Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records crime as it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a person in a hoodie after the damage is done. scOS transforms your security into a proactive 'digital guard' using our MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that require complex 'motion masks' to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX intelligently identifies 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour—out of the box. It doesn't just watch; it understands and intervenes, ensuring you aren't plagued by false alerts while guaranteeing that genuine threats are met with an immediate response.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing infrastructure. If you have professional-grade wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate them into the scOS ecosystem. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering our AI over your existing 'dumb' cameras, we transform them into an intelligent, proactive defence network without the need for a total hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home (like lights and TV usage) to make it look occupied even when you're on holiday. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing masks or trying to hide. Finally, the system triggers an Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver authoritative AI voice warnings while smart lighting illuminates the area. This escalating response is designed to stop a criminal in their tracks before they ever touch a door or window.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based cloud servers for storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information stay yours and are never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your data, which is accessible only to you via our secure app, with up to two weeks of 24/7 recording stored at any time.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire boundary, detecting threats at the edge of your property. More importantly, scOS is designed to prevent the crime from happening in the first place through active intervention and presence simulation, rather than just providing a recording of the person who stole your parcel.

Rural Chelmsford properties often have large perimeters that are difficult to monitor. scOS uses AI to automatically detect your property boundaries, no matter how large or irregular they are. Our MotionX technology is perfect for these environments, as it can distinguish between a deer or fox and a human intruder, ensuring you only get alerted when there's a real threat to your estate.

Yes, scOS is highly effective at protecting outbuildings, barns, and machinery. By extending your security network to these areas, scOS can detect someone approaching your equipment and trigger an immediate voice deterrent. This is a vital tool for rural homeowners in Essex who need to protect more than just their main residence.

With easy access to the A12, rural Chelmsford can be a target for criminals using vehicles to scout properties. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs every vehicle that enters your property and checks its registration against the DVLA database. This provides you with a detailed log of all vehicle activity, helping to identify and deter suspicious visitors.
