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.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Southwater
Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your home being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to understand what is happening in real-time. Unlike standard systems that trigger false alarms for every passing cat or swaying branch in the Sussex wind, MotionX ignores environmental noise and focuses solely on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their face. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it intervenes. It can automatically trigger external lights and voice warnings to deter an intruder before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.
Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with almost any existing wired IP camera system, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. We transform your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network by connecting them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes data locally for speed and privacy before escalating to our UK-based cloud for advanced AI analysis. This means you don't need to rip out your existing investment to benefit from world-class AI protection; we simply give your current cameras the 'brain' they’ve been missing.
scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal touches your property. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you're out at the Country Park. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces immediately, even in the dark. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If a threat persists, the system triggers escalating responses, from instant illumination to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By making your home look occupied and then proving it is 'watching' and 'reacting' to the intruder's specific movements, we stop crime before it starts.
Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your data is processed through our UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid approach where the Intelligence Hub in your home handles initial processing locally, and only necessary events are escalated to our secure UK cloud. Your footage and data are yours alone; we never sell user data to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible via our secure app from anywhere in the world, ensuring your Southwater home remains private and protected.
A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the front door—often when it's already too late. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including side gates and garages. More importantly, doorbells don't stop crime; they just record it. scOS proactively intervenes using AI-driven lights and voice deterrents. It can even check vehicle registrations against the DVLA database to spot cloned plates on your driveway. For a home in Southwater, scOS offers a comprehensive shield that a single doorbell camera simply cannot match.
Southwater is a very safe community, but that can sometimes lead to a false sense of security. Professional burglars often target areas with low crime rates because they expect security to be lower. scOS ensures your home is never the 'weak link' on the street. By providing a visible and audible deterrent, you are sending a clear message that your property is protected by the latest AI technology, which is often enough to make a criminal choose a different target altogether.
Many homes in Southwater are part of newer developments with modern layouts. scOS is perfect for these properties. Our professional UK installers can discreetly set up a wired system that integrates perfectly with your home's aesthetics. Because we use wired connections, you don't have to worry about the thick walls of modern builds interfering with Wi-Fi signals, ensuring your security is always 100% reliable.
Southwater is a very pet-friendly area, and many residents worry that their dogs or cats will trigger their security system. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically designed to ignore animals. It focuses on human shapes and behaviours, meaning your pets can roam the garden freely without ever triggering a false alarm. You only get alerted when there is 'important activity' that actually requires your attention.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
