Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune for later review. scOS transforms your security into a proactive shield using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on 'motion masks' and frequently trigger false alarms from swaying trees or passing shadows, MotionX understands 'important activity.' It ignores cobwebs, spiders, and weather, focusing exclusively on genuine threats like people or vehicles. When a potential intruder is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents to stop the crime before it happens. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We transform 'dumb' cameras into intelligent sensors by offloading the processing to our local hub and cloud infrastructure. This means you don't need to replace your entire investment to benefit from our advanced AI features like DVLA vehicle recognition or proactive voice deterrents.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home appear occupied even when you're away. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour regardless of whether an intruder is wearing a mask or trying to hide their figure. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers Active Intervention. This includes instant illumination of the area and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By detecting the property boundary automatically and responding the moment a line is crossed, scOS ensures criminals feel watched and unwelcome long before they reach your door.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All video processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before escalating to our secure UK-based data centres for advanced AI analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data remains entirely yours; we never sell or share your footage with third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. By keeping our operations, support, and data storage within the UK, we ensure the highest standards of digital security and legal protection for Camden residents.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door—often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from your driveway to your back garden. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime, not just record it. A doorbell won't simulate your presence inside the house or issue escalating voice warnings to a prowler in your garden. With scOS, you get a professional-grade, wired system that can't be jammed like wireless doorbells, providing a robust defence that covers every corner of your home.

In the 'rural' fringes of Camden, such as Highgate or Hampstead, the contrast between quiet streets and the surrounding city can make homes a target for urban-fringe crime. scOS uses 'Person Recognition' to distinguish between your family, known staff (like gardeners or cleaners), and strangers. Because it's based on behaviour rather than just facial features, it can identify a stranger loitering near your boundary even if they are trying to blend in. This allows for high-priority alerts that are actually relevant, ensuring you aren't bothered by the 'noise' of the city but are immediately informed of a genuine threat.

London properties are often targeted by sophisticated thieves who use signal jammers to disable wireless security systems. scOS is a professionally installed, wired system (Power over Ethernet). This means it cannot be jammed and doesn't rely on the stability of your Wi-Fi to function. For Camden residents, this provides a level of reliability that DIY wireless systems simply cannot match. Our 4-6 hour professional installation ensures that your system is robust, secure, and ready to protect your home 24/7, regardless of local signal interference.

Absolutely. Our 'Presence Simulation' is designed for exactly this. It doesn't just turn lights on and off; it replicates your actual living patterns. If you usually spend your evenings in the study or have specific lighting habits, scOS will mimic them. To anyone watching from the street, your home looks occupied and active. This is a powerful deterrent in Camden, where empty properties are often scouted by opportunistic burglars. You can enjoy your time away with the peace of mind that your home is actively defending itself.
