Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, but it does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While traditional systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web or gust of wind, scOS uses MotionX. This revolutionary technology focuses only on 'important activity,' recognising people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their figure. Because it understands the difference between a fox and a prowler, it can trigger immediate, automatic interventions like lights and voice warnings. You don't need to draw 'tripwires' or 'zones'—the AI automatically learns your property boundaries and defends them. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

In most cases, yes. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with almost any professional-grade wired IP camera, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. We don't believe in forcing you to buy new hardware if your current cameras are high-quality. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing setup. We then connect your cameras to our Intelligence Hub, which transforms your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, proactive network. By using wired connections over wireless, we ensure your system remains resilient against the signal jamming techniques often used by modern burglars, providing a much more stable and secure foundation than off-the-shelf wireless kits.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your normal internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home look occupied to anyone watching from the street. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your property, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. Third is Active Intervention. When a threat is detected, the system doesn't just record; it reacts. It triggers instant illumination and delivers escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. These aren't pre-recorded loops but AI-driven responses that let the intruder know they have been spotted and are being monitored, usually causing them to flee before they even reach your door.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands that ship your data to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data and personal information are stored in secure UK data centres and managed in full compliance with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the immediate, heavy-duty AI processing locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to the cloud when necessary for alerts or remote access. You retain full control over your data at all times, and we never sell your information to third parties. You can access your 24/7 recordings from anywhere in the world, with up to two weeks of footage stored securely and ready for review.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a slow sensor. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home's exterior, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It identifies threats the moment they step onto your driveway or garden, long before they reach your entrance. Furthermore, doorbells rarely deter determined criminals; scOS actively intervenes with light and sound to stop the crime in progress. While a doorbell provides a video of a package being stolen, scOS is designed to ensure the thief never feels comfortable enough to step onto your porch in the first place.

Motcombe is a beautiful, quiet village, but its low crime rate can lead to complacency. Burglars often target affluent rural areas precisely because they expect security to be lax. scOS is perfect for Motcombe because it provides 'invisible' protection. Our Presence Simulation ensures that if you're away for a weekend or a holiday, your home still looks and sounds lived-in. The AI monitors your property without the need for unsightly sensors or tripwires, maintaining the aesthetic of your home while providing world-class protection.

Yes, scOS is ideal for protecting outbuildings, garages, and sheds. Our MotionX technology is smart enough to ignore the movement of trees or small animals, but it will instantly alert you if a person approaches your workshop or garden office. Because the system uses external IoT speakers, it can deliver a voice warning directly to anyone prowling near your outbuildings, often stopping a theft before any damage is done to your property.

Dorset Police do an excellent job, but rural response times can vary. scOS acts as your first line of defence. By using escalating responses—starting with lights and moving to direct voice warnings—the system often handles the threat itself. If an incident does occur, scOS provides high-quality, AI-filtered footage that makes it easy for Dorset Police to identify the individuals involved. Our system even detects covered faces, providing vital evidence that standard CCTV often misses.
