Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune for later review, but scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime before it happens. While standard systems rely on 'motion masks' that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, our proprietary MotionX technology focuses exclusively on 'important activity,' recognising human presence regardless of how a person moves or attempts to conceal themselves. This means zero false alarms and no more annoying notifications for cobwebs or rain. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. By using an Intelligence Hub that processes data locally before escalating to the UK cloud, it can trigger immediate deterrents like external voice warnings and lighting. It transforms your security from a simple camera into a digital security guard that understands the difference between a delivery driver and a genuine threat.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have professional-grade wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them to provide the full suite of scOS AI features. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure compatibility. By layering our AI over your existing cameras, you gain advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and presence simulation without the need for a complete hardware overhaul. This makes upgrading to a truly intelligent home security system both cost-effective and efficient, turning 'dumb' cameras into a proactive defence network.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your home safe. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your normal internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home appear occupied to any onlookers. If a prowler does approach, our MotionX technology instantly identifies them as a person, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. This triggers the second layer: Active Intervention. Instant illumination floods the area, and external IoT speakers deliver clear AI voice warnings to let the intruder know they have been detected. Finally, if the threat persists, the system uses an Escalating Response, increasing the intensity of the warnings. Unlike simple alarms, scOS engages with the intruder, removing the element of surprise and forcing them to retreat.

At scOS, we take your privacy as seriously as your security. Unlike many competitors who outsource data processing to international servers, we are a 100% UK-based company. All your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. The core intelligence of the system lives in your local Intelligence Hub, which processes activity on-site. Only when a potential threat is identified is the data escalated to our secure UK cloud for further analysis and to allow you to access recordings from anywhere in the world. Your data remains yours; we never sell your information or allow unauthorised access. You have complete control over your footage, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks, ensuring you have the evidence you need while maintaining total privacy.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door, but it rarely stops a determined criminal from entering your property. scOS provides whole-property intelligence that monitors your entire boundary, not just the front step. While a doorbell might alert you to a package delivery, scOS uses MotionX to detect someone lurking in your garden or tampering with a side gate. More importantly, scOS is proactive. A doorbell is reactive—you get a notification while the crime is happening. scOS intervenes automatically with lights and voice deterrents to stop the crime before it escalates. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and presence simulation, scOS offers a comprehensive security ecosystem that a single door-mounted camera simply cannot match.

Somerby is at the heart of Leicestershire's equestrian community, and we know that high-value tack, trailers, and equipment are often targets for rural thieves. scOS is perfectly suited for protecting stables and outbuildings. Our MotionX technology can monitor large areas and distinguish between a horse moving in a paddock and a person approaching a tack room. With professional wired installation, we can ensure that even remote buildings on your property are connected to the Intelligence Hub. If an intruder is detected near your equipment, the system can trigger immediate voice warnings and lights, providing a powerful deterrent that protects your livelihood and your animals.

Properties in Somerby often have large driveways and multiple access points. scOS uses DVLA Vehicle Recognition to monitor every vehicle that enters your property. This is particularly useful for identifying suspicious vans or cars that may be scouting the area. The system logs the registration and can alert you if an unrecognised vehicle arrives. This provides an extra layer of security for rural homes, ensuring you have a record of everyone who visits and a proactive system that can challenge unauthorised vehicles before they even park. It's a vital tool for maintaining the security of your Leicestershire estate.

In rural areas like Somerby, criminals often rely on the cover of darkness. scOS features an automatic light response that is triggered the moment MotionX identifies a person on your property. This isn't just a simple floodlight; it's a targeted response that lets the intruder know they have been spotted. Combined with our external IoT speakers that deliver AI voice warnings, it creates a high-pressure environment for any prowler. They lose the advantage of stealth and are forced to confront the fact that the property is actively defended. This proactive intervention is far more effective than a passive alarm, as it stops the intruder before they can cause any damage.
