Traditional CCTV is passive; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive AI system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' rather than just simple motion. This means no more false alarms from the wind or animals in your garden. When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record—it intervenes. Using external IoT speakers and automated lighting, it challenges intruders the moment they cross your property boundary. It’s an active security presence that works 24/7 to protect your home in Minster, ensuring you aren't just watching a crime happen, but preventing it entirely.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will integrate your existing hardware with our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network capable of MotionX detection and proactive deterrents. It’s a cost-effective way for residents in the Thanet area to upgrade to world-class AI security without the need for a completely new set of cameras, provided your current system meets the necessary technical standards.

scOS deters criminals through three powerful layers. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns while you're out—perfect for when you're away from your Minster home. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders instantly, even if they are wearing masks or hoods, by focusing on movement patterns rather than just facial features. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: if someone enters your property, external IoT speakers deliver AI voice warnings and lights flash to signal they've been spotted. This escalating response removes the anonymity criminals rely on.

We take your privacy seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. Unlike other brands that might sell your data or store it overseas, we are fully GDPR compliant and ensure your footage remains yours. The system uses a 'Local + Cloud' approach: the Intelligence Hub processes data locally for instant response, while the cloud provides secure backup and remote access. You have full control over your recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks, giving you peace of mind that your Minster property is protected privately.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your boundaries, side gates, and back gardens. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the intruder before they even reach your door. Furthermore, scOS uses wired connections that can't be jammed like common WiFi doorbells. For residents in Minster, where properties often have side access or larger gardens, a comprehensive AI system offers far superior protection than a simple doorbell camera.

While Minster (Thanet) has a lower crime rate than the national average, its proximity to the A299 and Manston can make it a target for opportunistic theft. scOS ensures you don't become complacent. Our Presence Simulation is a key feature here; it makes your home look active even when you're out for the day or away on holiday, preventing your property from standing out as an easy target. It’s about maintaining the safety and security that makes Minster such a desirable place to live.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition. This is incredibly useful for spotting 'scouting' vehicles that might be doing the rounds in the village. The system reads number plates and checks them against the DVLA database to confirm the vehicle's make and model. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unknown registration lingers near your property, scOS can alert you immediately. This allows you to be aware of potential threats before they even step out of their car, providing an extra layer of intelligence for your Kent home.

Absolutely. We understand that the coastal air in Thanet can be harsh on outdoor equipment. That's why we use high-quality, professional-grade wired cameras and IoT speakers that are built to withstand the elements. During our professional UK installation, we ensure all cabling is properly weather-sealed and hardware is securely mounted. Because scOS relies on wired connections rather than WiFi, you also don't have to worry about signal interference from thick walls or coastal weather conditions, ensuring your system remains reliable year-round.
