Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which moves beyond simple motion detection. While standard systems are plagued by false alarms from swaying trees, spiders, or rain, MotionX focuses on 'important activity.' It recognises human behaviour and shapes, even if someone is trying to hide their face or crawling. Because it understands what it sees, scOS can intervene automatically. Instead of just filming an intruder, it triggers external IoT speakers and lighting to deter them before they reach your door. There are no motion masks to set up; the AI works out of the box to protect your North Curry home without the constant annoyance of false notifications.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you already have a wired IP camera system—such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti—our Intelligence Hub can often transform those 'dumb' cameras into a smart, proactive network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your current cameras to the scOS Hub, we can apply our MotionX AI and property boundary detection to your existing views. This means you don't necessarily need to start from scratch to get world-class AI protection. We prefer wired connections over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be defeated by simple Wi-Fi jamming devices often used by modern burglars.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to ensure criminals choose a different target. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your normal internal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary—which the AI detects automatically without you needing to draw lines. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If the AI detects a threat, it triggers escalating responses. This starts with instant illumination from external lights and progresses to clear voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. Unlike a doorbell that just pings your phone, scOS actively tells the intruder they have been spotted and that the police are being notified, stopping the crime in its tracks.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data remains entirely yours; we never sell or share your footage with third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible 24/7 from anywhere in the world via our secure app. By keeping the intelligence local and the storage in the UK, we ensure the fastest possible response times and the highest level of data security for your Somerset property.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a comprehensive property security solution. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front garden, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses DVLA-linked vehicle recognition to spot suspicious cars and covered-face detection to flag individuals wearing masks or balaclavas before they even reach your house. More importantly, a doorbell doesn't stop a burglar; scOS does. Through presence simulation and escalating voice deterrents, scOS prevents the break-in from ever happening, rather than just giving you a video of it to show the police later.

North Curry’s low property crime rate is fantastic, but it can lead to a false sense of security. Rural areas are often targeted precisely because residents are less likely to have advanced security. scOS acts as a silent sentry, providing professional-grade protection that doesn't interfere with your daily life but is ready to act the second an anomaly is detected. It’s about ensuring North Curry stays as safe as it is today.

Yes, scOS is perfect for properties with outbuildings. Our AI automatically detects your property lines, so if someone approaches your garage or garden shed, the system knows they are trespassing. You can set the system to deliver a voice warning specifically in those areas, such as 'You are being monitored on private property,' which is a highly effective way to protect tools, bikes, and garden equipment without needing to constantly check your cameras.

The Somerset Levels can experience heavy rain and mist, which often causes false alerts on standard motion-sensing cameras. scOS uses MotionX, which is designed to ignore environmental factors like wind, rain, and fog. It focuses entirely on human movement and vehicle patterns. This ensures that you aren't bothered by 'ghost' alerts during a Somerset storm, but you will be notified immediately if a person is moving around your property.
