Traditional CCTV is a passive witness; it records your property being burgled so you can show the police later. scOS is a proactive deterrent. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, the system identifies 'important activity'—specifically human threats—without the need for false-alarm-prone motion masks. It automatically understands your property boundaries and, upon detecting an intruder, uses escalating light and voice responses to stop them in their tracks. It doesn't just watch crime; it prevents it from happening in the first place.

Yes, scOS is designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis. Our Intelligence Hub acts as the 'brain' for your existing 'dumb' cameras, upgrading them with AI capabilities. During our 4-6 hour professional installation, our UK engineers will integrate your current hardware into the scOS ecosystem. This allows you to benefit from our advanced MotionX detection and scOS Director conversational AI without needing to replace your entire existing setup.

We use three layers of proactive protection. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns. Second, MotionX detection identifies intruders even if they are wearing balaclavas or hoods. Third, Active Intervention uses external IoT speakers and lighting to deliver authoritative warnings. When an intruder hears a voice telling them they've been detected at the boundary, they almost always flee. We focus on stopping the crime at the perimeter, long before they reach your front door.

Privacy is a core tenet of scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your footage. The Intelligence Hub on your property handles local processing for instant response, while the cloud provides the heavy-duty AI analysis. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings via our app, ensuring your home stays private and secure.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers a tiny fraction of your property. In an area like North Benfleet, where property crime rates are significantly higher than the national average, you need more than a doorbell. scOS provides 360-degree protection, monitoring your entire boundary and using AI to intervene before an intruder even reaches your door. With vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS is a professional-grade security system, whereas a doorbell is just a digital intercom.

North Benfleet’s high property crime rate requires a system that doesn't hesitate. scOS is designed for high-risk environments, providing an immediate, autonomous response to threats. The moment someone suspicious enters your boundary, the system initiates deterrent protocols—lights and voice warnings—without waiting for a human to trigger them. This 'zero-latency' protection is vital in areas where burglars are more brazen, as it removes the 'window of opportunity' they rely on.

Criminals in South Essex often use stolen or cloned plates to scout locations via the A127. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically logs every registration that enters your driveway and checks it against the national database. If a vehicle is flagged as suspicious or has been seen loitering in the area previously, scOS Director will alert you immediately. This allows you to stay one step ahead of professional thieves who may be 'casing' your property.

Absolutely. Our MotionX technology is specifically trained to detect 'Covered Face Detection'. If someone approaches your property wearing a mask, balaclava, or even just a pulled-up hood to hide their identity, scOS recognises this as suspicious behaviour. Instead of a standard alert, the system can trigger an immediate, high-level escalating response, using lights and voice deterrents to let the individual know they have been identified despite their concealment.
