Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which moves beyond simple motion detection that triggers for every spider or gust of wind. MotionX understands 'important activity,' recognising people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their figure. While standard systems wait for you to check an app, scOS intervenes automatically. It detects property boundaries without you needing to draw lines, and if a threat is detected, it uses escalating responses—from instant lighting to AI-driven voice warnings from external speakers—to stop the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform 'dumb' cameras into an 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, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes data locally before escalating to the cloud, giving your old cameras the power of MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive AI responses without the need for a total hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence that begins before a criminal even touches your property. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal lighting and activity patterns to make the house appear occupied when you're away, which is the most effective way to stop a burglary from being planned. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour and covered faces with zero false alarms. Finally, if an intruder persists, scOS initiates an Active Intervention. This isn't just a siren; it’s a smart response where external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings and lights illuminate the area, letting the intruder know they have been specifically identified.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Unlike many competitors who ship data to overseas servers, all our data centres are located right here in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your footage remains your property—we never sell or share your data. The system uses a hybrid approach: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes video locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for advanced AI analysis and 24/7 recording storage. You have total control over your data through the scOS app, where you can access up to two weeks of recorded history from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they’ve already pressed it or triggered a laggy notification. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front porch, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from back gardens to side alleys. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens. A doorbell won't simulate your presence inside the house or deliver an escalating voice warning to a trespasser in your garden. scOS provides professional-grade, wired reliability that can't be jammed like wireless doorbells, ensuring your Rural Swindon home is protected 24/7.

With crime rates in Rural Swindon being higher than the national average, you need a system that doesn't just watch, but acts. scOS is designed for high-risk environments. Our escalating response system means that as soon as a threat is detected, the system takes action—turning on lights and issuing voice warnings. This immediate intervention is crucial in rural areas where police response times can be longer. By stopping the intruder at the boundary, scOS prevents the crime from ever occurring, rather than just giving you a video of it happening.

Rural properties are often targeted by criminals using vehicles to scout locations or commit thefts. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically scans the plates of any vehicle entering your property. It checks these against the national database to flag cloned plates or vehicles associated with crime. This is a powerful tool for rural homeowners, as it allows the system to alert you to a suspicious vehicle before anyone even gets out of the car, providing an essential early warning.

Wiltshire Police are more likely to respond quickly to 'verified' alarms. Because scOS uses MotionX technology to eliminate false alarms, any alert you receive is a confirmed human presence. Our system provides high-definition, 24/7 recording stored in our secure UK cloud, giving you the best possible evidence to share with the police. You can even use the scOS Director to quickly find and export specific incidents, making it easy to provide the authorities with the information they need to take action.
