Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device; it captures a crime while it's happening but does nothing to prevent it. scOS is a proactive home intelligence system. The key difference is our MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity' rather than just motion. In a rural area like Perham Down, traditional cameras are often triggered by wildlife or swaying trees; scOS ignores these, focusing only on genuine threats like people or vehicles. It also features Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied even when you're away. Instead of just watching a video later, scOS intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop intruders before they reach your home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This 'upcycles' your existing cameras, giving them full AI capabilities like MotionX detection and DVLA vehicle recognition. It’s a cost-effective way for Perham Down residents to upgrade to world-class security without needing to replace their entire existing camera hardware.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your daily patterns and mimics human activity inside your home when you're away, making it look lived-in—the most effective way to avoid being targeted. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their face with a hood or mask. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder enters your property, external IoT speakers deliver AI voice warnings while lights illuminate the area. This escalating response tells the criminal they've been spotted by an active system, which almost always results in them fleeing immediately.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are 100% UK-based, with all data stored in secure UK data centres, not overseas. Your Intelligence Hub processes data locally for maximum speed and privacy, only escalating to the cloud for secure storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data is never sold or shared. You have complete control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. By keeping everything in the UK—from our support teams to our servers—we ensure your Perham Down home remains private and protected.

A video doorbell is a reactive 'digital peephole' that only shows you who is at the door, often after they've already arrived. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary, including driveways, gardens, and side entrances. While a doorbell records a crime, scOS is designed to stop it before it happens through presence simulation and active AI intervention. Additionally, scOS uses secure wired connections that can't be jammed like many wireless doorbells, and it integrates with external speakers for real-world deterrence that a tiny doorbell speaker simply can't match.

Perham Down has a strong military community, and we understand that families are often away for extended periods. scOS is perfect for this. Our Presence Simulation mimics your family's actual activity patterns, making the house look occupied even during long deployments. You can also use 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, to check in from anywhere in the world. Just ask, 'Has there been any unusual activity this week?' and get a natural, instant summary, giving you peace of mind while you're away.

Perham Down is exceptionally safe, but its rural location can make homes targets for opportunistic theft, especially of high-value vehicles or equipment. Professional thieves often target low-crime areas because security is typically lower. scOS ensures you don't become an easy target. By proactively deterring intruders and simulating your presence, you maintain your home's security without having to worry about the 'what ifs,' allowing you to enjoy the peace of village life fully protected.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition. In rural areas, thieves often use 'scouting' vehicles to identify targets. Our system identifies every vehicle that enters your property boundary and checks its registration against the national database. If a vehicle has cloned plates or is flagged as suspicious, scOS will alert you immediately. This allows you to identify a potential threat before they even step out of their car, providing an extra layer of security for your driveway and outbuildings.
