Traditional CCTV is a 'passive' witness; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is an 'active' intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on motion masks that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, scOS uses MotionX. This revolutionary technology focuses only on 'important activity,' meaning it ignores cobwebs, spiders, and wind while instantly recognising a human presence. Because it understands your property boundaries automatically, it doesn't just record—it monitors and intervenes the moment a threat is detected. This provides a proactive shield that old-fashioned systems simply cannot match, ensuring that you are only alerted when there is a genuine reason for concern, with zero false alarms.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a highly intelligent security network. We are compatible with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes between four to six hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it meets the technical requirements for our Intelligence Hub. By upgrading your existing setup with scOS, you gain all the benefits of proactive AI monitoring and voice deterrence without needing to replace every camera on your property, making it a cost-effective way to achieve elite-level security.

scOS employs a three-tier deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation uses AI to mimic human activity inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're away at work or on holiday. Second, our MotionX technology identifies 'important activity'—it recognises a person even if they are trying to hide their face or crawling, ignoring animals or wind. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers to drive intruders away before they touch your door. This proactive approach ensures that criminals are identified and deterred long before they can cause any damage to your property.

At scOS, we take your privacy as seriously as your security. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. All your video data and personal information are stored in secure UK data centres and are fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the heavy lifting locally on your property, only escalating to our secure cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. Most importantly, your data belongs to you; we never sell your information to third parties or use it for anything other than protecting your home and providing you with the best possible service.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived, which is often too late to prevent a crime. scOS offers whole-property protection that starts at your boundary, not your doorstep. While a doorbell might catch a package thief in the act, scOS uses MotionX and proactive boundary detection to spot suspicious behaviour before an intruder even reaches your home. With features like Presence Simulation and escalating voice warnings from external speakers, scOS is designed to stop a break-in from happening, whereas a doorbell merely provides a recording of the event after the fact. It is the difference between a witness and a guard.

With property crime in Rownhams and Nursling trending above the national average, speed of intervention is vital. scOS doesn't wait for you to check your phone; it responds in milliseconds. The moment an intruder crosses your boundary, the system can trigger instant floodlights and a voice warning. This immediate, automated response is designed to startle and deter criminals before they even reach your house. Because the system processes activity locally on the scOS Intelligence Hub, there is no 'cloud lag'—the deterrent is instant, providing the fastest possible protection for your home and family.

Properties bordering the M27 often face unique security challenges, including noise and high volumes of passing traffic. scOS is perfectly suited for this. Our MotionX technology is intelligent enough to ignore the constant movement of cars on the motorway, focusing only on 'important activity' within your property lines. We can position cameras and external IoT speakers to provide a robust shield for the rear of your property, ensuring that any attempt to enter from the motorway side is met with an immediate, proactive deterrent. This gives you total peace of mind, even in a high-traffic location.

The M27 corridor is often used by criminals in stolen or cloned vehicles. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically scans the plates of any car entering your driveway. It checks these against the national database and alerts you if a vehicle is suspicious or unrecognised. This is a powerful tool for Rownhams and Nursling residents, as it allows you to identify potential threats before they have even exited their vehicle. By integrating this data with our proactive deterrents, scOS provides a level of vehicle security that standard CCTV simply cannot match.
