Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that aims to stop the crime from happening in the first place. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity.' It recognises human movement patterns—even if someone is crawling or wearing a mask—and ignores environmental noise. This means zero false alarms. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. When a threat is detected, the system can automatically trigger external lights and escalating voice warnings from IoT speakers to deter the intruder before they ever touch your door or windows.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with almost any professional-grade wired IP camera, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. We believe in transforming 'dumb' cameras into intelligent assets. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video locally before escalating specific events to our secure UK cloud for deeper analysis. This approach allows you to upgrade your home security to world-class AI standards without the need to replace all your existing wiring or hardware.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal lighting and activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary—no matter how they try to hide their shape or face. Third is Active Intervention. If an intruder persists, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination of external lights and moves to clear, AI-generated voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By challenging the intruder early and making it clear they are being monitored by an intelligent system, scOS forces them to leave before a break-in occurs.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub in your home handles the initial 'local' processing of video feeds. Only when the AI identifies a potential security event is the relevant data escalated to our UK cloud for advanced analysis. You retain full control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. We never sell your data, and our system is designed so that your private life remains private, focusing only on security threats.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your front door, often after they've already pressed the button or triggered a sensor. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, including side paths, back gardens, and driveways. More importantly, doorbells rarely deter a determined criminal; they just record them. scOS proactively intervenes using presence simulation and voice deterrents to stop a criminal before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a digital security guard watching every corner of your home 24/7.

Lydd’s coastal location on the Romney Marsh means equipment is often exposed to harsh winds and salt air. While scOS is the 'brain' of the system, we recommend and install high-quality, weather-sealed wired cameras that are built to withstand coastal environments. Because our system uses wired connections rather than Wi-Fi, you don't have to worry about signal interference from the weather or the flat, open landscape of the Marsh.

Lydd can feel isolated, especially at night. scOS features 'Covered Face Detection,' which is specifically designed to flag suspicious behaviour such as individuals wearing balaclavas, hoods, or masks on your property. In an area where help might be further away, having a system that immediately recognises and challenges suspicious concealment provides an essential layer of safety and early warning.

Kent Police cover a wide area, and response times in the Marsh can vary. scOS acts as your immediate first responder. By using escalating voice warnings and lighting, the system often scares off intruders before they can cause damage. If an incident does occur, our 24/7 recording and AI-filtered event logs provide Kent Police with high-quality, relevant evidence, making it much easier for them to identify and track suspects.
