Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, which is often too late. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Using our proprietary MotionX AI, the system understands the context of movement, distinguishing between a stray animal and a person attempting to conceal themselves. Unlike standard systems that require you to manually draw 'motion zones'—which are often inaccurate—scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a security guard.

In most cases, yes. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with high-quality wired IP cameras from manufacturers like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing setup. We install the scOS Intelligence Hub, which connects to your cameras and transforms them from 'dumb' recording devices into an intelligent, AI-powered network. This allows you to keep your existing hardware while gaining world-class features like MotionX detection and DVLA-linked vehicle recognition without the need for a total system overhaul.

scOS uses a three-tier strategy to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're away. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies 'important activity' at your property boundary, even if an intruder is wearing a mask or a hood. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If someone enters your property, scOS triggers an escalating response: instant illumination followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By the time a criminal gets near your home, they know they've been spotted and that the system is actively tracking them.

We take your privacy incredibly seriously. Unlike many global brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and then escalated to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. By keeping everything within the UK, we ensure the highest standards of data protection and provide you with a system you can truly trust.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is already at your door. scOS is a proactive perimeter defense system. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from ever reaching your porch. We monitor your entire property boundary, not just the front door. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and prone to signal jamming or battery failure. scOS uses professional wired connections and advanced AI like MotionX to ensure zero false alarms and 24/7 reliability that a doorbell simply cannot match.

Rural Breckland is full of wildlife, from deer to foxes, which usually wreak havoc on traditional motion-sensing cameras. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically trained to ignore animals. It focuses only on 'important activity'—human behavior. This means you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a badger in your garden. You only get alerted when there is a genuine human threat, making the system incredibly reliable for rural Norfolk properties.

Yes, scOS is a whole-property solution. During our professional installation, we can ensure that your outbuildings, barns, or workshops are integrated into the AI network. These areas will benefit from the same MotionX detection and escalating deterrents as your main house. Because we use wired connections, we can provide reliable security even for buildings that are a significant distance from your main router, which is often a challenge in rural Breckland.

Presence Simulation is perfect for rural Breckland, where properties can be isolated. The AI learns your daily habits—like which lights you turn on in the evening or when you watch TV—and replicates them when you're away. To an outside observer, it looks like someone is home and moving from room to room. This is a powerful deterrent that prevents your home from looking like an easy, unoccupied target in the quiet Norfolk countryside.
