Traditional CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS transforms your security from passive recording to proactive protection. At the heart of our system is MotionX, a revolutionary AI that focuses on 'important activity' rather than just movement. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX works out of the box. It ignores environmental noise and focuses exclusively on human and vehicle threats. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes. Using automatic property boundary detection, the system identifies when someone has crossed onto your land and can immediately trigger external lights and voice deterrents to warn them off before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between watching a burglary later on your phone and preventing it from happening in the first place.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing hardware. We can typically integrate with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which usually takes between 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, proactive network. This local hub processes the video feed using our proprietary AI before escalating critical data to our secure UK cloud. This hybrid approach ensures that you don't need to replace your entire infrastructure to benefit from world-class AI monitoring. However, we do prioritise wired connections over wireless ones, as wired systems are far more reliable and cannot be defeated by the signal jamming techniques often used by modern criminals to bypass WiFi-based cameras.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage of an attempted intrusion. The first layer is Presence Simulation. This is a passive deterrent that makes your home appear occupied even when you are away by simulating natural human activity patterns inside the house. If a criminal is scouting the area, they are likely to move on to a property that looks empty. The second layer is our MotionX detection. Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries without needing user-defined zones. It recognises people regardless of whether they are walking, crawling, or attempting to cover their faces with hoods or masks. Finally, the third layer is Active Intervention. When the AI confirms a threat, it triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination from external lights and progresses to clear voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These warnings inform the intruder that they have been detected and are being monitored, which is usually enough to cause an immediate retreat.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy by design' approach. We are a 100% UK-based company, which means all our support staff, developers, and data centres are located right here in the UK. Your data is fully GDPR compliant and, most importantly, it remains yours. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the heavy lifting locally on your property, only escalating video to our secure UK cloud when an event requires AI verification or remote access. We never sell your data to third parties or use it for advertising. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our app. Because we process so much locally, your private moments stay private, while our cloud infrastructure ensures that even if a thief were to steal the local hub, your evidence is already safely backed up in our encrypted UK data centres.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you who is at your door once they have already arrived. In many cases, by the time a doorbell notifies your phone, a criminal has already checked your handles or looked through your windows. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system designed to stop crime before it reaches your front door. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire boundary. Our AI detects suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your driveway or garden, triggering deterrents long before they reach the house. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and easily jammed or removed. scOS uses a professionally installed, wired network that is far more robust. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and presence simulation, scOS provides a comprehensive 'digital guard' for your entire home, rather than just a digital peephole for your front door. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a complete security ecosystem.

Sproughton’s location near Ipswich and the A14 makes it a prime area for opportunistic property crime. scOS proactively defends your home by detecting boundary breaches and using automated voice deterrents to warn off intruders before they reach your windows. This immediate intervention is key to preventing crime in areas with high traffic and easy escape routes.

Yes, scOS is a 100% UK-based company. All our support, data centres, and installation teams are located in the UK. This ensures that you receive high-quality, local service and that your data is handled in accordance with UK privacy laws, providing peace of mind for Sproughton residents.

Our professional UK installation team can typically set up a complete scOS system in just 4 to 6 hours. We handle everything from mounting the cameras to configuring the Intelligence Hub, ensuring your home is protected by the end of the day. We also provide a full walkthrough of the system so you know exactly how to use it.
