Traditional CCTV is passive—it records what happens and you review footage after a crime. scOS is intelligent and active. Using MotionX AI technology, it continuously monitors for criminal behaviour patterns like suspicious loitering, forced entry attempts, and theft techniques. The moment a threat is detected, scOS responds automatically in seconds with visible deterrents (lights, sirens) and alerts authorities. You're not just recording crime, you're preventing it.

Yes, scOS works with most wired IP cameras you already have installed. You don't need to replace your system. The Intelligence Hub connects to your existing cameras and instantly upgrades them with AI capabilities. If you need cameras, we offer professional installation, or you can self-setup if you're tech-confident. Either way, your investment in existing equipment is preserved and enhanced.

scOS uses three layers of protection. First, Presence Simulation creates the appearance someone's home even when you're away—lights activate in patterns, mimicking occupancy. Second, when MotionX detects suspicious activity, it immediately activates bright lights and loud sirens, startling criminals and drawing attention. Third, if a crime is already in progress, scOS automatically alerts emergency services and your phone with live video evidence. Criminals avoid properties with active response systems because the risk becomes too high.

Your footage is processed using both local processing on the Intelligence Hub and secure cloud infrastructure. All data is stored in UK data centres and protected under GDPR compliance. You maintain complete privacy and control over your footage. Local recording continues on the Intelligence Hub even if your internet connection is temporarily lost, though AI features require internet to function.

Video doorbells show you who's at your door—after they've arrived. scOS stops crime before it happens. While a doorbell is reactive, scOS is proactive: it monitors your entire property 24/7, detects suspicious behaviour patterns, and responds automatically. A doorbell might let you watch your home being burgled; scOS stops the burglary with active deterrents and emergency alerts. It's the difference between witnessing a crime and preventing one.

Milton Keynes experiences a crime rate of 112.3 per 1,000 residents—significantly higher than the national average of 91.7. Property crime is particularly concerning at 43.7 per 1,000, compared to the national average of 32.3. These statistics mean your home faces real risks: vehicles are targeted, garages are broken into, and burglaries happen. scOS is built specifically for high-crime areas like Milton Keynes, where active AI protection makes a measurable difference.

scOS detects and responds in seconds. When MotionX identifies suspicious activity, the system doesn't wait for you to act or for authorities to arrive—it immediately activates deterrents and sends you a live alert with video evidence. This speed is critical: criminals work fast, and a delayed response can mean a completed theft. Your Intelligence Hub analyzes video in real-time, making split-second decisions to protect your property.

MotionX AI is trained to distinguish between genuine threats and harmless activity. It recognizes criminal behaviour patterns—not just any movement. A cat walking past your camera won't trigger an alarm, but someone tampering with a door lock will. The system learns your property over time, reducing false alerts. You always get a live video alert to review, so if something unusual happens, you're informed and in control.

Professional installation ensures optimal camera placement, proper network setup, and perfect Intelligence Hub positioning for maximum coverage. If you're tech-confident and have existing properly-positioned cameras, self-setup is straightforward. Either way, scOS guides you through the process. Most customers choose professional installation to guarantee the system is set up for maximum protection, especially in high-crime areas like Milton Keynes.

The Intelligence Hub continues to record locally to its storage when internet is unavailable. However, AI monitoring features—threat detection, automatic response, and cloud alerts—require internet to function. As soon as your connection is restored, the system resumes full protection and processes any recorded footage. scOS is designed for reliable broadband areas; if connectivity is unreliable, discuss alternatives with our team.

scOS is simple and flexible. You pay per camera per day—starting from 63p/day per camera—with no minimum contract term. Add or remove cameras anytime, and you only pay for what you're actively protecting. No surprises, no hidden fees, no lock-in.
