Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device, whereas scOS is an active intelligence system. Most systems use basic motion detection that triggers for cats, wind, or shadows, leading to 'notification fatigue.' scOS uses MotionX, which ignores these distractions and only alerts you to 'important activity'—specifically human presence. Furthermore, while standard CCTV just watches a crime happen, scOS intervenes. It uses automatic light responses and voice warnings from external speakers to stop intruders before they can break in. It also features scOS Director, a conversational AI that lets you ask questions about your property's history as if you were talking to a security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with the majority of wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. We don't believe in forcing you to buy all new hardware if your current cameras are high-quality. Our professional UK installers will integrate your existing cameras into our Intelligence Hub, which then adds the 'brains' to your system. This transformation turns your existing passive cameras into a proactive security network capable of person recognition and automatic intervention. We prefer wired systems over wireless to ensure your security can't be compromised by WiFi jammers, a common tool for modern burglars.

scOS deters criminals through three distinct layers of proactive protection. The first is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're commuting to Bristol or Bath. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they step onto your property, even if they are wearing hoods or masks. Finally, the system uses escalating intervention: if someone lingers, it triggers bright lights and clear voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response signals to the criminal that they are being monitored by a sophisticated system, usually forcing them to leave immediately.

We take data sovereignty very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. Unlike other brands that process video in the US or China, your footage stays under UK jurisdiction and is fully GDPR compliant. The system uses a hybrid approach: our Intelligence Hub processes data locally for instant response, while the cloud provides secure backup and remote access. You own your data, and we never sell it. You can access up to two weeks of 24/7 recordings from anywhere via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often easily bypassed or ignored by experienced criminals. scOS provides 360-degree protection for your entire Paulton property. While a doorbell tells you someone is there, scOS actively prevents them from staying. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition to spot cloned plates and AI that recognises the difference between a neighbour and a stranger based on behaviour, scOS offers a professional level of security that a consumer doorbell simply cannot match. It’s about stopping the crime at the boundary, not just filming it at the door.

For Paulton residents commuting via the A37, Presence Simulation is a game-changer. The system doesn't just turn lights on a timer; it learns your actual habits and simulates them realistically. This makes your home look lived-in throughout the day, which is the single most effective way to deter opportunistic burglars who scout for empty houses during working hours.

Yes, our MotionX AI is revolutionary because it ignores animals. Whether it's a neighbourhood cat or a fox from the Somerset countryside, scOS won't send you a false alarm. It is specifically trained to recognise human movement patterns, even if the person is trying to hide their shape or crawling. You only get alerted when there is a genuine human threat on your property.

Our professional UK-based installation team can usually secure a standard Paulton home in just 4 to 6 hours. We handle everything from the wiring to the configuration of the Intelligence Hub. We ensure the external IoT speakers and lighting are positioned for maximum deterrent effect, and we'll walk you through how to use the scOS Director AI to monitor your home before we leave.
