Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens so you can watch the footage later. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just detect motion; it identifies "important activity," such as a person approaching your boundary, while ignoring wind, animals, or spiders. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS auto-detects your property lines and uses external IoT speakers and lighting to intervene and deter intruders before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, 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. We transform your "dumb" cameras into an intelligent network by connecting them to our Intelligence Hub, which provides the local processing power needed for our advanced AI features. This allows you to upgrade to world-class intelligence without the cost of replacing all your existing cameras.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your internal activity patterns and replicate them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, MotionX detection identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Finally, the system uses active intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS triggers instant illumination and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they have been spotted and are being monitored.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data stays yours and is never sold to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid approach: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes video locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door—often when it's already too late. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view and often relies on "dumb" motion sensing that triggers for every passing car, scOS monitors your entire boundary. It identifies threats at the edge of your property, provides escalating deterrents to stop them, and uses DVLA-linked vehicle recognition to flag suspicious cars. It’s a comprehensive security shield, not just a digital peephole.

With property crime in Rural Ashfield exceeding the national average, you need a system that identifies threats instantly. scOS uses Covered Face Detection to flag anyone approaching your home with their face concealed by a balaclava, hood, or mask. While traditional cameras might just record a blurry figure, scOS recognises this as suspicious behaviour and immediately triggers escalating deterrents, such as voice warnings and bright lights, to stop a potential burglary before it begins.

In areas with higher property crime, knowing who is scouting your street is vital. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically logs the registration of every vehicle that enters your property's vicinity. It can identify cloned plates or vehicles that have been flagged for suspicious activity elsewhere. This data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub, giving you a powerful tool to protect your property and provide Nottinghamshire Police with high-quality intelligence if needed.

Burglars in Ashfield often look for homes that appear empty during the day or evening. Our Presence Simulation uses AI to learn your household's unique activity patterns—like which lights you turn on when you get home or which rooms you use most. When you're out, scOS replicates these patterns inside your home, making it look genuinely occupied. This is a far more effective deterrent than simple timers, as it makes your home a much less attractive target for opportunistic thieves.
