Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records footage but doesn't stop a crime. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that acts as a digital guard for your property. The main difference is our MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity'—like a person approaching your home—while ignoring false alarms like wind, shadows, or pets. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't need you to set up complex motion zones; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with instant light responses and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they can act. It transforms your security from a witness into an active deterrent.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most existing wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional installation in Mansfield Woodhouse, our engineers will connect your current cameras to the scOS Intelligence Hub. This 'brain' upgrade turns your existing cameras into a proactive AI system, giving you features like person recognition and automated deterrents without needing to replace your hardware. We'll assess your current setup to ensure it's compatible, providing a cost-effective way to upgrade to the UK's most advanced AI home security using the equipment you already have.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your usual activity patterns when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they enter your land, even if they are trying to hide. Third is Active Intervention: the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates bright lights to let the intruder know they've been spotted. This escalating response is designed to make the criminal feel 'exposed,' forcing them to flee before they ever reach your home.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS uses a hybrid processing model where initial AI detection happens locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy. Data is only escalated to our secure, UK-based cloud for more complex analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. All your video and information are stored in high-security UK data centres, ensuring they stay under UK law. You have full control over your recordings via our app, with up to 14 days of 24/7 footage stored securely. We ensure your home is protected by advanced AI while keeping your personal data private.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often easily bypassed. In Mansfield Woodhouse, you need to protect your whole property, including driveways and back gardens. scOS uses professional-grade wired cameras that can't be jammed like WiFi doorbells and provides 360-degree intelligence. While a doorbell just sends a notification to your phone, scOS proactively stops intruders using voice and light deterrents. It’s a complete security system that prevents crime, whereas a doorbell is just a recording device that tells you someone was there after the fact.

Yes, scOS features Person Recognition, which allows the system to distinguish between family members and strangers based on their behaviour and patterns. This means you won't get alerted every time your children come home from school or your partner goes into the garden. However, if an unknown person enters your property, the system will immediately recognise them as a stranger and monitor their activity closely, triggering a deterrent response if their behaviour is suspicious. This intelligent filtering ensures you only get notified about genuine security concerns.

scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is a powerful tool for residents in Mansfield Woodhouse. The system automatically scans the number plates of any vehicle that enters your driveway and checks them against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is detected, scOS can immediately alert you and trigger a deterrent response. This proactive approach identifies potential threats before they even step out of their car, providing an extra layer of security for your vehicles and your home that standard CCTV simply cannot match.

scOS is designed to be incredibly user-friendly. You can interact with your system using 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask natural questions like 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' or 'When did the delivery arrive?' It’s like talking to a security guard who has watched your property 24/7. This makes managing your home security simple and intuitive, giving you the information you need instantly without any technical hassle.
