loiters, breaks patterns, or approaches your property suspiciously, scOS doesn't just record it—it responds. Our system simulates occupancy to deter intruders, alerts you instantly with context-aware notifications, and can trigger professional intervention. While CCTV gives police evidence after a crime, scOS prevents the crime from happening in the first place.

Yes, scOS works with most wired IP cameras already installed on your property. Our Intelligence Hub connects to your existing infrastructure and adds AI-powered monitoring capabilities without requiring a complete system overhaul. Whether you have traditional IP cameras or modern smart cameras, scOS can integrate with them to provide real-time threat detection and response. During professional installation, our team assesses your current setup and optimizes it for maximum coverage and AI effectiveness.

scOS uses three integrated layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation makes it appear someone is home even when you're away—lights respond to activity, routines simulate occupancy patterns, and intelligent displays activate when threats approach. Second, MotionX detects suspicious behavior in real-time, immediately alerting you and triggering audible warnings that make criminals know they've been spotted and caught on camera. Third, Active Intervention connects you to professional response teams who can communicate through your external IoT speakers, contact authorities, or take immediate action when required. This multi-layered approach stops criminals at every stage: before they approach, as they attempt entry, and during any incident.

All your data is processed and stored in UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR and UK data protection regulations. Your privacy is paramount—we never sell data, share it with third parties, or use it for anything beyond protecting your property and providing you with insights. Video footage is encrypted in transit and at rest. Our system prioritizes local processing on your Intelligence Hub, with cloud processing used only when necessary for advanced analysis. You maintain complete control over your data and can delete any recordings at any time.

Video doorbells are reactive devices that show you who's at your door—but by then, someone is already on your property. scOS is proactive and covers your entire home. A doorbell only watches one entry point and depends on you responding quickly; scOS monitors all angles, detects threats approaching from any direction, and responds automatically before anyone reaches your door. scOS deters criminals through presence simulation and AI detection, while a doorbell merely shows you an intruder's face after they've already arrived. For serious home protection, you need comprehensive AI monitoring, not just a camera at the door.

Professional installation includes a site survey to optimize camera placement for AI effectiveness, installation of the Intelligence Hub at the ideal location in your property, integration with existing cameras, configuration of presence simulation routines based on your lifestyle, security testing, and full training on using the system. Our technicians ensure all components work seamlessly together and your AI-powered protection is immediately active. For tech-confident users, self-setup is also available with comprehensive guides and customer support.

scOS detects and responds to threats in seconds. When MotionX identifies suspicious behavior, our system instantly triggers presence simulation responses, sends you real-time alerts with video evidence, and can initiate professional intervention within seconds. This rapid response is crucial—most burglaries happen fast, and the difference between a 30-second and 5-second response can be the difference between prevention and crime. Our system's speed is what makes active deterrence possible.

Absolutely. Liverpool's crime rates are 45% above the national average, making active security essential rather than optional. scOS is specifically designed for high-crime areas where passive CCTV isn't sufficient. The combination of AI monitoring and active intervention directly addresses property crime, burglary patterns, and theft—the categories most prevalent in Liverpool. Properties using scOS see significantly reduced crime incidents because criminals know their behavior is being watched and recorded in real-time.

scOS requires an active internet connection for its AI intelligence features to function. If your internet goes down, your cameras will continue local recording on the Intelligence Hub, but real-time threat detection, presence simulation, and professional response won't be available until connection is restored. We recommend a reliable broadband connection for optimal protection. Most users experience consistent connectivity without issues, but for maximum peace of mind, consider a secondary router or mesh network system.

Yes, you can access live video feeds and recorded footage from anywhere using the scOS app. Whether you're at work, on holiday, or across the world, you have instant access to what's happening at your property. The app provides real-time alerts with video evidence, allowing you to monitor your home and respond to threats immediately. All footage is encrypted and secure, ensuring your privacy while giving you complete visibility and control over your property.
