Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your property being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person lurking near your car—rather than just motion. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from the wind or spiders, scOS works out of the box, ignoring environmental noise while instantly recognising human threats. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents to stop the crime before it happens. It transforms your security from a post-incident record into a real-time digital guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with almost any existing wired IP camera system, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This 'brain' transforms your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI network. By leveraging your existing infrastructure, you can upgrade to world-class AI protection without the cost of replacing every camera. We prefer wired connections over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be defeated by the Wi-Fi jamming devices often used by modern burglars.

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—turning lights on and off in a natural sequence to make the house look occupied. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies people regardless of how they move or if they try to cover their faces with hoods or masks. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat crosses your property boundary, scOS triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to authoritative warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By detecting and challenging intruders the moment they step onto your land, scOS removes the element of surprise and forces them to move on.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who send footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. All initial intelligence processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub, with only critical escalations sent to our secure UK-based cloud data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data remains yours and is never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. You can access your data securely from anywhere in the world, knowing it is protected by British privacy standards and encrypted to the highest level.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your front door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a delayed sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including side gates, gardens, and driveways. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it reaches your door. While a doorbell might capture a package thief in the act, scOS identifies the intruder at the edge of your property and uses proactive deterrents to ensure they never get close enough to touch your mail or try your door handle.

Lydney's position on the edge of the Forest of Dean means your property likely sees a lot of wildlife. Traditional security systems are often plagued by false alarms from deer, foxes, or even large birds. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically trained to ignore animals and focus only on 'important activity'—human presence. This means you won't be bothered by notifications every time a creature wanders past your fence, but you will be alerted the second a person enters your property, ensuring your security is both quiet and effective.

The A48 is a major route through Lydney, and while convenient, it can also bring unfamiliar vehicles into residential areas. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically logs the registration plates of any vehicle that enters your driveway. The system can check these plates against the national database to flag suspicious or cloned vehicles. This provides an essential layer of intelligence for Lydney residents, allowing you to know exactly who is visiting your property and providing valuable data if any suspicious activity occurs.
