Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime for you to watch later. scOS is proactive, designed to stop the crime before it happens. Our MotionX technology is a revolutionary leap forward, focusing on 'important activity' rather than just pixels moving. Unlike standard systems that require complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from the wind or spiders, MotionX works out of the box. It ignores cobwebs, animals, and environmental noise, but instantly recognises a person whether they are walking, crawling, or attempting to hide their figure. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automated light and voice responses to drive intruders away.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them into an intelligent AI system. During our professional installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Hub, we can apply our MotionX detection and proactive deterrent layers to your current setup, saving you the cost of full hardware replacement while vastly upgrading your home's intelligence.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, our primary passive deterrent. It learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them while you're away—turning internal lights and devices on and off to make the property appear occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the boundary without false alarms. Finally, if a threat persists, scOS initiates an active intervention. This includes instant illumination of external lights and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These warnings are delivered by AI to inform the intruder they have been detected and the police are being notified.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike many competitors, we never sell your data. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes video locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud when AI analysis or remote access is required. You have full control over your recordings, with up to two weeks of 24/7 footage accessible only to you through our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that shows you who is at your front door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While a doorbell might catch a parcel thief after the fact, scOS is designed to stop a break-in before it starts. We use professional-grade wired cameras that cannot be jammed like wireless doorbells, and our AI monitors every angle of your property, not just the entrance. With scOS, you aren't just watching your porch; you are securing your entire perimeter with proactive AI intervention.

Rural Coventry properties often include outbuildings, barns, or detached garages that are prime targets for theft. scOS's MotionX technology is perfect for these areas, as it can distinguish between a fox or a swaying branch and a person attempting to break in. Our AI-driven boundary detection ensures that your entire perimeter, including distant outbuildings, is monitored and protected with the same proactive deterrents as your main house.

Yes. For residents in the West Midlands, vehicle crime is a persistent concern. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically checks the registration of any car entering your property. If the vehicle is using cloned plates or has been flagged in the national database, scOS will alert you immediately and can trigger voice warnings to deter the occupants before they even exit the vehicle, providing a vital layer of protection for your driveway.

scOS uses professional-grade wired IP cameras that are far more reliable than wireless alternatives. In rural areas where WiFi signals can be weak or easily jammed by criminals, our wired system ensures your security remains online and unshakeable. The installation is handled by our UK-based professional engineers in a single day, ensuring your Rural Coventry home is fully protected without the vulnerabilities of wireless technology.
