Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your home being burgled, whereas scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web or gust of wind, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only, such as a person approaching your property. It requires no manual 'tripwires' or 'zones' because it automatically understands your property boundaries. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents to scare off intruders before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a truly intelligent security network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, you gain access to MotionX detection, presence simulation, and our conversational AI, scOS Director, without needing to replace your entire infrastructure.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First, our 'Presence Simulation' makes your home appear occupied even when you're away by simulating natural human activity patterns inside the house. Second, our MotionX AI constantly monitors for suspicious behaviour, recognising people regardless of whether they are wearing masks or trying to hide their figure. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system initiates an escalating response: instant illumination from external lights followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive sequence is designed to convince a criminal that they have been spotted by a human guard, forcing them to retreat.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based company. All data processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before escalating to our secure UK-based cloud servers for advanced analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and data belong solely to you and are never sold to third parties. You have total 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 app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already caused damage or stolen a package. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary, not just the front step. While doorbells often suffer from lag and 'false positives' from passing cars, scOS uses MotionX to ignore irrelevant movement and focus on genuine threats. By detecting an intruder the moment they step onto your driveway or garden, scOS can intervene and stop the crime from happening, rather than just providing a video of the event after the fact.

North Weald Bassett is a popular village for commuters, often leaving homes empty during the day. Our 'Presence Simulation' is a game-changer here; it learns your typical household patterns and replicates them while you're at work or on holiday. By intelligently managing internal lighting and activity, it makes your home look lived-in, discouraging burglars who specifically scout for empty properties in quiet Essex villages.

Living near the airfield and the M11 means there is often transient activity in the area. Our MotionX AI is specifically tuned to ignore the 'noise' of planes or passing traffic, focusing exclusively on human activity within your property lines. This means you won't get pestered by false alarms, but you will be notified the second someone suspicious enters your garden or driveway.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is ideal for residents in North Weald Bassett. The system can identify every vehicle that enters your driveway, checking them against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with a suspicious history or cloned plates is detected, the system can alert you immediately, helping to prevent high-value car thefts which are a concern across Essex.
