Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your home being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity.' It recognises humans regardless of their movement or if they are trying to hide their shape, and it does so without needing you to draw complex motion masks. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. When a threat is detected at your property boundary, the system automatically triggers light and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Yes, in the vast majority of cases, scOS can breathe new life into your existing hardware. We are brand agnostic, meaning our Intelligence Hub is compatible with most professional wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We transform your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network by offloading the processing to our local Hub and UK-based cloud. This allows you to keep your existing investment while upgrading to world-class AI features like DVLA vehicle recognition and proactive voice deterrents without needing to replace every camera on your Oxspring property.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage. The first layer is Presence Simulation; when you're away from your Oxspring home, the system simulates natural human activity patterns inside, making the property appear occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary—even if the intruder is wearing a mask or a hoodie. The final layer is Active Intervention. If a threat persists, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and floods the area with light. Unlike a standard alarm that rings after a window is broken, scOS makes it clear to the criminal that they have been spotted and identified long before they attempt entry.

Privacy and security are at the core of scOS. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for storage and advanced analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we believe your data belongs to you. We never sell your information to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. By keeping everything within the UK, we ensure the highest standards of data protection and provide you with the peace of mind that your private life stays private.

A video doorbell is a useful tool for seeing who is at your front door, but it is not a comprehensive security system. Doorbells typically have a limited field of view, rely on slow Wi-Fi that can be easily jammed, and only alert you once someone is already on your doorstep. scOS provides whole-property protection. It monitors your entire boundary, detects threats early, and uses wired connections that are immune to signal jamming. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS offers a proactive shield for your entire home, not just a digital peephole for your front door.

As Oxspring grows, so does the risk of vehicle-related crime. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically identifies every car that enters your property. It checks the registration against the DVLA database to ensure the vehicle is legitimate and not using cloned plates. If an unknown or suspicious vehicle is detected, scOS can alert you immediately and even trigger a voice deterrent to let the driver know they are being monitored. This is a vital tool for protecting your family's cars and preventing 'keyless' theft in the South Yorkshire area.

scOS is designed to be highly intelligent but incredibly simple to use. Our scOS Director is a conversational AI that lets you ask natural questions about your home. You can ask, 'Was there any suspicious activity while I was at work?' or 'Did the postman come today?' and get an instant, accurate response. You don't need to be a security expert or spend hours looking at footage. We handle the professional installation in a single day, and the system starts protecting your Oxspring home immediately with zero configuration required from you.

No, scOS does not use facial recognition. Instead, it uses behaviour-based person recognition. It learns to distinguish between family members and strangers based on their normal activity patterns and how they interact with the property. This approach is much more privacy-friendly and effective than facial recognition, which can be easily fooled by masks or poor lighting. It allows scOS to know when someone 'belongs' at your Oxspring home and when someone is acting suspiciously, providing high-level security without compromising your family's privacy.
