Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, scOS uses our proprietary MotionX technology. MotionX is engineered to identify 'important activity' only, meaning it ignores spiders, cobwebs, and wind while instantly recognising a human presence, even if they are trying to hide their silhouette. Instead of just filming a break-in, scOS intervenes the moment a boundary is crossed, using AI to deter the intruder before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have an existing wired IP camera system—such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink—we can usually transform those 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent scOS-powered network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX AI and proactive deterrents to your current setup. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI intelligence without the cost of replacing every camera on your property, provided they meet the necessary technical standards for a wired connection.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied to anyone watching from the street. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your property boundaries—regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or a hood. Finally, the system triggers an Active Intervention. This isn't just a quiet notification on your phone; scOS activates external IoT speakers to deliver AI-generated voice warnings and triggers instant illumination. These escalating responses signal to the criminal that they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the initial AI analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced processing or remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, ensuring you can access it from anywhere in the world while knowing it remains under UK legal protection.

A video doorbell tells you someone is at the door; scOS protects your entire property. doorbells are reactive—they often only alert you once someone is already pressing the button or standing on your mat. scOS uses AI to monitor your entire property boundary, detecting threats before they even reach the house. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and easily jammed; scOS uses professional wired connections for reliability. While a doorbell might give you a video of a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief from entering your driveway in the first place through proactive voice and light deterrents. It is a comprehensive security ecosystem, not just a digital peephole.

In a high-crime area like Greenwich, speed is everything. scOS uses a local Intelligence Hub to process AI detections instantly on-site. This means there is no delay while waiting for a cloud server to 'think.' The moment someone crosses your boundary, the lights and voice deterrents trigger. This local processing also ensures that even if your internet connection is interrupted, your home's proactive deterrents will still function, providing a level of reliability that purely cloud-based systems can't match.

scOS is designed to be discreet. Our professional UK installation team ensures that all wiring is hidden and that the Intelligence Hub is tucked away securely. While the system is powerful, it doesn't need to look like a fortress. The 'intelligence' is in the software, allowing you to maintain the aesthetic of your Greenwich home while benefiting from the most advanced AI security available in the UK. We use high-quality, compact cameras that blend into your property's architecture.

Yes. scOS features Activity Pattern Recognition. It learns the 'rhythm' of your home—when you usually leave, when you return, and which areas of the property are used at certain times. If it detects an anomaly—such as someone in your side alley at 2 PM on a Tuesday when the house is usually empty—it flags this as suspicious. This 'behavioural' approach is far more effective than simple motion sensors, as it understands the context of what is happening on your property.
