Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it's happening so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime before it occurs. Most systems rely on 'motion masks' which trigger for every passing fox or swaying branch in Shoreham, but our MotionX technology focuses only on 'important activity.' It identifies people and vehicles with 100% accuracy, even if they try to hide their silhouette. Most importantly, scOS intervenes. When a threat is detected, it uses escalating responses—such as instant lighting and voice warnings from IoT speakers—to deter criminals. It’s like having a digital security guard for your home that actually acts to prevent break-ins.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with almost any existing wired IP camera system, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK-based installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we connect them to our Intelligence Hub, which instantly upgrades your 'dumb' cameras with our full suite of AI features. This allows you to benefit from world-class AI protection and MotionX detection without the need to replace your entire existing infrastructure, making it a cost-effective way to secure your Shoreham property.

scOS uses a three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, our primary passive deterrent. It learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away—turning lights on and off naturally to make the house appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces immediately. Finally, the system uses active intervention. If a threat is detected within your property boundaries, scOS triggers automatic light responses and delivers authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to unnerve intruders and force them to flee before they even reach your door.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is 100% UK-based, and all your video data and AI processing are handled through secure UK-based cloud data centres and your local Intelligence Hub. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data remains entirely yours; we never sell or share your information with 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. By keeping everything within the UK, we ensure the highest standards of data protection and provide you with peace of mind that your Shoreham home's privacy is never compromised.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your front door, often after they've already arrived. In contrast, scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including driveways, side gates, and gardens. Our system is designed to stop crime before it happens, using AI to detect threats at the edge of your property and deterring them with active responses. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS prevents the thief from stepping onto your property in the first place. It is a comprehensive security solution rather than just a digital peephole.

Shoreham's unique mix of residential streets, the busy port, and the airport means there is a high volume of transient traffic. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically logs and checks the registration of every vehicle that enters your property. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is detected, the system alerts you immediately. This is particularly useful for residents near the A27 or the High Street, where opportunistic thieves may use the high traffic volume to scout for targets. scOS ensures you know exactly who is outside your home.

Coastal and riverside environments like Shoreham-by-Sea can be tough on security systems due to moisture and wind. scOS uses professional-grade, wired hardware that is far more robust than standard wireless cameras. Our MotionX AI is also specifically designed to ignore the movement of water, boats on the Adur, or wind-blown debris, which often trigger false alarms on standard systems. This means you get reliable, accurate protection that can withstand the local environment without bothering you with constant, meaningless notifications.

Sussex Police, like all forces, must prioritise calls. Because scOS uses MotionX to eliminate false alarms, any alert you receive is a verified 'important activity.' When you contact the police, you can provide specific, AI-verified details: 'A person with a covered face is currently on my property and has ignored voice warnings.' This level of certainty is far more likely to garner a rapid response than a standard alarm trigger. Additionally, our 24/7 recording provides high-quality evidence that is easily shared with officers to assist in their investigations.
