Traditional CCTV is a passive recording tool that only provides evidence after a crime has been committed. scOS, however, is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' in real-time. Unlike standard systems that trigger false alarms for every fox or swaying reed in Salhouse, MotionX is trained to ignore animals, wind, and cobwebs, focusing only on genuine threats. It doesn't require you to set up complex motion zones; the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it intervenes. Using external IoT speakers and automatic light responses, it delivers escalating warnings to deter intruders before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between having a video of a break-in and preventing the break-in from ever happening.

Yes, scOS is designed to be fully brand-agnostic and works with the majority of professional wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have a camera system installed at your Salhouse property, our engineers can usually integrate it with our Intelligence Hub during the installation process. This 'brains-over-brawn' approach transforms your existing hardware into a sophisticated AI network capable of person recognition and proactive deterrents. During our 4-6 hour professional installation, we will assess your current setup to ensure it meets the technical requirements for our MotionX AI. This allows you to upgrade to the latest in home intelligence without the cost and disruption of replacing all your existing cameras.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to deterrence that is far more effective than a simple alarm. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns while you're out. The second layer is our MotionX AI, which detects intruders at the boundary of your property, even if they are wearing masks or trying to hide their silhouette. Once a person is detected, the system triggers the third layer: Active Intervention. This includes instant illumination and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. These warnings are designed to let the intruder know they have been spotted by an intelligent system, stripping away their anonymity and forcing them to abandon their attempt. This proactive sequence is designed to stop a crime in the 'scouting' phase.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR regulations. We use a hybrid processing model where our Intelligence Hub performs most of the heavy lifting locally on your property, only escalating to the cloud when necessary. This ensures your system remains fast and functional even if your internet drops. Most importantly, your data belongs to you; we never sell your footage or personal information to third parties. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, allowing you to review any activity through our secure app from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole that only monitors your front door and often suffers from lag or missed events due to Wi-Fi reliance. scOS is a professional-grade, whole-property intelligence system. It uses wired connections to ensure reliability and covers your entire boundary, not just the entrance. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS uses MotionX AI to detect the thief as they enter your land and uses voice deterrents to stop them before they reach the porch. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and scOS Director, our system provides a level of situational awareness and proactive protection that a simple doorbell camera cannot match. For a village like Salhouse, scOS offers the comprehensive security needed for larger properties and outbuildings.

Salhouse is a beautiful Broadland village, but its popularity with visitors and its rural location can make it a target for opportunistic theft, particularly of garden equipment or from outbuildings. Norfolk Constabulary often notes that rural properties can be vulnerable because neighbours are further apart. scOS bridges this gap by acting as a 24/7 digital guard. Our MotionX AI is specifically designed to monitor large areas and boundaries, alerting you to unusual activity long before a crime occurs. Even with low local crime rates, the goal of scOS is to ensure your home never becomes a statistic by maintaining a proactive, visible deterrent that makes criminals move on to easier targets.

Yes, scOS is ideal for properties with multiple buildings. Our MotionX AI can be configured to monitor your entire property, including detached garages, sheds, and workshops. Because the system auto-detects boundaries, it can distinguish between someone walking on the public footpath and someone entering the area around your outbuildings. If an intruder approaches a shed at 3 AM, scOS can immediately trigger lights and a voice warning specifically for that zone. This is particularly valuable in Salhouse, where residents often store expensive boating or gardening equipment in external structures that are out of direct sight from the main house.

scOS Director is our revolutionary conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security as if you were talking to a person. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask questions like, 'What time did the delivery van arrive?' or 'Has anyone been near the back gate today?' The AI understands natural language and can provide instant answers based on the activity it has recorded. It can even distinguish between family members and strangers based on their behaviour patterns. This makes managing your security in Salhouse incredibly simple, giving you high-level intelligence without the need to be a technical expert.
