Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Northampton
Traditional CCTV systems are passive—they record video, but only after a crime occurs. scOS is active intelligence. Our AI monitoring uses MotionX technology to understand what's happening in real-time, distinguishing between legitimate activity and genuine threats. When a threat is detected, scOS responds automatically in seconds with multiple intervention layers: it can trigger deterrents, alert you instantly, and coordinate with emergency services. Your current CCTV becomes evidence after the fact; scOS prevents the crime from happening in the first place.
Yes! scOS works with most wired IP cameras already installed in your home. Our Intelligence Hub integrates seamlessly with standard camera systems, adding AI intelligence to hardware you may already own. This means you don't need to replace your entire setup—we enhance what you have with smart detection and automated response capabilities. If you don't have cameras, our professional installation team can help you set up a complete system optimized for scOS.
scOS uses three integrated layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation makes it appear someone is home—lights activate, activity is visible—discouraging opportunistic burglars. Second, MotionX detection triggers immediate visual and auditory alerts the moment suspicious activity is detected, startling intruders before they commit. Third, Active Intervention allows us to coordinate an immediate response: alerting you, contacting emergency services, and establishing a live communication channel with authorities. These layers work together to make your home a hard target that criminals will abandon for easier alternatives.
Your security data is processed and stored in UK data centres, complying fully with GDPR and UK data protection regulations. We don't sell your data or share it with third parties. The Intelligence Hub processes much of the analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy—only essential alerts and intervention data are sent to our secure cloud systems. You maintain complete control over your footage and can access it anytime through your scOS dashboard.
A video doorbell shows you who's at your door—after they arrive. scOS stops crime across your entire property before anyone reaches your door. While doorbells are reactive (you see someone is there), scOS is proactive with 360-degree coverage of your home. Our AI doesn't just identify people; it analyzes behavior and intent, automatically triggering deterrents and intervention when threats are detected. A doorbell is one lens on one entry point; scOS is an intelligent security system protecting your entire home.
We offer flexible installation options to suit your comfort level. Our professional installation team can visit your home, integrate with existing cameras, and set up the Intelligence Hub—typically completed in a single visit. If you're tech-confident, scOS supports self-installation with detailed guidance. Either way, we'll ensure your system is optimized for your property layout and fully configured before we leave. The Intelligence Hub is a small, unobtrusive device that connects to your broadband and your cameras.
scOS detects and begins response in seconds. When MotionX identifies suspicious activity, the system immediately triggers deterrents and alerts. If human intervention is needed, our response team can be engaged in the same second, establishing contact with authorities and coordinating an immediate response. This speed is critical—the faster a system responds, the less time criminals have to act. Traditional CCTV provides footage for investigation after the crime; scOS prevents the crime from happening.
scOS requires an internet connection to function. Your cameras will continue recording locally when internet is down, but the AI monitoring features and cloud-coordinated response won't work until connection is restored. For homes with unreliable broadband, we recommend discussing backup connectivity options during installation. In Northampton, most properties have reliable fixed-line connections, but we'll assess your specific situation during the consultation.
scOS pricing is simple: £19 per camera per month (from 63p per day). This includes the Intelligence Hub software, AI monitoring, MotionX detection, professional monitoring, and access to our response team. There are no hidden fees based on property size or number of rooms—just straightforward per-camera pricing. Installation and any hardware upgrades are discussed during your consultation based on your current setup.
Privacy is built into scOS. Our cameras should only point at your own property—we'll advise on optimal placement during installation to avoid capturing neighbors' gardens or windows. The AI monitoring analyzes behavior and threats without identifying individuals by face; it uses behavior-based person recognition instead. Your footage is encrypted and stored securely. You have complete control over what's recorded, who can access it, and how long it's retained.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
