Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, whereas scOS is a proactive guardian. While standard systems rely on "motion masks" that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify "important activity" only, such as a person approaching your boundary. It requires no manual setup of tripwires; the system automatically understands your property lines and ignores false alarms like spiders or wind. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes with automated 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 a truly intelligent security network. We are compatible with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it meets the technical requirements for our Intelligence Hub. By integrating your existing cameras, you can upgrade to world-class AI protection without the cost of a full hardware overhaul.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your internal activity patterns and replicate them when you're away, making your home appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour—even if the person is masked or crawling—without the need for user-defined zones. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system triggers an Active Intervention: instant illumination and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach is designed to convince a criminal that your home is both occupied and high-risk, forcing them to move on.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Unlike many competitors who ship data to overseas servers, your footage and data are processed locally on your Intelligence Hub before being securely escalated to our UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours and is never sold or accessed by third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your door; scOS is a proactive intelligence system that protects your entire property. Doorbells often suffer from "notification fatigue" due to false alarms and only cover a narrow field of vision. scOS uses MotionX to monitor your entire boundary, detecting threats long before they reach the threshold. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the criminal from entering your driveway in the first place through automated deterrents and intelligent person recognition.

Sawtry's location right on the A1(M) makes it a prime target for "commuter crime," where burglars use the motorway for fast access and escape. scOS is designed for this specific threat, using DVLA Vehicle Recognition to identify unrecognised cars and MotionX to spot intruders the moment they step onto your property. By deterring them at the boundary, scOS ensures your home isn't an easy target for those passing through.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security as if you were talking to a guard. You can ask natural questions like, "Was there any activity near the garage last night?" or "Did any unrecognised cars park on the drive today?" It saves you from scrolling through hours of footage, giving you instant answers about your property's safety.

Unlike many DIY systems that rely on Wi-Fi, scOS uses wired connections for its cameras. This is crucial because Wi-Fi jammers are increasingly used by professional criminals to disable smart home security. By using a wired infrastructure, scOS remains online and functional even if a jammer is present, ensuring your Sawtry home is protected by a system that can't be easily bypassed.
