Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your home being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. At its core is MotionX, a revolutionary detection engine that ignores the 'noise' that plagues standard systems—like the wind through the trees or shadows on your walls. Instead of simple motion, it identifies 'important activity,' recognising people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their figure. While your old system waits for a crime to happen, scOS uses its Intelligence Hub to detect threats the moment they cross your property boundary, triggering automatic light and voice responses to stop intruders before they reach your door. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have a high-quality wired IP camera system already installed at your Long Melford property—whether it's Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink—we can usually transform those 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent scOS network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we add layers of AI, such as DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, without the need for a total rip-and-replace. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI protection while leveraging the investment you’ve already made in your home’s infrastructure.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal touches a door handle. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your normal patterns and simulates human activity inside the house when you’re away, making the home appear occupied. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious behaviour at the very edge of your property, even if the intruder is wearing a mask or hood. Finally, the system initiates Active Intervention. If a threat persists, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver authoritative voice warnings and illuminates the area with instant light responses. This escalating response shows the intruder they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global brands that send your footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based cloud data centres for storage and complex AI analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data stays yours and is never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that home security should never come at the cost of your personal privacy.

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 slow PIR sensor. In contrast, scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back garden. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime, not just record it. While a doorbell might send a notification to your phone while you're busy, scOS automatically intervenes with voice deterrents and light responses. It’s a professional-grade security solution that protects the perimeter, whereas a doorbell only protects the 'last inch' of your home.

Long Melford’s famous High Street and antique shops attract many visitors, which can make it difficult to spot someone scouting your home. scOS uses 'Automatic Property Boundary Detection' to distinguish between people enjoying the village and someone lingering on your private land. It ignores the public footfall but instantly reacts if someone crosses onto your property. This allows you to live in the heart of the village without your security system being triggered by every passing tourist.

We understand that many homes in Long Melford are historic or listed. Our professional UK installation team is experienced in working with heritage properties, ensuring that our wired system is installed discreetly and with respect for the building's fabric. Because scOS is brand-agnostic, we can often use smaller, more aesthetic cameras that provide world-class AI protection without compromising the traditional look of your home. We focus on 'Invisible Protection' that keeps you safe while maintaining your property's character.

Long Melford residents often have valuable antiques or collections. scOS provides 'Activity Pattern Recognition,' which learns the normal behaviour around your home. If it detects an anomaly—such as someone checking windows or doors at an unusual time—it can trigger an immediate deterrent response. You can also use 'scOS Director' to ask natural questions like, 'Has anyone been near the back entrance today?' giving you instant peace of mind about your most precious belongings.
