Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop the crime from happening in the first place. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that trigger alerts for every swaying branch or passing cat, MotionX ignores 'noise' like spiders and wind, focusing only on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their figure. Because it understands what it's seeing, scOS can trigger immediate, automated responses—like turning on lights or issuing a voice warning—the moment a boundary is crossed, rather than just sending you a notification of a burglary in progress.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to breathe new life into 'dumb' camera setups. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate them into the scOS ecosystem. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our local processing hub, we transform them into intelligent sensors capable of boundary detection, person recognition, and proactive deterrence. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the cost of replacing every piece of hardware you already own.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal touches your property. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home appear occupied even when you're away. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the very edge of your property. Finally, if a threat persists, the system initiates an escalating response. This includes instant illumination and clear, AI-driven voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. Unlike a simple alarm, scOS 'talks back' to the intruder, letting them know they have been detected and identified, which is usually enough to make any criminal flee immediately.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then securely backed up to our UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information stay yours—we never sell data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. By keeping everything within the UK, we ensure the highest standards of data protection and legal compliance.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, from side gates to rear gardens. More importantly, scOS is designed to prevent the approach. While a doorbell might record a masked intruder, scOS detects that person at the fence line, recognises the attempt to conceal their face, and uses proactive voice deterrents to stop them before they ever reach your front door. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a digital security guard.

Pirton is a beautiful, historic village, but its proximity to Hitchin and Luton means it's not immune to regional crime trends. scOS provides a proactive layer of security that maintains your peace of mind. By detecting threats at your boundary and deterring them with voice warnings, scOS ensures that your home remains a safe haven, even if crime rates in the wider area fluctuate.

Yes, scOS is ideal for the historic and character properties found in Pirton. Our professional UK installers are experienced in working with older buildings, ensuring that wired connections are installed discreetly and without damaging the property's character. We provide modern, world-class AI security that respects the heritage of your home.

For Pirton residents commuting to London or nearby towns, Presence Simulation is essential. It replicates your home's natural activity patterns, making it look occupied while you're away. This is a far more effective deterrent than simple light timers, as it makes your home a 'hard target' for burglars scouting the village during the day.
