Most CCTV systems are "dumb"—they record a crime while it happens but do nothing to stop it. You end up with grainy footage of a person in a hoodie that the police can't use. scOS is fundamentally different because it is a proactive AI system. It uses our proprietary MotionX technology, which doesn't just look for movement; it understands activity. Unlike traditional systems that require you to draw "motion masks" to avoid trees or shadows, MotionX works out of the box to identify people and vehicles while ignoring spiders, wind, and rain. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. When a threat is detected, the system can automatically trigger external lights and voice deterrents to warn the intruder off before they even touch your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

One of the most powerful features of scOS is its "brand agnostic" nature. If you already have a wired CCTV system—such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink—you don't need to rip it all out and start again. Our Intelligence Hub is designed to work with almost any professional-grade wired IP camera. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. We then "brain-swap" your system, replacing your old recorder with the scOS Hub. This instantly transforms your "dumb" cameras into an intelligent, AI-powered network. This not only saves you money on hardware but also reduces waste, allowing you to upgrade to world-class AI security while keeping the cameras you've already invested in.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals before they strike. The first layer is Presence Simulation. This isn't just a simple timer; the AI learns your home's natural patterns and simulates human activity inside the house when you're away, making the property look occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection. Our AI is trained to recognise "important activity," meaning it can spot a person even if they are crawling, wearing a mask, or trying to hide behind objects. It identifies the threat the moment they cross your property boundary. The third layer is Active Intervention. If the AI determines a person is a threat, it triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination from external lights and progresses to clear, authoritative voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. This combination of looking occupied and providing an immediate response makes your home a "hard target" that criminals will avoid.

At scOS, we believe your security data should be private. Unlike many international brands that ship your footage to servers in the US or China, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then backed up to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data to third parties or use your footage for anything other than your own security. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible via our secure app from anywhere in the world. By keeping everything within the UK, we ensure the highest standards of data protection and provide you with a system you can truly trust.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your front door, often after they’ve already pressed the button or tried the handle. By that point, the security breach has already happened. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system designed to stop crime before it reaches your door. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses MotionX AI to detect intruders at the edge of your land, giving the system time to deploy deterrents like voice warnings and lights. Furthermore, doorbells often suffer from "notification fatigue" due to false alarms from cars or pedestrians. scOS eliminates this by only alerting you to genuine threats. It’s the difference between a doorbell that records a package thief and an AI system that prevents the thief from ever stepping onto your driveway.

As a popular commuter hub for Bath and Bristol, many Peasedown St John homes sit empty during the day. scOS uses advanced Presence Simulation to make your home appear active while you're at work. The AI learns your typical routines and mimics them—turning lights on and off in different rooms—to create the appearance of occupancy. This is a powerful deterrent against daytime burglars who are looking for empty houses.

scOS features DVLA-linked vehicle recognition, which is ideal for monitoring the traffic in a busy commuter village. The system can identify vehicles that are frequently seen loitering in the area or those with suspicious registrations. By flagging these to you via the scOS Director app, you can stay informed about potential threats in your neighbourhood, even when you're miles away at work.

scOS is designed to be a "set and forget" system. Our MotionX AI is so accurate that it eliminates the false alarms that plague traditional systems. You won't be woken up by a cat in the garden or a branch moving in the wind. The system only alerts you when it detects genuine human threats or suspicious vehicle activity. This means you can enjoy your time at home without being bothered by unnecessary notifications.
