Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, often too late to do anything. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands 'important activity,' ignoring wind, animals, or cobwebs to focus on genuine threats. Unlike basic systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, the system doesn't just alert you—it intervenes. Through escalating responses including automated lighting and AI-driven voice warnings from external IoT speakers, scOS stops intruders before they reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. If you have existing wired IP cameras—such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti—our Intelligence Hub can usually transform them from 'dumb' recording devices into proactive AI sensors. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. We bypass the limited on-board software of your old cameras and plug them into the scOS ecosystem, giving them the power of MotionX detection, vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents without the need for a total hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal activity patterns and replicates them when you’re away, making your home look occupied to any scout. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious behaviour or concealed faces the moment someone crosses your boundary, regardless of how they try to hide. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat persists, the system triggers escalating responses. This starts with instant illumination and moves to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By combining the appearance of a busy home with immediate, intelligent reactions to intruders, scOS makes your property an impossible target.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global brands that ship data to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based cloud data centres for storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and data belong to you and you alone. We never sell user data or use it for third-party marketing. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible from anywhere in the world via our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they’ve already pressed it or stolen a package. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a narrow field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, detecting threats at the edge of your property long before they reach the front door. Furthermore, doorbells rarely offer proactive deterrents. scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings. While a doorbell is a digital peephole, scOS is a comprehensive security infrastructure that prevents the crime from happening in the first place.

Sharnbrook's safety is one of its best features, but criminals often 'tailgate' into affluent villages from the A6, looking for easy opportunities. scOS is designed to spot this behaviour. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition can identify unfamiliar or suspicious vehicles that enter your driveway, while MotionX ensures that any person approaching your home with ill intent is immediately challenged by our proactive deterrents. It’s about maintaining the village’s safety by being the most difficult house to target.

One of the biggest frustrations with traditional CCTV in rural areas like Bedfordshire is false alarms caused by spiders, cobwebs, or swaying trees. scOS MotionX technology is revolutionary because it ignores these distractions. It is trained to recognise the specific movement patterns of humans and vehicles. This means you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a notification just because a spider crawled across the lens. You only get alerted when it actually matters.

Yes, scOS is a wired system. We use high-quality cabling to connect your cameras to the Intelligence Hub. This is far superior to wireless systems because it cannot be 'jammed' by intruders using signal blockers, and it doesn't suffer from the connectivity issues common in older village houses with thick stone walls. Our professional installers handle all the wiring, ensuring a clean and robust setup that works 24/7.
