Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your Mundesley home being burgled but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology focuses only on 'important activity.' It understands the difference between a holidaymaker and a stranger loitering by your property. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. By using property boundary detection, it knows exactly where your land starts and can trigger lights or voice warnings the moment an intruder crosses the line, often stopping a crime before it happens.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes 4-6 hours—our engineers will assess your current setup. We bypass the limited software on your old cameras and link them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub provides the local processing power needed for MotionX and boundary detection, effectively giving your old hardware a 'brain' transplant and bringing it up to modern AI standards.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy to keep Mundesley properties safe. The first layer is Presence Simulation; when you're away, the system mimics natural human activity inside your home—turning lights on and off in a realistic pattern—to make the property look occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies a threat the moment they step onto your property, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide. The final layer is Active Intervention. If an intruder persists, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver a clear voice warning and illuminates the area. This escalating response removes the intruder's anonymity and makes your home a 'hard target.'

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many international brands that ship your footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. All initial intelligence processing happens locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub within your home. When a potential threat is detected, encrypted data is escalated to our secure UK-based cloud for further analysis and to ensure you can access your footage from anywhere. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, ensuring that your security data remains private and secure.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. In contrast, scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view and often misses activity at the side or rear of the house, scOS monitors your entire perimeter. More importantly, doorbells are passive—they might send you a notification while someone is kicking your door in, but they won't stop them. scOS identifies the threat at the boundary of your Mundesley property and uses proactive warnings to stop the criminal before they ever reach your front door.

Mundesley is a popular destination, and the influx of visitors can make it hard to spot suspicious activity. scOS uses Person Recognition to distinguish between your family and strangers. It learns the typical behaviours around your home, so it won't alert you for every tourist walking past, but it will flag someone who is lingering near your windows or checking your door handles. This 'behaviour-based' intelligence is far more effective than simple motion sensing, as it focuses on intent rather than just movement, keeping your home safe even during the busy summer months.

For those with second homes in Mundesley, scOS is the ultimate caretaker. Our Presence Simulation is a key feature; it doesn't just turn a light on at 6 PM, it simulates realistic human activity throughout the house to make it look genuinely occupied. You can also use 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, to check in on your property from anywhere. You can ask, 'Has anyone been in the garden this week?' and get a natural language summary of activity. It’s like having a trusted neighbour watching your house 24/7, but with the precision of advanced AI.

Coastal weather in Norfolk can be challenging, with sea mist and high winds often triggering false alarms on traditional CCTV. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically designed to ignore environmental factors like fog, rain, or moving trees. It only triggers for 'important activity'—specifically human presence. This means you can trust your alerts even during a North Sea storm. Our professional installation also ensures that all hardware is properly weather-sealed and wired for maximum reliability, avoiding the signal dropouts common with wireless systems in coastal areas.
