Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your property being burgled but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web or gust of wind, our proprietary MotionX technology focuses only on 'important activity.' It requires no manual 'tripwires' or 'zones' because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries from the moment it is installed. When an actual threat is detected—someone lurking or approaching with intent—scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automated light responses and voice deterrents. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7, ensuring that Marham residents aren't just watching crime happen, but preventing it entirely.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can often transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a highly intelligent AI network. If you have a wired IP system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with them during our professional UK installation process. During our single-day install (typically 4-6 hours), our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it meets the technical requirements for MotionX processing. By leveraging your existing infrastructure, we can upgrade your home security to a proactive AI system without the need for a complete, costly overhaul of every camera, provided the wiring is sound and the resolution is compatible with our AI's detection needs.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy to stop criminals before they even reach your door. The first layer is Presence Simulation; when you're away, scOS learns your normal internal activity patterns and simulates them, making your home appear occupied to anyone watching from the street. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour—even if the person is wearing a mask or hood—without the false alarms common in older systems. Finally, if a threat is confirmed within your property boundaries, the system triggers an Active Intervention. This includes instant illumination from external lights and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. This proactive approach is designed to make a criminal realise they've been spotted and that the home is 'intelligent,' usually causing them to flee immediately.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy-first' approach to home intelligence. Unlike many consumer brands that send all your footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response, and only escalated to our secure UK-based cloud servers for storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your data with third parties. You maintain total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. Because we are a British company with British data centres, you can rest assured that your home's privacy is protected by the strictest data laws in the world, keeping your personal information safe and secure.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived, and often only after they've pressed the button. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, detecting threats at the perimeter before they ever reach your front door. Furthermore, doorbells are often reactive, sending you a notification while a crime is already in progress. scOS is proactive, using Presence Simulation and escalating voice deterrents to stop the crime from happening in the first place. For a village like Marham, where properties often have larger footprints or side access, a doorbell simply isn't enough to provide true security.

Not at all. MotionX is a revolutionary activity detection system that is specifically tuned to ignore environmental factors. While traditional PIR sensors or basic motion detection might be triggered by the vibrations or low-frequency noise of aircraft from RAF Marham, MotionX focuses on 'important activity'—specifically human and vehicle movement. It recognises the difference between a person walking up your drive and the swaying of trees or the vibration of a window. This means you get zero false alarms, even if you live directly under the flight path, ensuring that when you do get an alert, it’s something that actually requires your attention.

For military families or those who travel frequently, Presence Simulation is a game-changer. It doesn't just turn a light on and off on a timer; it uses AI to learn your household's actual habits and recreates them realistically. It might turn on the kitchen light, then the hallway, then a bedroom, mimicking someone moving through the house. This makes the property look genuinely lived-in, which is the single most effective way to deter 'casing' by burglars. Even if you are deployed or away for weeks, your home in Marham will appear as though you never left, providing unparalleled peace of mind.

In rural Norfolk, police response times can vary. This is why scOS's 'Active Intervention' is so critical. Rather than just recording a crime and waiting for the Norfolk Constabulary to arrive, scOS takes immediate action to end the incident. By using escalating voice warnings and instant lighting, the system forces the intruder to make a choice: stay and be identified, or leave immediately. In the vast majority of cases, the intruder chooses to flee. scOS effectively acts as your first line of defence, managing the situation in those crucial first minutes before any physical response could possibly arrive.
