Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime as it happens, often leaving you with nothing but footage of a masked intruder. scOS is a proactive guardian. Our system uses MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means it ignores swaying trees, spiders, or wind, focusing entirely on genuine threats. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS works out of the box, automatically detecting your property boundaries. It doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light and voice responses to stop an incident before your home is even touched.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your 'dumb' cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we transform them into a proactive AI security system. This allows you to upgrade your home's intelligence without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided your existing cameras are wired, as we prefer wired connections over jam-prone wireless setups.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it appear occupied even when you're away in Lincoln or walking the Viking Way. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they are moving or if they are attempting to conceal their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries, scOS triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to AI-generated voice warnings from external IoT speakers, designed to convince any intruder that they have been spotted by a live guard.

Your privacy is a cornerstone of our service. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Most of the intelligence is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub, only escalating to our secure cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell it to third parties. You have 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings from anywhere in the world, ensuring you are always in control of your Navenby property's security.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door—often when it's too late. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS uses proactive deterrents like presence simulation and voice warnings to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. It provides whole-property protection rather than just a narrow view of your front step, stopping crime before it happens rather than just recording it.

Navenby's location along the A15 makes it accessible to opportunistic criminals travelling between Lincoln and Sleaford. scOS addresses this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which scans and identifies vehicles entering your property's vicinity. If a suspicious vehicle or one with cloned plates is detected, the system can alert you immediately. This, combined with our MotionX technology, ensures that your home is protected from transient threats without being triggered by the regular flow of A15 traffic.

Lincolnshire Police cover a large rural area, and response times can be a concern for village residents. scOS provides an immediate, autonomous response that doesn't wait for a dispatcher. By using AI to deliver instant voice warnings and light responses, the system is designed to scare off intruders the moment they cross your boundary. This proactive intervention is often enough to prevent a crime entirely, ensuring your home is protected even before you've had a chance to check your phone.

Yes, scOS is ideal for the varied architecture found in Navenby, including heritage properties. Our professional installation team is experienced in working with older buildings, ensuring that cameras and IoT speakers are placed discreetly and effectively. Because scOS works with a wide range of camera brands, we can help you choose hardware that complements your home's aesthetic while still providing the high-level AI protection that scOS is known for.
