Standard CCTV is passive; it records crime but doesn't prevent it. scOS is an active intelligence system powered by MotionX, which distinguishes between 'important activity' and background noise. Unlike traditional systems that trigger alerts for every passing animal or swaying branch, MotionX focuses solely on genuine threats. It requires no manual 'tripwires' or 'zones' because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS takes immediate action with lights and voice deterrents, stopping intruders in their tracks rather than just filming them.

Yes, scOS is designed to be fully compatible with most existing wired IP camera systems. Whether you have Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink cameras installed at your New Hartley home, our Intelligence Hub can take over the feed and apply our advanced AI. During our professional UK-based installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, we will integrate your current hardware into the scOS ecosystem. This allows you to upgrade to proactive AI protection, including presence simulation and vehicle recognition, without the expense of replacing your entire camera network.

We use a three-tier approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic your daily habits inside the home—turning lights on and off in a natural pattern—to make the house look occupied while you're away. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they cross your boundary, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder persists, our external IoT speakers deliver escalating voice warnings while lights illuminate the area. This immediate, intelligent response is designed to make any criminal realise the home is actively defended.

We take data privacy very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We use a 'Local + Cloud' processing model where the Intelligence Hub on your property handles the immediate AI analysis locally for maximum speed and privacy. Only when an event needs to be escalated or accessed remotely is it sent to our secure cloud. Your data is never sold, and you remain in full control of your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides 360-degree intelligence for your entire property. It detects threats at the boundary, recognises suspicious vehicles via DVLA integration, and uses proactive deterrents to stop a break-in before it starts. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and can be easily bypassed with Wi-Fi jammers; scOS uses professional wired connections to ensure your security is never compromised. It’s a professional-grade security guard for your whole home.

New Hartley's property crime rate of 12.85 per 1,000 residents shows that even close-knit communities need modern protection. scOS is perfect for New Hartley because it provides a high level of security without being intrusive. Our AI auto-detects your property boundaries, so you don't need to worry about setting up complex zones. The system's ability to distinguish between family members and strangers based on behaviour also means you won't get false alerts when your children are playing in the garden.

Yes, scOS features scOS Director, a conversational AI that makes managing your security easy. You can ask it questions like, 'Who has been at the front door today?' or 'Are there any unusual activities I should know about?' and it will give you a natural language summary. This is much easier than scrolling through hours of footage and allows you to stay informed about your New Hartley home's security with just a simple question. It's like having a security guard you can talk to.

Our professional UK installation team handles the entire setup, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours for a home in New Hartley. We prioritise wired connections because they are more secure and cannot be jammed like Wi-Fi systems. Our engineers will install the Intelligence Hub, connect your cameras, and set up the external IoT speakers. We'll also walk you through how to use the system and the scOS Director AI before we finish, ensuring you're fully protected.
