Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with footage of a person in a mask. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands activity. It ignores the wind in the trees or a fox in the garden, focusing exclusively on important events like a person approaching your property. Instead of just watching, scOS intervenes. It uses AI to detect your property boundaries automatically and can trigger instant light and voice deterrents to stop an intruder before they even reach your door. There are no motion masks to draw and no false alarms to ignore—just intelligent, 24/7 monitoring that acts like a digital security guard for your home.

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 an intelligent AI system. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Hub, we can apply our MotionX intelligence and proactive deterrents to your current hardware. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the need to replace every camera on your property, provided they meet the necessary technical standards for wired connectivity.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal lighting and activity patterns to make the house appear occupied even when you're away. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies 'important activity' the moment someone enters your property, even if they are trying to hide their face or move stealthily. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just alert you; it reacts. It can instantly illuminate the area and deliver escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response signals to the intruder that they have been spotted by a system that is actively watching them, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many security companies that ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data and AI processing are handled by our UK data centres, and we are fully GDPR compliant. The system uses a hybrid approach: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for alerts or remote viewing. Your data belongs to you; we never sell it, and you have total control over who can access your footage. You get the benefit of high-end AI intelligence without compromising the privacy of your home or family.

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 is a comprehensive property intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses MotionX to detect threats long before they reach the door and employs active deterrents like voice warnings and presence simulation to prevent the crime from happening in the first place. Furthermore, scOS uses professional wired cameras which cannot be jammed like many wireless doorbell signals, ensuring your protection is constant and reliable regardless of your Wi-Fi strength.

Minehead's coastal environment can be tough on electronics, but scOS uses professional-grade, weather-sealed wired cameras designed to withstand the elements. More importantly, our MotionX AI is specifically trained to ignore the 'noise' of a coastal town—such as seagulls, blowing sand, or heavy rain—while remaining laser-focused on human activity. This ensures that your security remains reliable and free from false alarms, even during a winter storm or a busy summer weekend.

With property crime in Minehead higher than the national average, having a system that actively intervenes is crucial. scOS uses external IoT speakers to deliver AI-driven voice warnings. If someone enters your property late at night, the system can issue a firm, clear warning to let them know they are being monitored. This is far more effective than a simple siren, as it demonstrates that the property is protected by an intelligent system that has already identified the intruder.

Yes, scOS records 24/7 and stores up to two weeks of footage. This is particularly useful in Minehead, where you may want to review activity over a longer period. Because the system uses MotionX to index 'important activity,' you can quickly find the footage you need without scrubbing through hours of video. All footage is stored securely in our UK data centres and is easily accessible via the scOS app on your smartphone or tablet.
