Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is proactive, using our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' rather than just movement. While standard systems trigger false alarms for spiders or wind, MotionX ignores the noise and focuses on genuine threats, such as someone loitering near your property. Because scOS understands your property boundaries automatically, it can intervene the moment a line is crossed, rather than just filming the aftermath.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them into an AI-powered security network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it meets the technical requirements for scOS integration. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI intelligence without the cost of replacing every camera on your Sleaford property.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour regardless of whether an intruder is wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination from external lights and authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they have been spotted.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information stay yours. We never sell your data, and you maintain total control over who can access your system through our secure app.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it. scOS monitors your entire property boundary, detecting threats before they reach your entrance. While a doorbell is a reactive tool for deliveries, scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. It provides 24/7 recording and sophisticated AI analysis that a battery-powered doorbell simply cannot match.

Sleaford is a popular town for commuters working in Lincoln or Grantham. When your house is empty during the day, scOS uses Presence Simulation to make it appear as though someone is still home. By intelligently managing internal lighting and simulating human activity patterns, the system discourages burglars who are scouting for empty properties during working hours. It’s the ultimate 'passive' deterrent for the modern commuter.

While Sleaford's crime rate is lower than the national average, property crime still occurs, often when residents become complacent. scOS acts as a 24/7 digital sentry that never gets tired or distracted. By installing a system that proactively deters intruders, you ensure your home remains a 'hard target,' encouraging opportunistic criminals to move on to easier, less protected properties.

Yes. Our scOS Director allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Whether you're at the Hub or away on holiday, you can ask, 'Has anyone been in the garden today?' or 'What time did the kids get home?' The AI will review the activity patterns and give you a clear, conversational answer, saving you from having to manually check hours of footage.
