Traditional CCTV is passive—it only records what happens, which doesn't stop criminals from acting. scOS uses advanced AI technology called MotionX to actively detect suspicious behaviour in real-time. When a potential crime is detected, scOS responds immediately with multiple deterrence layers: activating presence simulation (lights, sounds), issuing loud warnings, and alerting emergency response teams. Unlike passive recording, scOS actually prevents crime from happening.

Yes, scOS works with most wired IP cameras already installed in your property. If your cameras are modern, wired security cameras (not older analogue systems), they can be integrated with the scOS Intelligence Hub. Our professional installation team can assess your current setup and connect everything seamlessly. If you prefer a complete system, we also offer new camera bundles optimised for scOS.

scOS uses three powerful layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation creates the illusion someone is home—lights turn on strategically, devices activate, and activity appears constant. Second, MotionX detects suspicious movement patterns and triggers loud audio warnings that startle intruders and alert neighbours. Third, Active Intervention immediately notifies local authorities and response teams who can intervene within seconds. Criminals see an impossible target: someone's always home, they get caught on AI detection, and police arrive faster than they can escape.

Your video footage and security data are stored exclusively in UK data centres, with no overseas transfers. scOS is fully GDPR compliant and designed with privacy-first principles. Only authorised personnel and emergency responders can access your data during an actual incident. You maintain complete control—you can review footage anytime, delete clips, and manage permissions. No data is sold or used for advertising.

A video doorbell shows you who's at the door, but scOS stops crime everywhere on your property. Doorbells are reactive—you see someone and then decide what to do. scOS is proactive—it detects threats in real-time, triggers deterrents automatically, and alerts response teams before you even know there's a problem. Doorbells protect your front entrance; scOS protects your entire home, from gardens to driveways to windows. You get AI-powered security that never sleeps.

scOS uses a small Intelligence Hub device installed at your property—typically in a cupboard or utility room—that powers all AI features. You can choose professional installation, where our team handles everything and ensures optimal camera positioning and network setup, or self-setup if you're tech-confident. Professional installation typically takes 2-4 hours and includes system testing and staff training. Either way, you're protected within a day.

scOS detects suspicious behaviour and responds in seconds. Once MotionX identifies a potential crime, immediate actions trigger automatically—presence simulation activates, audio deterrents sound, and authorities are alerted. This speed is crucial: most break-ins happen in under 5 minutes. By responding in seconds, scOS can stop criminals before they even attempt entry, rather than waiting for you to notice or for police to arrive.

During an internet outage, your cameras continue recording locally on the Intelligence Hub, so you'll have footage of any incidents. However, the AI monitoring and emergency response features require internet connectivity. Once your connection is restored, scOS immediately resumes full protection. We recommend ensuring a reliable internet connection—most modern broadband is highly stable, but if you're concerned about your connectivity, discuss backup options with our installation team.

scOS pricing is simple and transparent: just 63p per day per camera. There are no hidden charges, no contracts, and no surprise bills. You pay only for the cameras you protect, so scaling up is affordable. Professional installation is available as an optional add-on. For most properties, the cost is far less than a single break-in, making it one of the best investments you can make in your home's security.

Yes, scOS integrates with smart home ecosystems. The Intelligence Hub can work alongside existing smart devices to enhance your security. For example, you can automate lights to turn on when motion is detected, or lock doors when an alert is triggered. Our integration supports most popular platforms—discuss compatibility during consultation.

scOS is designed to work perfectly when you're away. In fact, that's when you need it most. Your property appears occupied thanks to presence simulation—lights and devices activate on intelligent patterns so it never looks empty. You can monitor live alerts on your phone, and scOS responds automatically to any threat without waiting for you. Holiday mode ensures your home is protected 24/7, whether you're at work or on the other side of the world.
