Traditional CCTV systems are passive—they record everything, but you only see footage after a crime happens. scOS is actively intelligent. Our AI continuously monitors your property 24/7, learning what's normal and automatically detecting suspicious behaviour. Unlike basic motion sensors, our MotionX technology understands context—a cat crossing your garden won't trigger alerts, but someone trying doors will. scOS responds in seconds with Presence Simulation, MotionX deterrence, and active intervention, stopping crimes before they happen instead of just documenting them.

Yes. scOS works with most wired IP cameras already installed in your home. Our Intelligence Hub connects to your existing camera infrastructure and adds AI-powered monitoring on top. You don't need to replace working equipment—just give scOS the ability to process what those cameras see. If you need new cameras, we can supply professional-grade options, but compatibility with existing systems is one of scOS's key strengths.

scOS uses three integrated layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation creates the illusion someone's home by controlling lights, curtains, and audio in response to detected threats—criminals assume the house is occupied and move on. Second, MotionX flood lights trigger instantly when suspicious behaviour is detected, startling intruders and making the property an unappealing target. Third, active intervention enables direct response—visible alerts, siren activation, and coordination with emergency services if needed. Together, these layers make your property a hard target that criminals will avoid.

Your data stays in UK data centres. We're fully GDPR compliant and take your privacy seriously. All recordings and AI analysis are encrypted and stored securely within the UK. You maintain full control—scOS never sells your data, and we don't use your footage to train surveillance models. It's your security system working for you, not against you.

A video doorbell shows you who's at the door—after they're already there. scOS stops crime before it reaches your door. Our AI monitors your entire property boundary, detects suspicious behaviour in real-time, and responds automatically. A doorbell is reactive; scOS is preventative. Plus, scOS works everywhere on your property—front, back, sides—not just at the entrance.

scOS includes our Intelligence Hub (the brain of the system), AI monitoring software, professional installation support, and access to our cloud processing. You pay a single, predictable per-camera fee starting from 63p per day—no hidden monthly subscriptions, no surprise bills. If you're tech-confident, you can self-setup; otherwise, our installation team handles everything.

scOS requires an active internet connection for AI features to work. If your connection drops, local camera recording continues, but real-time AI detection and response features won't function until connection is restored. This is why we recommend reliable broadband—most homes with fibre or 4G backup don't experience extended outages. For critical security, many customers pair scOS with professional monitoring services that can respond if the AI isn't available.

scOS detects and responds in seconds. When suspicious behaviour is identified, the system instantly triggers Presence Simulation, activates lights and audio, and alerts you via the app. If active intervention is enabled, it can coordinate with emergency services immediately. Unlike waiting for someone to see CCTV footage, scOS acts in real-time when it matters most.

Yes. scOS uses external IoT devices for lights and audio, so there's no need to modify walls or run new wiring in ways that damage period features. For rentals, our system is non-invasive and can be removed without leaving a trace. Many Redbridge properties are Victorian or Edwardian homes where traditional installation is problematic—scOS is flexible enough to work within those constraints.

Our AI focuses on behaviour and movement patterns, not faces. It learns your property's boundaries and distinguishes between normal activity (residents, guests, delivery drivers) and threats (climbing walls, testing windows). The system doesn't use facial recognition—it uses intelligent motion analysis that respects privacy while protecting your home. You control exactly what areas the system monitors.

scOS integrates with most smart home systems—lights, locks, thermostats, speakers. When a threat is detected, scOS can trigger predefined automation routines. For example, it can unlock doors for a quick exit, activate all lights, and trigger audio alerts through your smart speakers. This integration makes scOS a natural part of your home automation rather than a separate, competing system.
