Traditional CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS transforms your security from passive to proactive. While standard systems rely on motion masks that are often triggered by wind or spiders, our MotionX technology focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their figure, resulting in zero false alarms. Instead of just filming an intruder, scOS identifies them at your property boundary and initiates an immediate response, such as activating lights or voice deterrents, to prevent the incident from escalating.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from manufacturers like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can typically integrate with them to provide an AI upgrade. During our professional UK installation, which usually takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By layering our AI intelligence over your existing cameras, we transform 'dumb' recording devices into a sophisticated, proactive security shield without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making the property appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the property boundary, even if the person is wearing a mask or hood. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This includes instant illumination through automatic light responses and escalating warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. This multi-stage approach is designed to discourage criminals long before they reach your front door.

Your privacy and data security are our highest priorities. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data is processed through our Intelligence Hub locally before being escalated to our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data remains yours and is never sold to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted cloud platform.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door, often after they have already arrived. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses AI to detect threats the moment they step onto your land, triggering deterrents like voice warnings and lights. It’s the difference between seeing a package being stolen and preventing the thief from ever stepping onto your driveway.

In rural Sussex villages like Ninfield, police response times can vary. scOS provides an immediate, automated first line of defence that doesn't wait for a patrol car. By using escalating voice deterrents and instant lighting, the system actively works to drive intruders away the moment they are detected. This proactive approach ensures your property is defended 24/7, providing peace of mind even when you are miles away from home.

Ninfield's rural setting means cameras often face challenges like swaying trees, wildlife, and insects. Standard motion detection would be plagued by false alerts in this environment. However, scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically trained to ignore environmental noise like cobwebs, animals, and wind. It focuses only on 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour and vehicle movements—ensuring that when your phone pings, it’s for a genuine reason, not just a fox in the garden.

Absolutely. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is particularly useful for homes in Ninfield situated near main thoroughfares. The system checks the registration of any vehicle entering your property against the DVLA database. It can identify suspicious vehicles or even cloned plates, alerting you immediately if an unrecognised or flagged vehicle pulls into your driveway. This adds an extra layer of intelligence to your home security that standard cameras simply cannot match.
