Traditional CCTV is a passive system that simply records what happens, often leaving you with footage of a crime after it's already occurred. These systems are also prone to false alarms from pets or weather. scOS, however, is an active AI system. Our MotionX technology is designed to ignore 'noise' and only alert you to important activity, like people or vehicles. Most importantly, scOS is proactive. It uses automatic boundary detection to know when someone is on your property and can trigger immediate light and voice responses to deter them. It’s not just a camera; it’s an intelligent security system that works to prevent crime before it happens.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and can work with most existing wired IP camera systems. If you already have cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can integrate with them, upgrading your 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence AI network. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure everything is working perfectly. This allows you to get the benefits of scOS’s proactive AI, such as presence simulation and vehicle recognition, without needing to replace your entire existing system.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns while you're away. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious activity the moment someone enters your property. Third is Active Intervention: if the AI detects a threat, it can instantly trigger external lights and deliver voice warnings through IoT speakers. By identifying an intruder and vocally warning them before they even reach your house, scOS removes the element of surprise and anonymity that criminals rely on, effectively deterring them before they can cause damage.

Your data security is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike other systems that might send your footage to servers abroad, scOS ensures your data stays within the UK. We use a combination of local processing on your Intelligence Hub and secure cloud escalation. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. We never sell your data, and it is only accessible by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and usually only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS offers whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary, including driveways and gardens. While a doorbell is reactive, scOS is proactive, using AI to detect and deter intruders before they even get to your door. Additionally, scOS is a professionally installed, wired system, making it much more reliable than wireless doorbells which can be susceptible to signal jamming or battery failure. It’s a comprehensive security solution rather than just a single point of entry monitor.

Northiam is home to many beautiful, historic properties, including those near Great Dixter. We understand that aesthetics are important. Our professional installation team is experienced in working with historic homes, ensuring that cameras and speakers are placed discreetly and that wiring is hidden as much as possible. scOS provides modern, high-tech protection without compromising the character of your home. Our system's AI-driven deterrence is the perfect way to protect your heritage property from modern threats.

Northiam’s location near the Kent border and popular tourist attractions means there are often many visitors and unfamiliar vehicles in the area. This can provide cover for opportunistic criminals. scOS helps by providing 24/7 AI vigilance that can distinguish between a visitor and a potential threat. Even if local crime rates are lower than the national average, the peace of mind that comes from knowing your home is actively defending itself is invaluable. scOS ensures that your property remains a 'hard target' in an otherwise quiet area.

Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition is a powerful tool for village residents. It doesn't just see a car; it reads the registration and can check it against the DVLA database to identify cloned plates or suspicious vehicles. If a vehicle that doesn't belong to your family or known visitors lingers near your property, scOS can alert you. You can even ask the scOS Director, 'What cars have been here today?' to get a full report. This is an excellent way to keep track of unusual activity in the village and protect your own vehicles from theft.
