Standard CCTV is a recording device; it captures footage of a crime for later review. scOS is an active intelligence system designed to stop the crime before it happens. The key is our MotionX technology. Most systems use basic motion detection that triggers for everything from spiders to wind, leading to 'alert fatigue.' MotionX is different; it identifies 'important activity' only. It automatically detects your property boundaries and recognises human movement, even if an intruder is crawling or trying to hide their shape. This results in zero false alarms. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it intervenes. It uses automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they've been spotted, often stopping a break-in before they even reach your door.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras. If you already have a system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, we can likely transform it into a proactive scOS system. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will connect your existing cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the AI locally, turning your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. We prefer wired connections over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed. We will assess your current hardware during the installation process to ensure it meets the requirements for our advanced AI monitoring.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your Maple Cross home safe. The first layer is Presence Simulation. The system learns your home's normal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making it look like someone is always home. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious human activity the moment someone enters your property, even if they are wearing a mask or hoodie. The third layer is Active Intervention. If the AI confirms a threat, it triggers instant external lighting and escalating voice warnings via external speakers. These aren't two-way audio clips; they are AI-driven warnings that inform the intruder they are being monitored and their description has been logged. This immediate response is designed to make criminals feel exposed and flee.

Your data privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres and support teams are located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant. Your data is processed using a 'Local + Cloud' model: the Intelligence Hub in your home handles the initial AI analysis, and only critical data is escalated to our secure UK cloud. We never sell your data to third parties; it belongs entirely to you. You have 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recorded footage through our secure app. This ensures your security system is fast, reliable, and respects your privacy, keeping your home's data under the protection of UK law.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. It tells you someone is there, but it rarely prevents a crime. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. It monitors your entire boundary, not just the entrance. While doorbells are often wireless and can be easily jammed or stolen, scOS uses a professional, wired installation for maximum reliability. Most importantly, scOS is proactive. A doorbell might alert you while someone is already at your door, but scOS uses MotionX and active intervention to stop them at the edge of your property. It doesn't just show you a video of a crime; it prevents the crime from happening in the first place.

Maple Cross’s proximity to the M25 makes it a prime target for 'commuter crime,' where burglars use the motorway for a quick escape. scOS addresses this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition. Our AI reads the number plates of any vehicle entering your property and checks them against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is detected, the system can alert you immediately. It also learns your family's vehicles, so it won't trigger for you, but it will be hyper-vigilant against unknown cars loitering near your home. This is a vital layer of protection for homes near major transport links.

scOS is designed to be highly effective even if an intruder tries to hide their identity. Our MotionX technology doesn't rely on facial recognition; instead, it recognises human shapes and movement patterns. It can identify a person even if they are wearing a balaclava, a hoodie, or a mask. If the system detects someone with a covered face acting suspiciously on your property, it immediately flags this as a high-priority threat. This triggers an escalating response, including instant lighting and voice warnings, ensuring that even the most prepared criminals are deterred by the knowledge that they have been spotted and are being tracked by an intelligent system.

Managing your security is easy with 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask natural questions like, 'Was there any suspicious activity last night?' or 'Show me when the delivery driver arrived.' It’s like having a conversation with a security guard who has watched every second of your footage. This makes it incredibly simple to stay informed about your home's security without any technical hassle. Whether you're at work or on holiday, you can get the answers you need in seconds, giving you total peace of mind.
