Every time you leave home, there's that nagging worry. Did I lock up properly? Is someone watching the house? You shouldn't have to feel anxious about your own home.
Something happened in the garden last night. Now you're scrubbing through 8 hours of footage trying to find 30 seconds of activity. Life's too short for this.
Your phone buzzes constantly. A cat. Cobwebs. Headlights. After a while you stop checking, which defeats the entire point of having cameras.
Not motion. Not shadows. scOS detects the kind of activity a trained security guard would notice. When your phone buzzes, it matters.
Family, friends, the builder—scOS learns who belongs. No repetitive alerts for familiar faces. Only strangers trigger attention.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Southend-on-Sea
Traditional CCTV is passive—it records video, but a burglar has already stolen your possessions by the time you watch it back. scOS uses AI monitoring powered by MotionX to actively detect suspicious behaviour as it happens. When a threat is detected, scOS responds automatically within seconds, not minutes or hours. Instead of just watching a crime unfold, scOS stops it in progress. Your existing CCTV records what happened; scOS prevents it from happening at all.
Yes. scOS works with most wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Axis, and others. During professional installation, our team will integrate your existing cameras into the scOS system, so you don't need to replace them. If you prefer to self-setup, we provide straightforward integration guides for tech-confident users. Either way, your existing investment works seamlessly with scOS's AI intelligence layer.
scOS uses three powerful layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation makes it look like someone's home—lights turn on, TVs flicker—creating doubt in a criminal's mind. Second, MotionX AI detects any suspicious movement and immediately activates a loud siren and flashing lights, shocking intruders into flight. Third, our active intervention system alerts local authorities and coordinates emergency response, ensuring police can intervene while the threat is still present. Criminals want easy targets; scOS makes your home the hardest target on the street.
All your data is stored in UK data centres and processed in compliance with GDPR and UK data protection laws. Your privacy is paramount—we don't sell your data, share it with third parties, or use it for any purpose other than protecting your home. The scOS Intelligence Hub processes most analysis locally on your property, minimizing data transmitted to the cloud. You have full control over your footage and can delete it anytime.
A video doorbell shows you who's at your door—but only when someone's already there. By then, a burglar has already scoped your property and decided to break in. scOS monitors your entire property 24/7, detecting threats before they reach your door. A doorbell reacts after the fact; scOS acts before a crime happens. Plus, while doorbells only cover your entrance, scOS protects your rear garden, windows, and perimeter—the entry points burglars actually use.
scOS requires an active internet connection for its AI features to work. During an internet outage, your local cameras will continue recording to the Intelligence Hub, but the AI monitoring, MotionX detection, and automatic response features won't function. We recommend a stable, reliable broadband connection (at least 5 Mbps). Once your internet is restored, AI protection resumes automatically. For properties in areas with unreliable connectivity, we can discuss hybrid solutions during installation.
No. If your existing cameras are wired IP cameras with stable connections, scOS can integrate them directly. We assess your current setup during a consultation and integrate compatible cameras. You only need to upgrade or add cameras if your current system has blind spots or poor coverage. Our team will recommend the most cost-effective approach for your property.
scOS detects suspicious behaviour and responds within seconds. MotionX AI analyzes video in real-time, recognizing intrusion patterns instantly. Once a threat is confirmed, the system activates alarms, flashing lights, and alerts to authorities—all within the critical window when a burglar is most vulnerable to being caught. This speed is the difference between stopping a crime and investigating one.
Yes. You can monitor your property, review alerts, and control scOS features via the mobile app from anywhere in the world. Receive instant notifications when threats are detected, watch live footage, and check historical recordings. The app gives you complete visibility of your home's security status anytime, anywhere.
No. Professional installation is available and recommended for optimal setup, but self-setup is an option if you're tech-confident. Our team will handle camera integration, Intelligence Hub placement, and network optimization during professional installation. For self-setup, we provide detailed guides and support. Either way, you'll have a fully functional scOS system protecting your property.
scOS pricing is simple: £18.90 per camera per month (roughly 63p per day per camera). There are no hidden fees, no property size calculations, and no minimum contracts. You pay only for the cameras you protect. An Intelligence Hub is included and handles all the AI processing for your entire system. Start with one camera and expand whenever you're ready.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
