Standard CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime while it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a masked intruder after the damage is done. scOS transforms your security into a proactive digital guard using our proprietary MotionX technology, which ignores irrelevant movement like swaying trees or foxes to focus exclusively on 'important activity.' Unlike traditional systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries and intervenes the moment a threat is detected. By using AI to trigger instant light and voice responses, we stop incidents before they escalate, rather than just providing a video of the aftermath.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have a professional-grade wired IP system—such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink—our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with it to provide the AI 'brain' your current setup lacks. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current cameras to ensure they meet the clarity requirements for our MotionX detection. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI intelligence without the cost of replacing every single camera on your Mid Sussex property.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal reaches your door. First, our 'Presence Simulation' makes your home appear occupied by mimicking natural human activity patterns inside the house, which is the most effective way to discourage burglars from choosing your home as a target. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour at the very edge of your property, recognising people even if they are wearing hoods or masks. Finally, if an intruder persists, the system initiates an escalating response: instant illumination followed by clear, authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers, making it clear the property is being actively monitored.

Your privacy is our absolute priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Unlike many competitors who send your private video feeds to overseas servers, your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub before being securely escalated to our UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your data with third parties. You retain full control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, allowing you to access it securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole that only monitors a tiny fraction of your property and often relies on easily-jammed WiFi signals. In contrast, scOS provides comprehensive intelligence for your entire property, using hardwired connections that cannot be defeated by signal jammers. While a doorbell tells you someone is at the door, scOS detects a prowler at your boundary fence, identifies their vehicle via DVLA-linked recognition, and proactively warns them off before they ever reach your home. It is the difference between being notified of a visitor and having a professional security team protecting your entire perimeter.

Rural properties in Mid Sussex often have complex boundaries that traditional 'tripwire' software struggles with. scOS uses AI to automatically detect your property lines without any manual setup, ensuring that your garden, driveway, and outbuildings are protected while ignoring public footpaths or neighbouring fields. This is particularly useful for larger Sussex estates where manual zone configuration is often inaccurate and prone to false alerts.

Absolutely. One of the most powerful features for Sussex residents is our DVLA-integrated vehicle recognition. The system doesn't just see a car; it checks the registration against the DVLA database to identify the make and model. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a known suspicious history enters your driveway, scOS identifies the anomaly and alerts you immediately, providing a vital layer of protection against organised vehicle theft.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security as if you were talking to a live security guard. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Director, did any delivery vans arrive while I was at work?' or 'Was there anyone in the back garden last night?' The AI understands natural language and will provide you with a summary of relevant events, saving you time and providing instant peace of mind.
