Most CCTV systems in Martlesham Heath are passive, meaning they only record footage for you to look at after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. It uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—meaning it knows the difference between a delivery driver and someone scouting your property. It doesn't need motion masks; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When an intruder is detected, scOS takes action with automatic lighting and voice warnings from external speakers, deterring them before they ever reach your home. It’s active protection, not just a recording.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, or Axis. If you already have a system installed at your Martlesham Heath property, we can often upgrade it by connecting it to our Intelligence Hub. This adds AI capabilities to your existing hardware. Our professional UK installers will perform a full assessment during the 4-6 hour installation process to ensure your cameras are positioned for optimal AI performance, prioritising wired connections for maximum security against jamming.

scOS deters criminals using three powerful layers. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns while you're away. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour and person recognition, even if the individual is wearing a mask or hood. Third, if someone enters your property, the system initiates an escalating response: instant bright lights followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, AI-driven intervention is usually enough to make any criminal abandon their attempt and move on.

We take data privacy very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK-based data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike many other smart home companies, we never sell your data. Most of the intelligence processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub, with only essential data escalated to the cloud. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app from anywhere.

A video doorbell is a great start, but it only monitors your front door and is often reactive. In Martlesham Heath, where property crime rates are significantly higher than the national average, you need whole-property protection. scOS monitors your entire perimeter, including side gates, gardens, and driveways. While a doorbell might show you a thief at your door, scOS is designed to stop them from getting that far by using proactive voice deterrents and automated lighting the moment they step onto your land.

Martlesham Heath's high property crime rate requires a system that can distinguish between the high footfall from the nearby retail park and a genuine threat. scOS uses MotionX to ignore the 'noise' of distant traffic or people on public footpaths, focusing only on activity within your property boundaries. This ensures that despite the busy local environment, you aren't plagued by false alarms, but you are instantly alerted if someone shows suspicious interest in your home or vehicles.

Yes, scOS is excellent for vehicle protection. It features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which can identify the registration plates of cars entering your driveway. If a vehicle with cloned or suspicious plates is detected, the system can alert you immediately. Given the proximity to major roads like the A12, this is a vital feature for Martlesham Heath residents looking to protect high-value vehicles from organised theft gangs who often use cloned plates to avoid detection.

The scOS Director is a conversational AI that lets you interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask questions like, 'Was there anyone near the garage last night?' or 'Has the gardener arrived yet?' This makes managing your home security as easy as talking to a person. For residents in a tech-forward area like Martlesham Heath, this provides a sophisticated, user-friendly way to stay informed about your property's safety without having to scroll through hours of footage.
