Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device; it’s a witness to a crime, not a deterrent. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Our MotionX technology is the core difference—it doesn't just detect motion (which leads to false alarms from the wind or animals), it detects 'important activity.' It can recognise a human form even if they are wearing a mask or a hood. When scOS identifies a threat, it doesn't just record; it acts. Through external IoT speakers and automatic lighting, it delivers an escalating response that warns intruders they are being monitored. In a town like Petworth, where police resources are stretched across a wide rural area, having a system that can intervene automatically is a game-changer.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your current setup to see if it can be integrated with our Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade your existing 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI system. We prioritise wired connections over wireless because they are more secure and cannot be jammed by the devices often used by modern burglars. This ensures that your Petworth home remains protected by a robust, unshakeable network that leverages your existing investment.

scOS uses a three-tier automated strategy to deter criminals. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your typical activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary—no manual 'tripwires' required. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and activates high-intensity lighting. This combination of making the house look lived-in and then providing a direct, vocal challenge to anyone who approaches suspiciously is incredibly effective at stopping crime before it starts.

Your data security and privacy are paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many other systems, scOS uses a hybrid processing model. Our Intelligence Hub processes the AI locally on your property for maximum speed and privacy, only using the cloud for secure escalation and remote access. Your data is yours alone; we never sell it to third parties. You have 24/7 access to your recordings for up to two weeks, ensuring you have total oversight of your property from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your door, but it doesn't stop them from being there. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary using MotionX. More importantly, scOS doesn't require you to be on your phone to respond to a threat. It handles the intervention automatically using external IoT speakers and lights. For Petworth residents with larger properties or multiple entrances, a doorbell is a minor inconvenience for a thief; scOS is a comprehensive security guard that proactively protects every corner of your home.

We understand that Petworth is home to many beautiful, historic properties. Our professional UK installation team is experienced in working with a variety of architectural styles. We use discreet, high-quality components and route all wiring professionally to ensure that the system is as unobtrusive as possible. The Intelligence Hub is compact, and the external IoT speakers are positioned to be effective without being an eyesore. We focus on protecting your home's aesthetic while providing the most advanced AI security available, ensuring your property is both safe and visually preserved.

Petworth’s location makes it a target for mobile criminal groups who use the local road network to scout for high-value targets. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically scans the registration plates of vehicles entering your driveway. It checks these against the national database to flag cloned plates or vehicles that don't match their registration. If a suspicious vehicle is detected, scOS Director can alert you immediately. This provides an essential early warning system, helping you identify potential threats before they even step out of their car.

Petworth is a wonderful place to live, but its moderate crime rate means complacency can be a risk. Many residents are active in the community or enjoy the South Downs, leaving their homes empty for long periods. scOS is designed for this lifestyle. Our Presence Simulation ensures your home never looks like an easy target while you're out. Furthermore, our scOS Director allows you to ask natural questions like 'Who was at the gate this morning?' giving you a quick, conversational way to stay informed about your home's security without having to scroll through hours of footage.
