Traditional CCTV is a passive witness; it records a crime for you to watch later. scOS is a proactive guardian. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider or gust of wind, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only. It recognises people and vehicles with near-zero false alarms, meaning you won't be pestered by notifications for the neighbour's cat. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. By detecting threats at your property boundary, it can trigger lights and voice warnings to deter an intruder before they even reach your door. It transforms your security from a recording device into an active, intelligent deterrent that works 24/7 without needing you to draw complex 'tripwire' zones.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can often breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have a wired IP camera system—such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti—our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with it. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We 'supercharge' your existing cameras by applying our MotionX AI and scOS Director intelligence to their feeds. This allows you to keep your initial investment in hardware while upgrading to a world-class AI security layer that provides proactive protection rather than just simple recording. If your cameras are outdated or wireless, we can also provide high-quality wired replacements that are immune to WiFi jamming.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals in their tracks. The first layer is Presence Simulation. This is a passive deterrent that learns your home's normal activity patterns—like when lights go on or off—and replicates them when you're away, making your home look occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection. Unlike basic sensors, MotionX identifies 'important activity' instantly. It recognises people even if they are crawling, wearing masks, or trying to hide their figure. Finally, we have Active Intervention. If a threat is detected at your boundary, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI-generated voice warnings and illuminates the area with automatic light responses. This escalating response shows the intruder they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global brands that ship your footage to servers in the US or China, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your data is processed through our UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles much of the heavy lifting locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced AI analysis or remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell your information or footage to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is a great tool for seeing who is at the door, but it is fundamentally limited. It usually only covers a narrow field of vision and only alerts you once someone is already on your doorstep. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. Our AI auto-detects your entire property boundary, spotting a potential intruder the moment they step onto your driveway or garden, not just when they ring the bell. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the crime from happening in the first place through proactive voice deterrents and light responses. Furthermore, scOS is a professionally installed, wired system, making it far more reliable and harder to tamper with than battery-powered wireless doorbells.

In rural North Somerset, properties can be isolated, and police response times may be longer than in urban areas. scOS is designed to be your first line of defence. Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries and provides an immediate, escalating response to any intruder. By using external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggering automatic lights, scOS can deter a criminal before they even attempt to enter your home. This proactive approach is essential for rural security, where stopping a crime in progress is far more effective than simply recording it.

Yes, scOS is perfect for monitoring large rural properties. Our MotionX technology is highly accurate over long distances and can distinguish between human activity and wildlife or livestock. You can use scOS Director to check on specific areas of your land, asking questions like, 'Is there anyone near the back gate?' or 'Has there been any vehicle activity on the driveway today?' This gives you total visibility over your entire property, no matter how large or remote it may be.
