Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated; scOS is a proactive guardian that intervenes before a crime occurs. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only, such as a person approaching your home. It requires no manual 'tripwires' or 'zones' because it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it reacts with escalating light and voice deterrents to drive intruders away.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security powerhouse. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, you gain all the benefits of MotionX detection and proactive deterrents without needing to replace your entire infrastructure.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals in their tracks. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking natural human activity patterns inside, acting as a powerful passive deterrent while you're away. Second, our MotionX AI constantly monitors for suspicious behaviour, recognising people even if they try to hide their face or change their silhouette. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers active intervention: external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings while smart lighting illuminates the intruder, creating an escalating response that makes your home an impossible target.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. All data processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before escalating to our secure UK-based cloud servers for advanced analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, and unlike many 'smart' home brands, we never sell your data to third parties. You retain full control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure app from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property. Doorbells often suffer from 'notification fatigue' due to false alarms and can be easily bypassed by entering through a side gate or window. scOS provides 360-degree protection, using MotionX to detect intruders anywhere on your land and proactively deterring them before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between seeing a crime happen and preventing it from occurring in the first place.

In areas with higher crime rates like South Elmsall, a passive camera isn't enough. scOS is designed to be a visible and audible deterrent. Our escalating response system means that if an intruder ignores the initial lights, the system will use IoT speakers to deliver a direct voice warning. This proactive approach is proven to stop crimes in progress, making your home a much less attractive target than those with standard CCTV.

Yes, scOS features Covered Face Detection. In South Elmsall, where intruders may use hoodies or masks to avoid identification, our AI recognises this as suspicious behaviour. Instead of just recording a masked figure, the system immediately escalates its deterrent response, alerting you and attempting to drive the individual away before they can attempt a break-in.

scOS is built on a 'wired over wireless' philosophy. Unlike many DIY systems that rely on WiFi and can be easily disabled with cheap 'jamming' devices, our professional installation uses hardwired connections. This ensures your security remains online and functional even if a criminal attempts to interfere with your home network.
