Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, which rarely helps in recovering stolen goods or feeling safe. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. At its core is MotionX, a revolutionary detection engine that focuses on 'important activity' rather than just movement. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX works out of the box. It ignores environmental noise and focuses exclusively on human and vehicle behaviour. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes. It can trigger external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activate lighting to let the intruder know they have been spotted. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes between 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video feeds locally before escalating critical data to our UK-based cloud for further analysis. This approach allows you to upgrade your security to AI-driven standards without the cost of replacing every camera on your property, provided they meet the necessary technical requirements for a wired connection.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to stop crime before it happens. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you are away. If someone does approach, our MotionX technology identifies them as a person immediately, regardless of whether they are wearing a hood or mask. The system then initiates an Active Intervention. This starts with automatic light response to illuminate the intruder, followed by escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These aren't two-way audio 'doorbell' chats; they are authoritative, AI-driven warnings that let the intruder know they have been spotted. By combining the appearance of a busy home with immediate, escalating consequences for trespassing, scOS makes your property a much less attractive target.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many security companies that outsource data handling to international servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response, and only critical events are escalated to our secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your video footage and personal information remain your property. We never sell your data to third parties. You have complete control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our app. By keeping our operations, support, and data storage within the UK, we provide a level of security and legal protection that international brands simply cannot match.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses AI to detect threats the moment they step onto your land, not just when they reach the front door. Furthermore, doorbells rely on you being available to answer a notification to act as a deterrent. scOS is autonomous; it detects, identifies, and deters intruders using lights and voice warnings without you needing to lift a finger. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a professional security team, providing a proactive shield that stops crime before it reaches your entrance.

Pagham's coastal environment can be harsh on electronics, but scOS is built for durability. We use professional-grade, wired hardware that is significantly more robust than consumer-grade wireless cameras. Our installation process ensures that all cabling is protected and that cameras are positioned to withstand the salt air and high winds common in Sussex. Because we use wired connections rather than WiFi, your system won't suffer from signal interference or jamming, which is a common vulnerability in coastal areas with varying signal strengths. We provide a reliable, 'always-on' solution that remains functional regardless of the weather conditions on the coast.

For Pagham residents who own second homes or holiday lets, scOS is the perfect remote guardian. Our Presence Simulation feature is particularly valuable here, as it makes the property look lived-in during the quiet winter months by mimicking human activity patterns inside. You can also use 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, to ask natural questions about your property from anywhere in the world. You might ask, 'Has anyone been to the side gate today?' or 'What time did the gardener arrive?' This gives you the peace of mind of a physical security guard without the ongoing cost, ensuring your coastal retreat is protected year-round.

Sussex Police, like many forces, face challenges with response times in smaller villages. scOS provides an immediate 'first line of defence' that doesn't rely on external intervention. By using escalating voice warnings and instant lighting, the system is designed to drive intruders away the moment they are detected. In many cases, the intruder is deterred before they even attempt to enter the building. If an incident does occur, our high-quality 24/7 recording and AI-driven event tagging provide the police with clear, actionable evidence, including vehicle registrations and person descriptions, making it much easier for them to pursue a case.
