Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian that intervenes before a break-in occurs. Our proprietary MotionX technology is the core difference—it doesn't just see 'motion' like spiders or wind-blown trees; it understands 'activity.' It recognises a person's behaviour, whether they are walking normally or trying to conceal themselves, with zero false alarms. While your old system might send you a notification for a passing cat, scOS ignores the noise and only acts when a genuine threat is detected on your Marple property. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a security guard who never sleeps.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can often transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI network. If you have a wired IP system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering our scOS Director AI over your existing cameras, you get all the benefits of proactive protection and DVLA vehicle recognition without needing to replace every piece of hardware you’ve already invested in for your Marple home.

We use a three-layer 'Escalating Response' strategy. First is Presence Simulation: scOS learns your internal lighting patterns to make your home look occupied even when you're out walking by the Roman Lakes or away for the weekend. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary—no manual zones required. Finally, if a threat persists, scOS triggers Active Intervention. This isn't just a notification; it’s instant illumination from external lights and authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By the time a criminal reaches your door, they’ve already been spotted, identified, and warned off by an intelligent system.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and then escalated to our secure UK data centres for cloud features. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that to feel truly secure in Marple, you need to know that your private life stays private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door—often when it's too late. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the canal-side edge. It uses DVLA vehicle recognition to spot suspicious cars and can detect covered faces before they even reach your house. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the intruder from ever stepping onto your porch in the first place.

While Marple currently enjoys an incredibly low crime rate, security is about maintaining that peace of mind. High-value areas with low crime can often become targets for sophisticated criminals who travel from further afield, banking on residents having relaxed security. scOS acts as a 'silent sentry,' ensuring that your home remains a hard target. It’s better to have a proactive system in place that prevents the first incident than to react after your property becomes a local statistic. Protection is about staying ahead of the curve.

For homes backing onto the canals or the Roman Lakes, traditional security can be tricky. scOS’s MotionX technology is perfect for these environments because it ignores the movement of water, swaying reeds, or local wildlife like ducks and swans. It only alerts you when it detects human activity patterns. This means you can secure your water-facing boundaries effectively without being plagued by false alerts, ensuring your Marple home is protected from every possible angle of approach.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security as if you were talking to a guard. You can ask, 'Director, was there any unusual activity near the garage last night?' or 'What cars have been on the driveway today?' It will provide natural language answers based on its analysis of the footage. For Marple residents, this means no more scrolling through hours of empty video; you get the information you need instantly, making home management simpler and more intuitive.
