Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime while it happens, often leaving you with nothing but grainy footage of a masked intruder after the damage is done. scOS transforms your security from a witness into a proactive guardian. At the heart of our system is MotionX, a revolutionary AI that focuses on 'important activity' rather than just movement. Unlike standard systems that require frustrating 'motion masks' to ignore swaying trees or spiders, MotionX works out of the box to identify real threats while ignoring cobwebs, wind, and animals. This results in zero false alarms, ensuring that when you get an alert, it actually matters. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. Through automatic property boundary detection and escalating responses, the system uses light and voice deterrents to stop criminals before they ever reach your front door. It is the difference between having a recording of a burglary and preventing one entirely.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. We designed our Intelligence Hub to be compatible with the vast majority of existing wired IP camera systems, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. This means you don't have to rip out your current hardware to benefit from world-class AI. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes between 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will conduct a full assessment of your existing cameras. We then 'brain-train' your system, effectively turning your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, proactive network. By layering scOS over your current setup, you gain access to advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection without the cost of a total hardware overhaul. It’s a sustainable and cost-effective way to bring your home security into the AI age.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage of an attempted intrusion. The first layer is Presence Simulation; when you are away, the system learns your normal internal activity patterns and simulates them, making your home appear occupied to anyone watching from the street. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour even if a criminal is crawling, changing their shape, or wearing a mask. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries, the system triggers an Active Intervention. This isn't just a simple alarm; it involves instant illumination through automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. These AI-driven warnings inform the intruder they have been spotted and that their vehicle registration has been logged. By combining these passive and active measures, scOS creates a hostile environment for criminals, forcing them to move on before they even attempt a break-in.

At scOS, we believe your security data should be your business and no one else's. We are a 100% UK-based company, which means all our support staff, developers, and data centres are located right here in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your personal data is handled with the highest standards of privacy and legal protection. Unlike many competitors who process everything in the cloud, scOS uses a hybrid approach. Our Intelligence Hub processes the majority of the AI logic locally on your property for speed and privacy. Only when an escalation is required is data sent to our secure UK cloud servers. We never sell your data to third parties, and you maintain full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. Your privacy is not an afterthought; it is a fundamental component of our system architecture.

While video doorbells have become popular, they are fundamentally limited in their scope and capability. A doorbell typically only monitors a small 'cone' of vision directly in front of your door and only alerts you once someone is already standing on your threshold. In contrast, scOS provides whole-property protection. Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, monitoring your driveway, side gates, and gardens simultaneously. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief from even entering your driveway. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and prone to signal jamming or battery failure; scOS uses professional wired installations for maximum reliability. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and scOS Director—our conversational AI that lets you ask natural questions about your property—scOS offers a level of comprehensive intelligence that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot match.

Oadby is home to many high-value properties and luxury vehicles, which can unfortunately attract targeted theft. scOS uses DVLA Vehicle Recognition to monitor every car that enters your driveway. If an unrecognised or suspicious vehicle is detected, the system can alert you immediately. This is a vital tool for Oadby residents who want to protect their high-end cars from sophisticated thieves who often use cloned plates to scout affluent neighbourhoods.

We understand that privacy is paramount for residents in Oadby's premier residential areas. scOS is designed with privacy at its core. Our AI processes data locally on your Intelligence Hub, and we never use invasive facial recognition. Instead, we use behaviour-based Person Recognition to identify family members and regular visitors. You have full control over your data, which is stored securely in UK-based centres and is never shared or sold.

Oadby's leafy streets and large gardens can be difficult to monitor with traditional CCTV. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically trained to ignore swaying trees, shadows, and local wildlife like foxes. This means you won't be plagued by false alarms on windy nights. The system focuses solely on 'important activity'—human movement and vehicle presence—ensuring that your security alerts are always relevant and actionable.
