Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage for a police report. scOS is proactive, using our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person loitering near your gable end—rather than just motion like wind or cats. Because it understands context, it can trigger automatic interventions like lights and voice warnings to stop a burglar before they touch your door. There are no motion masks to draw; the AI automatically learns your property boundaries in Rowhedge and ignores the street, ensuring zero false alarms and genuine protection.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. If you already have wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink installed at your Rowhedge property, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate them. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By layering our AI over your current cameras, you get all the benefits of proactive protection without needing to replace every piece of hardware you already own.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home when you're away, making it look occupied to anyone watching from the street. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour regardless of whether a person is wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers active interventions: instant illumination and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This multi-stage approach is designed to make a criminal decide your home isn't worth the risk.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your footage is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and then escalated to our secure UK data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data remains yours—we never sell it or use it for third-party training. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS protects your entire property boundary, not just the front step. While a doorbell is a reactive tool, scOS is a proactive intelligence system that identifies threats at the edge of your property and intervenes to prevent the crime from happening in the first place. For residents in villages like Rowhedge, where properties often have larger footprints or side access, a doorbell simply isn't enough.

For the many Rowhedge residents who commute to Colchester or London, leaving the house empty all day is a major concern. Our Presence Simulation feature is designed specifically for this. It doesn't just turn lights on and off; it uses AI to simulate realistic human activity patterns inside your home. This makes your property look occupied even when you're on the train, acting as a powerful deterrent to daytime burglars.

Rowhedge's beautiful riverside location can sometimes mean tricky lighting or movement from the water and trees. Our MotionX technology is revolutionary because it ignores 'noise' like cobwebs, wind, and animals. It focuses solely on important activity, meaning you won't get false alerts from the Colne's breeze or local wildlife. It recognises people even if they are trying to conceal their shape, ensuring your riverside home is always protected.

Essex Police are increasingly focused on high-value vehicle theft. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs every car that enters your driveway and checks it against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a known suspicious history is detected, the system can alert you immediately. This provides an extra layer of security for Rowhedge families with multiple vehicles parked outside.
