Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops the crime from happening in the first place. While traditional systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web or gust of wind, our MotionX technology focuses only on 'important activity.' It requires no motion masks or tripwires because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When it detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record—it intervenes with light and voice deterrents to scare intruders away before they reach your door. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them from 'dumb' recording devices into proactive AI sensors. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS ecosystem, you gain access to MotionX detection, presence simulation, and our escalating response protocols without needing to replace every piece of glass on your property, provided the image quality meets our AI's processing requirements.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home appear occupied to anyone scouting the area. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies 'important activity' the moment someone enters your property, even if they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their silhouette. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat persists, the system triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and activates instant illumination. This escalating response ensures that a criminal feels watched and exposed long before they attempt a break-in.

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 immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information stay yours. 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, ensuring your home's intelligence remains private and protected under British law.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a laggy notification. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front porch, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including side paths and rear gardens. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop the crime before the criminal even reaches the door. By the time a traditional doorbell would alert you, scOS has already detected the intruder, simulated your presence inside, and issued a voice warning to move them off your property.

While Martock enjoys a crime rate lower than the national average, this often makes Somerset villages a prime target for 'travelling' criminals who look for easy, unprotected targets in quiet areas. scOS ensures you don't become a statistic by maintaining a proactive vigil. Our presence simulation is particularly effective here, as it ensures your home never looks like an empty target, even if you're out for dinner in Yeovil or away on holiday. Prevention is always better than relying on a post-incident investigation.

scOS is perfect for the varied architecture of Martock. Our AI-driven property boundary detection automatically understands where your land ends and the public pavement begins, meaning no messy 'zones' to draw on an app. Whether you have a cottage on North Street or a modern home on the outskirts, the system adapts to your specific layout. Furthermore, our professional installation ensures that all wiring is discreet, preserving the aesthetic of your home while providing state-of-the-art AI protection.

scOS is designed to be a 'set and forget' system. You don't need to be a tech expert to use it. Our 'scOS Director' feature allows you to ask natural questions about your property, such as 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' or 'What time did the delivery arrive?' It’s like having a conversation with a security guard. This makes it incredibly accessible for residents who want high-end security without the complexity of traditional professional systems.
