Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on 'motion masks' that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced neural networks to identify 'important activity' only. It recognises people regardless of their movement or if they are trying to hide their face, resulting in zero false alarms. Instead of just watching a burglary, scOS uses an Intelligence Hub to detect threats at your boundary and deploy immediate deterrents like automated lighting and voice warnings to stop the intruder before they reach your door.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our local Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX detection and proactive deterrent features without you needing to replace your entire infrastructure, provided the cameras meet basic resolution and connectivity standards.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal touches a handle. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary—even if the person is wearing a mask or hood. Finally, the system initiates an Active Intervention. If a threat is detected, scOS triggers instant external lighting and delivers escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This 'escalating response' makes it clear to the intruder that they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub before being securely escalated to our UK-based data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data remains entirely yours; we never sell or share your information with third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you someone is at the door, but often only after they've already pressed the button or triggered a laggy sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including side gates, gardens, and driveways. More importantly, a doorbell just records; scOS intervenes. By the time a criminal reaches a position where a doorbell would see them, scOS has already identified them, simulated your presence inside, and issued a voice warning to move them away from your home entirely.

Rowlands Castle is known for its beautiful, often sprawling properties and proximity to the South Downs, which can provide cover for intruders. Our AI-driven boundary detection automatically maps your property lines, ensuring that any approach from wooded areas or large gardens is detected instantly. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't need you to draw lines on a screen; it understands the layout of your Hampshire estate and protects every entry point, from the main driveway to the rear paddock.

Many residents in Rowlands Castle have outbuildings, garages for classic cars, or home offices that are prime targets for theft. scOS treats these as integral parts of your home's ecosystem. Our MotionX technology monitors these structures 24/7, and our DVLA Vehicle Recognition can alert you if an unrecognised vehicle enters your driveway. If someone approaches your garage at 3 AM, the system won't just record them; it will activate lights and a voice deterrent to ensure they know the property is intelligently protected.

Hampshire Constabulary values high-quality evidence. scOS provides 24/7 recording with up to two weeks of storage, but more importantly, it provides 'Director'—our conversational AI. You can ask scOS Director, 'Did any red vans enter the drive last week?' or 'Show me everyone who approached the side gate while I was at work.' This allows you to find and provide specific, timestamped evidence to the police in seconds, rather than scrolling through hours of useless footage.
