Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records what happens. scOS is proactive. It uses MotionX AI to distinguish between 'important activity' (like a person on your property) and 'noise' (like wind or animals). Unlike other systems, scOS doesn't require you to draw motion zones; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When it detects a threat, it doesn't just record; it intervenes. Using external IoT speakers and lights, it delivers voice warnings to deter intruders before they even reach your home. It’s a complete security solution that acts as a digital guard for your property.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, we can integrate your existing cameras into our Intelligence Hub. This 'brain-trains' your current hardware, giving it the full power of our MotionX AI and proactive deterrent features. We prefer wired systems because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed like wireless cameras. We will assess your existing setup to ensure it can be fully transformed into an intelligent scOS system.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your internal lighting patterns to make your home look occupied when you're out. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies human threats instantly, even if they are trying to hide their face. Third is Active Intervention: if someone crosses your boundary, scOS uses external speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates lights. This escalating response is designed to stop a crime before it starts, making it clear to any intruder that your home is protected by an active, intelligent system.

Your data privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub on your property handles local processing for speed and privacy, only using the cloud for advanced AI tasks and remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers your front door. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell might show you someone at the door, scOS monitors your entire boundary and intervenes before they even get there. It can detect suspicious behaviour, like covered faces, and use voice warnings to stop a crime in progress. For residents in Milton, where property crime rates are high, the comprehensive coverage and proactive intervention of scOS offer far superior protection than a simple doorbell.

Milton's proximity to the Cambridge Science Park and the A14 makes it a target for professional burglars. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition feature is perfect for this. It automatically scans the registration plates of vehicles near your property and checks them against the national database. This can help identify cloned plates or vehicles that have been seen scouting the area. You can even use the scOS Director AI to ask, 'What cars have been outside today?' and get a detailed report, giving you peace of mind in a high-risk area.

Yes, scOS is perfect for Milton residents who work at the Science Park or commute. Our Presence Simulation AI doesn't just use simple timers; it learns your actual habits and mimics them realistically. This makes your home look lived-in 24/7. If someone does approach while you're away, the system's proactive deterrents—lights and voice warnings—will act on your behalf. You'll receive an instant notification on your phone, and you can even use the scOS Director AI to ask for a summary of activity while you were gone.

scOS is designed for maximum reliability. Unlike wireless systems that can be easily disabled with a 'jammer,' scOS uses wired connections. This ensures that your cameras and sensors are always communicating with the Intelligence Hub. Even if your internet goes down, the local processing in the Hub continues to monitor your property and can still trigger local deterrents like lights and voice warnings. This 'hard-wired' approach is the gold standard for security, providing peace of mind that your system is always active.
