Standard CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune for later review, whereas scOS is a proactive guardian. While traditional systems rely on 'motion masks' that often fail or trigger false alarms from spiders and wind, our MotionX technology focuses on 'important activity,' recognising people and vehicles with zero false alarms. Instead of just watching a crime happen, scOS intervenes the moment a threat is detected, using AI-driven light and voice responses to stop intruders before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security powerhouse. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub to unlock proactive AI features without needing a full hardware overhaul.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First, our Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside, discouraging opportunistic burglars. Second, our MotionX technology accurately identifies suspicious behaviour, even if an intruder is masked or crawling. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they are being watched by AI.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. All data processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before escalating to our secure UK data centres for AI analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and data belong solely to you and are never sold to third parties. You have total control over your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you via our secure app.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a package. scOS provides 360-degree property intelligence, detecting threats at your boundary line before they ever reach the house. While doorbells are often wireless and easily jammed, scOS uses reliable wired connections and AI that understands the difference between a delivery driver and a prowler, stopping crime in its tracks rather than just filming it.

Rural South Derbyshire properties often include detached garages, workshops, or stables that are prime targets for theft. scOS is designed to monitor these outbuildings as part of your primary home network. Our AI detects suspicious activity around these structures and can trigger external voice deterrents to warn off intruders before they can break a lock, providing much better protection than a simple padlock or alarm.

In rural areas, wildlife like foxes or deer often trigger traditional motion-sensor lights and cameras, leading to 'notification fatigue.' scOS uses MotionX technology, which is trained to ignore animals and focus only on 'important activity'—specifically humans and vehicles. This means you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a badger, but you will be alerted the moment a person enters your yard.

Yes, scOS features Covered Face Detection. If someone approaches your property wearing a balaclava, hood, or mask to hide their identity, the AI recognises this as suspicious behaviour. It will immediately flag the event and can initiate an escalating response, such as turning on floodlights and issuing a voice warning, ensuring that even concealed intruders know they've been spotted.
