Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime while it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a person in a hoodie that the police cannot use. scOS is a proactive intelligence system powered by MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on simple motion detection—leading to endless false alarms from spiders, swaying trees, or passing cars—MotionX identifies 'important activity.' It recognises human behaviour and property breaches with surgical precision, requiring no manual 'tripwires' or 'zones.' When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. Through automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers, it deters criminals before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we enable features like MotionX detection and DVLA vehicle recognition without the need for a total hardware overhaul. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security while leveraging the investment you’ve already made in your home’s infrastructure.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the property appear occupied to anyone scouting the area. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour—even if a person is trying to conceal their shape or face—long before they touch a window. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers Active Intervention. This starts with instant illumination and escalates to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By combining the appearance of an occupied home with immediate, escalating responses to physical presence, scOS makes your property a 'hard target' that criminals would rather avoid.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the heavy lifting locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud when an event requires it. You maintain total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. We never sell your data, and our support team is based right here in the UK, ensuring that your home’s security remains your private business.

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 that protects your entire perimeter. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your whole property boundary using AI that auto-detects your land lines. It stops crime before it happens by identifying threats at the edge of your property and using active deterrents to turn them away. Furthermore, scOS includes advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and scOS Director, a conversational AI that lets you ask natural questions about your home’s security, providing a level of protection a doorbell simply cannot match.

Mistley’s beautiful riverside location often means properties have large gardens or access points that are hard to monitor with traditional cameras. scOS features 'Automatic Property Boundary Detection.' Our AI automatically identifies your property lines without you needing to draw complex 'tripwires' or 'zones.' This ensures that any unauthorised person crossing onto your land—whether from the road or the estuary side—is immediately detected and met with a proactive response, keeping your entire perimeter secure.

Mistley is a safe village, but secluded homes can be vulnerable to targeted theft. scOS uses 'Presence Simulation' to ensure your home never looks empty. By learning your daily habits—like when you usually move between rooms or turn on certain lights—the system can replicate these patterns while you're away. This is far more effective than simple light timers, as it creates a realistic impression of an occupied home, deterring burglars who are scouting for easy targets in the Essex countryside.

Yes. Mistley residents can use 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, to stay connected to their home. You can ask natural questions like 'Was there any unusual activity while I was at work?' or 'Did the delivery driver leave the parcel in the porch?' It’s like having a conversation with a security guard who has been watching your house all day. This provides a level of interactive intelligence that goes far beyond just checking a video feed.
