Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage for a police report. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just look for movement—it identifies 'important activity.' Unlike standard systems that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, MotionX ignores environmental noise and focuses on genuine threats. When a person is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. By using property boundary detection, the system knows exactly where your land starts and can trigger automatic light responses and voice deterrents to stop an intruder before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard that never sleeps.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to breathe new life into existing hardware. If you have a wired IP camera system (such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink), our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with it. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We transform your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network by offloading the processing to our local Hub and UK-based cloud. This means you don't need to rip out your existing infrastructure to benefit from world-class AI monitoring, boundary detection, and escalating responses. It’s a cost-effective way to upgrade to the highest level of home intelligence.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour—even if the person is hooded or trying to hide their figure. Finally, if an intruder crosses your property boundary, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This starts with instant illumination to let them know they've been spotted, followed by escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By combining the appearance of an occupied home with immediate, escalating consequences for trespassing, scOS makes your property a 'hard target' that criminals would rather avoid.

Privacy is at the core of scOS. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy, with essential escalations handled in secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your footage and personal information remain your property. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to 14 days and accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that home security shouldn't 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 stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from side gates to rear gardens. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop the crime before it happens. While a doorbell might record a thief, scOS uses escalating deterrents to drive them away before they even reach your entrance. It’s a comprehensive security ecosystem versus a single, limited-view camera. For true protection in Lower Willingdon, you need more than just a doorbell; you need a system that defends the perimeter.

Lower Willingdon is a peaceful village, but its proximity to Eastbourne and the A22 makes it accessible to opportunistic thieves. Sussex Police often have to prioritise high-density urban areas, meaning response times for rural or village property crimes can vary. scOS fills this gap by providing an immediate, automated response. Instead of waiting for a patrol, our system intervenes the second a boundary is breached. By deterring the intruder locally with lights and voice warnings, you significantly reduce the likelihood of a crime being completed, providing peace of mind even when police resources are stretched.

Many residents in Lower Willingdon commute via Polegate or work in nearby towns, leaving homes empty during the day. scOS is perfect for this lifestyle. Our Presence Simulation feature is specifically designed to make your home look active even when you're at the office or on the train. It doesn't just turn a light on a timer; it simulates human movement and activity patterns. Combined with the scOS Director, which allows you to ask natural questions like 'Has anyone been to the side gate today?' via the app, you can stay connected to your home's security no matter where your commute takes you.

Lower Willingdon properties often have beautiful gardens or back onto open land. Traditional motion sensors struggle with these environments, often being triggered by wildlife or wind-blown foliage. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically trained to ignore 'noise' like foxes, badgers, or swaying trees. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity'—specifically human presence and vehicle movement. This means you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a false alarm caused by a fox in the garden, but you will be alerted instantly if a person attempts to enter your property from the rear.
