Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Midhurst
Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage for a police report. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands activity. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw 'motion masks' to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX works out of the box to identify human threats with zero false alarms. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. It uses automatic property boundary detection to trigger instant light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers, stopping an intruder before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.
Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning we can often transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI-driven network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes just 4 to 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This local hub processes the video feed using our MotionX AI, adding features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection to your existing setup without needing a total hardware overhaul.
scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: while you’re away, the system simulates human activity patterns inside your home, making it appear occupied to anyone watching. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies 'important activity'—it recognises people even if they are crouching, wearing masks, or trying to hide their silhouette. Finally, if someone crosses your property boundary, the system initiates Active Intervention. This starts with instant illumination and escalates to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By detecting the threat early and responding automatically, scOS removes the 'opportunity' that most criminals look for in Midhurst.
Privacy is at the core of scOS. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then securely backed up to our UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours and is never sold or accessed by third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible anywhere via our secure app. By combining local processing with secure UK cloud storage, we provide the perfect balance of high-speed AI intelligence and robust data privacy.
A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they’ve already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that auto-detects your land lines. It identifies suspicious behaviour—like someone loitering near your side gate or a vehicle with cloned plates on your driveway—long before they reach the front door. While a doorbell records a crime, scOS is designed to prevent it through escalating deterrents, making it a comprehensive security solution rather than just a digital peephole.
We understand that Midhurst is a historic town within the South Downs National Park, and aesthetics matter. Our professional UK installation team is experienced in working with period properties and listed buildings. We use discreet, high-quality wired cameras and IoT speakers that provide maximum protection without compromising your home's character. Because scOS is brand agnostic, we can often select hardware that blends seamlessly with your property's exterior while still delivering world-class AI intelligence.
Midhurst is a safe place to live, but Sussex Police data shows that property crime still occurs, often targeting high-value homes that appear 'soft' targets. scOS is designed to prevent complacency. Our AI doesn't just wait for a break-in; it learns the normal patterns of your home and alerts you to anomalies. By having a system that actively deters intruders with voice warnings and light responses, you ensure that your home remains the least attractive option for anyone scouting the area, maintaining the safety of your household.
Yes, scOS is ideal for larger properties or those with significant gardens common in the Midhurst area. Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, so there’s no need for complex manual setup. The system monitors the perimeter of your land, providing an early warning if someone enters your garden or approaches outbuildings. With our escalating response, a stranger wandering into your garden will be met with a polite but firm voice deterrent, often enough to turn them away before they get anywhere near your actual house.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
