Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your property being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime before it happens. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only. It recognises humans and vehicles with 99.9% accuracy, meaning zero false alarms. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it acts. By using external IoT speakers and automatic light responses, the system delivers escalating warnings to intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, often scaring them off before they even reach your front door. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a truly intelligent network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video feeds locally before escalating critical data to our UK-based cloud for AI analysis. This means you don't need to strip out your existing investment to benefit from world-class AI protection, though we can also provide high-specification cameras if you're looking for a complete upgrade.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away, the system learns your typical habits and simulates human activity inside the home to make it appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection; unlike basic sensors, it recognises people regardless of whether they are crouching, wearing a mask, or trying to hide. Once a threat is identified crossing your property boundary, the third layer—Active Intervention—kicks in. The system triggers instant illumination and delivers authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. These responses are escalating; if the intruder persists, the warnings become more urgent. By combining the appearance of a busy home with immediate, intelligent feedback, scOS removes the 'easy target' status that criminals look for in Rural Eden.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands that ship data to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. All video processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub. When the AI identifies a potential threat, only the relevant data is escalated to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres for further analysis. Your data remains yours; we never sell it to third parties or use it for advertising. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. Because we are a British company, we adhere to the strictest data protection laws in the world, ensuring your home's intelligence stays within the UK.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you someone is at the door, but often only after they've already pressed the button or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including side gates, driveways, and gardens. More importantly, doorbells are passive—they might send a notification to your phone, but they won't stop a criminal. scOS proactively intervenes with lights and voice deterrents. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and easily jammed; scOS uses professional wired connections for 24/7 reliability. It doesn't just show you who's there; it prevents them from being there in the first place.

In the Eden Valley, properties are often spread out, making them targets for agricultural and domestic theft. scOS uses AI to learn the 'normal' behaviour of your property. It knows when a delivery driver is expected versus when a stranger is scouting your outbuildings at 2 AM. Because it auto-detects boundaries, it can protect large gardens and yards without needing complex setup. If an anomaly is detected, the system doesn't just alert you; it uses voice deterrents to let the intruder know they are being watched by an intelligent system, which is usually enough to send them packing.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security as if you were talking to a guard. You can ask natural questions like, 'Has any strange vehicle been on the lane today?' or 'Is everything quiet at the back of the house?' The AI reviews your footage and data to give you a plain-English answer. For residents in Rural Eden who may be away from home for long periods, this provides a quick and intuitive way to check on their property without scrolling through hours of empty video.

Absolutely. We understand that rural internet can be temperamental. The scOS Intelligence Hub does the heavy lifting locally on your property. It processes the video feeds and makes immediate decisions about deterrents (like lights and voice) without needing an internet connection. The cloud is used for advanced analysis and sending notifications to your phone. This hybrid approach ensures that even if your internet drops out, your home's proactive 'brain' is still active and protecting your boundary.
