Standard CCTV is a 'passive' observer; it records your home being burgled but does nothing to stop it. In Rough Common, where many residents commute to Canterbury or London, a system that only records is insufficient. scOS is 'proactive.' Our MotionX technology identifies 'important activity'—specifically human threats—and ignores false alarms like foxes or wind-blown branches in the nearby Blean Woods. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just send a notification; it actively intervenes with light and voice warnings to scare the intruder away before they can cause damage.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If your Rough Common home already has a wired IP camera system (such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink), we can usually integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This 'brains-only' upgrade transforms your existing cameras into a proactive AI system. During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK engineers will verify your hardware and ensure everything is optimised. We prefer wired systems over wireless because they are immune to the 'jamming' techniques increasingly used by modern burglars.

We use three distinct layers of AI-driven deterrence. First, Presence Simulation uses your home's internal IoT devices to mimic your typical activity patterns, making the house look occupied while you're at work. Second, MotionX detection monitors your boundaries 24/7, recognising people even if they are disguised or hiding. Third, Active Intervention triggers external IoT speakers and lights to deliver escalating warnings. This combination ensures that any potential intruder feels watched and exposed, forcing them to abandon their attempt long before they reach a window or door.

We take data sovereignty seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. Unlike other brands that process your private video in overseas clouds, scOS uses a hybrid approach: local processing on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action, and secure UK cloud backup for remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring your data remains your property and is never sold. You can access your 24/7 recordings from anywhere via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often easily bypassed or ignored by seasoned criminals. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary—including side gates and back gardens—and acts before a criminal even reaches your door. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from stepping onto your driveway in the first place. It’s a professional-grade security solution compared to a consumer-grade gadget.

Rough Common is a popular area for commuters, meaning many homes are empty during standard working hours. scOS is perfect for this lifestyle. Our Presence Simulation doesn't just use simple timers; it learns your actual habits to create a convincing 'lived-in' look. Furthermore, if an anomaly is detected while you're on the train or in the office, the system handles the intervention automatically, so you don't have to constantly monitor your phone to keep your home safe.

Living near the Blean Woods means plenty of wildlife and moving foliage, which causes constant false alarms on traditional motion-sensing cameras. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically engineered to ignore 'unimportant' motion like swaying trees, shadows, or animals. It focuses exclusively on human activity and vehicle patterns. This means when your phone pings, it’s because there is a genuine concern, not just a squirrel in the garden, giving you true peace of mind.

Yes. scOS includes DVLA-linked vehicle recognition. It can identify the make, model, and registration of vehicles entering your property. More importantly, it can cross-reference these with the DVLA database to flag cloned plates or suspicious vehicles that have been seen loitering in the area. This is a powerful tool for Rough Common residents to identify 'scouting' behaviour before a crime is ever attempted.
