Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your home being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system powered by MotionX technology. Unlike standard motion sensors that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch in the Hampshire wind, MotionX ignores the 'noise' and focuses exclusively on important activity. It requires no manual 'tripwires' or 'zones' because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries from the moment it's installed. When an actual threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it intervenes with automated voice deterrents and lighting responses, stopping crime before it reaches your front door. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence network. We work with almost all professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes just 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We connect your cameras to our local Intelligence Hub, which handles the heavy lifting of AI processing before escalating critical data to our secure UK cloud. This allows you to upgrade your security without the cost of replacing perfectly good hardware.

scOS uses a three-layered proactive approach to keep your home safe. The first layer is Presence Simulation; the system learns your normal activity patterns and mimics them when you're away—turning lights on and off in a natural sequence to make the house look occupied. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces regardless of how a person moves. Finally, if a persistent threat is detected, the system triggers an Active Intervention. This isn't just a siren; it's an escalating response where external IoT speakers deliver clear AI voice warnings and lights illuminate the area. This combination makes your property an unattractive and 'hard' target for any opportunist.

Privacy is at the core of scOS. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and only escalated to our secure UK-based data centres when necessary. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your personal information or footage with third parties. You have total control over your data through the scOS app, and our 24/7 recording ensures you have up to two weeks of footage stored securely and accessible only by you, from anywhere in the world. Your home’s intelligence stays within your control.

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 slow PIR sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back fence. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell might capture a package thief's face, scOS uses DVLA vehicle recognition to spot suspicious cars and voice deterrents to warn off intruders before they even touch your property. It’s a comprehensive security ecosystem, not just a digital peephole.

For the many military families in Shipton Bellinger, periods of absence are common. scOS’s Presence Simulation is a game-changer here. It doesn't just use simple timers; it learns how you actually use your home and mimics those patterns—turning on the kitchen light at dinner time or the bedroom light at night. This makes your home appear occupied even when you're stationed away, providing unparalleled peace of mind for families.

Yes, scOS is designed to be accessible from anywhere in the world. Whether you're on duty, on holiday, or just at work in Salisbury, you can check in on your property via the scOS app. You can view live feeds, review recorded events, and even use 'scOS Director' to ask natural questions about what's been happening at home. Our secure UK cloud ensures your connection is fast and reliable.

scOS is a professional-grade system that uses wired connections (Power over Ethernet) rather than Wi-Fi. This is crucial because Wi-Fi cameras can be easily disabled by inexpensive 'jammers' used by modern criminals. By using a wired backbone, scOS ensures that your security remains operational 24/7, providing a robust defence that wireless doorbells and DIY kits simply cannot match. This reliability is essential for protecting homes near the busy Salisbury Plain area.
