Traditional CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records a crime as it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is fundamentally different because it is a proactive intelligence system. While your current cameras might send you a notification for every swaying branch or passing cat, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to filter out the noise. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity,' such as a person approaching your boundary or a vehicle lingering outside. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it acts. Through automatic property boundary detection, the system identifies when someone has crossed onto your land and can trigger an escalating response, from illuminating floodlights to delivering authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. It transforms your security from a passive record-keeper into an active, 24/7 digital guard that intervenes before a break-in can even occur. This means zero false alarms and genuine protection for your Potterne home.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. We can take your existing 'dumb' wired IP cameras—whether they are Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti—and give them a 'brain.' During our professional UK installation, which typically takes between 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we connect them to our Intelligence Hub, which processes the footage locally before escalating critical data to our secure UK cloud. This means you don't have to invest in an entirely new set of cameras to benefit from our proactive AI features like MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition. We simply upgrade your current setup into a high-performance intelligence network, saving you money while significantly enhancing your home's security posture.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to ensure criminals never even attempt to enter your home. The first layer is Presence Simulation. This is a primary passive deterrent that makes your home appear occupied by simulating realistic human activity patterns inside, such as lights turning on and off in different rooms, which is far more effective than simple timers. The second layer is our MotionX detection. Unlike standard motion sensors, MotionX is incredibly intelligent; it recognises people regardless of how they move, what they are wearing, or if they are trying to cover their faces. Finally, if an intruder ignores these signs and enters your property, scOS initiates Active Intervention. This involves instant illumination of the area and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By the time a criminal reaches your door, they already know they've been spotted and recorded, usually causing them to flee immediately.

At scOS, we take your privacy as seriously as your security. Unlike many international brands, we are a 100% UK-based company. This means all your data is stored in UK-based data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. Your data stays yours; we never sell it or share it with third parties for marketing. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the heavy lifting locally on your property. Only when an 'important event' is detected is the data escalated to our secure cloud for 24/7 recording and remote access. You have full control over your footage, which is stored for up to two weeks, allowing you to review events from anywhere in the world via our secure app. We provide the peace of mind that comes with professional-grade security without compromising your personal privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. In contrast, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens across your entire property. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from your driveway to your back garden. Our system doesn't just show you a recording of a package being stolen; it uses AI to detect the person the moment they step onto your land and deters them with voice warnings and lights before they reach the door. Furthermore, scOS includes advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection that standard doorbells simply cannot match. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a professional security team watching over your entire Potterne property 24/7.

Potterne is a historic village, and we understand that many residents live in older or listed properties. scOS is designed to be as discreet as possible. We can often use small, high-performance cameras that blend into the architecture of your home. Because our system is brand-agnostic, we have a wide range of hardware options to choose from. Our professional UK installers are experienced in working with historic buildings, ensuring that your security is effective without compromising the aesthetic of your property.

Potterne's location on the A360 means that many homes are close to a busy road. Traditional motion sensors would be triggered by every passing car or pedestrian. scOS uses AI-driven boundary detection to solve this. The system automatically identifies your property line and only monitors activity within that area. It ignores the 'normal' traffic on the A360, ensuring that you only receive alerts for genuine threats on your land. This makes it the perfect solution for homes in busy village centres.

Yes, scOS is excellent at identifying suspicious vehicle activity. If a car is idling outside your home or repeatedly driving past, our AI will flag this as an anomaly. By checking registrations against the DVLA database, it can even identify if a vehicle is using cloned plates. For residents in Potterne, where quiet streets make unusual vehicle patterns stand out, this provides a powerful early warning system that can prevent a crime before it even begins.
