Traditional CCTV is a passive witness that only helps after a crime has occurred, but scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on "motion detection" that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, scOS uses MotionX technology. This revolutionary AI focuses only on "important activity," meaning it ignores cobwebs, spiders, and weather, resulting in zero false alarms without the need for complex motion masks. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes. It automatically detects your property boundaries and uses escalating responses to deter intruders before they can cause damage, transforming your security from a simple recording device into a 24/7 digital security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic and can transform your existing "dumb" cameras into an intelligent security network. Our system is compatible with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it meets the necessary specifications. By integrating your existing cameras with our Intelligence Hub, you gain all the benefits of MotionX detection and proactive AI monitoring without needing to replace your entire hardware setup, making it a cost-effective way to upgrade to world-class home intelligence.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals before they even reach your door. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and simulate them while you're away, making the property appear occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour and recognises people even if they are hooded or masked. Finally, if a threat is detected, scOS initiates Active Intervention. This involves instant illumination of the area and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. This proactive approach ensures that intruders are identified and challenged long before they can attempt a break-in.

At scOS, we take your privacy as seriously as your security. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located right here in the UK. Our system is fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours and is never sold to third parties. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles initial detection locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. You have complete control over your footage, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure platform.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. In contrast, scOS provides comprehensive property intelligence that stops crime before it happens. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that understands the difference between a delivery driver and a potential intruder. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS protects your whole perimeter, not just the front door. It’s the difference between seeing a package thief and preventing them from ever stepping onto your driveway.

For Mayland residents with waterfront properties or boat moorings, security is a unique challenge. scOS is perfectly suited for this, as our AI-driven MotionX technology can distinguish between the natural movement of water or boats and the "important activity" of a person on your jetty or property. The system's automatic boundary detection can be set to monitor your waterfront access, triggering deterrents if someone approaches from the estuary. This provides a level of protection that standard PIR-based systems, which are often triggered by reflections or movement on the water, simply cannot provide.

The salt air in coastal areas like Mayland can be tough on electronics. That's why scOS uses professional-grade, weather-sealed wired cameras designed to withstand harsh environments. Unlike cheap wireless cameras that can corrode or lose signal, our systems are built for longevity and reliability. Our professional UK installation team ensures that all equipment is securely mounted and all cabling is protected, providing you with a robust security solution that will stand up to the Essex coast's unique conditions for years to come.

Mayland is a quiet village, and residents often spend time away, whether for work or leisure. Our Presence Simulation feature is designed to make your home look occupied even when you're not there. It uses AI to learn your actual living patterns—when you're in the kitchen, when you're in the lounge—and replicates them realistically. This is far more effective than simple light timers, as it creates a convincing "lived-in" look that deters criminals who might be watching the street for empty houses. You can also check in on your home anytime via the app for total peace of mind.
