Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device; it only helps you see what you've already lost. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. It features MotionX, our proprietary AI that focuses on 'important activity' rather than simple motion. This means it ignores wind, rain, and shadows, providing zero false alarms. Unlike other systems, it doesn't need 'tripwires' or 'zones'; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When it detects a threat, it doesn't just record—it intervenes with automatic lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder before they can cause damage.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation—which takes 4 to 6 hours—we connect your existing cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This instantly upgrades your 'dumb' cameras with our advanced MotionX AI, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrent features. It’s a cost-effective way to get world-class AI security without needing to replace your entire existing camera setup.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation learns your daily habits and mimics your internal lighting patterns when you're out, making your home look occupied. Second, MotionX AI monitors your boundaries, identifying suspicious human behaviour even if the person is trying to hide. Finally, Active Intervention uses external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and triggers instant lighting when a threat is detected. This proactive approach is designed to convince an intruder that the home is occupied and they have been spotted, causing them to leave immediately.

Your data security is our top priority. scOS is 100% UK-based, with all data centres and support located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data. The system uses a 'Local + Cloud' model: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes your data locally for maximum privacy and speed, only using our secure UK cloud for remote access and advanced analysis. You have total control over your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

Video doorbells are reactive and easily bypassed; they only tell you someone is at your door once they are already there. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system that stops crime before it reaches your door. It monitors your entire boundary and uses escalating deterrents to prevent intruders from even stepping onto your driveway. Furthermore, scOS uses secure wired connections, which are immune to the 'WiFi jamming' devices frequently used by criminals to disable wireless doorbells, providing much more robust protection for high-risk areas.

South Mimms' location near the M25 and A1(M) means there is a high volume of transient traffic and noise. Traditional motion sensors would be triggered constantly. scOS uses MotionX AI, which is specifically designed to filter out this 'noise.' It ignores passing cars, headlights, and environmental movement, focusing exclusively on 'important activity'—specifically human presence on your property. This ensures that you only receive alerts for genuine threats, providing reliable security even in one of the busiest transit hubs in the country.

Given the high rate of vehicle-related crime near major motorway junctions, our DVLA Vehicle Recognition is a vital tool. scOS doesn't just see a car; it reads the plate and checks it against the DVLA database. It can identify if a vehicle is using cloned plates or if it has been seen scouting your property multiple times. This allows the system to flag suspicious vehicles to you immediately, providing an essential early warning system against organised property crime and vehicle theft.

In high-crime areas, intruders often try to hide their identity. scOS features 'Covered Face Detection,' which specifically flags individuals wearing hoods, balaclavas, or masks. Our MotionX AI is trained to recognise the human form regardless of how someone is dressed or if they are trying to change their silhouette. When the system detects someone attempting to conceal their identity on your property, it can trigger an immediate, high-level voice deterrent to let them know they have been identified by an intelligent system.
