Most CCTV systems are passive; they record a crime while it happens but do nothing to stop it. scOS is fundamentally different because it is a proactive intelligence system. While traditional cameras rely on 'motion masks' that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only. It recognises people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their silhouette, resulting in zero false alarms. Instead of just watching, scOS intervenes the moment a threat is detected, using automated light responses and voice deterrents to turn your cameras from witnesses into active guards. It doesn't just document your loss; it prevents it from happening in the first place.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. We work with almost all professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes between 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX AI and proactive deterrent features to your current setup, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement while vastly upgrading your home's protection levels.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, our primary passive deterrent; it learns your household's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making your home appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone crosses your property boundary—even if they are wearing a mask or hood. Finally, the system uses Active Intervention. If a threat is detected, scOS triggers an escalating response: instant illumination from smart lighting followed by authoritative warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, automated response signals to the intruder that they have been spotted by an active system, usually causing them to flee before they even reach your door.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data and AI processing are handled through a combination of local processing on your Intelligence Hub and secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data remains yours and is never sold or shared with 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 our infrastructure within the UK, we ensure the highest standards of data protection and provide you with a system you can trust implicitly.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived, often after they've already tried the handle. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, detecting threats at the edge of your land. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS identifies the intruder the moment they step onto your driveway and uses active deterrents to drive them away. It is a comprehensive security solution rather than just a digital peephole.

Reydon is a beautiful, quiet village, but its proximity to Southwold makes it a target for opportunistic crime, especially during the busy tourist seasons. scOS is particularly effective here because it doesn't suffer from the 'noise' of a busy coastal area. Our MotionX technology ignores the movement of seagulls, wind-blown trees, or shadows, focusing only on genuine human threats. This means you won't be pestered by false alerts while enjoying a walk on the beach or a meal at the local pub. It provides the peace of mind that your home is being watched by a system that knows the difference between a holidaymaker and a prowler.

Absolutely. For residents in Reydon who may have second homes or travel frequently, our Presence Simulation is a game-changer. It doesn't just turn lights on and off on a simple timer; it uses AI to mimic the actual rhythm of your life inside the house. This makes it virtually impossible for a criminal 'casing' the area to tell that the property is empty. Combined with our escalating voice deterrents, scOS ensures that even if you are miles away, your home in Reydon continues to defend itself as if you were right there in the living room.

scOS is built for reliability. We prefer wired connections over wireless because they cannot be jammed by the 'de-auth' tools often used by modern burglars to disable Wi-Fi cameras. Our Intelligence Hub processes the core AI locally, meaning the most critical detection features continue to function even if your internet connection wavers. In a village like Reydon, where rural broadband can sometimes be inconsistent, this local-first approach ensures that your proactive protection—like the automatic lights and voice warnings—remains active 24/7, regardless of your external connection status.
