Traditional CCTV is passive; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses AI to intervene. Our MotionX technology identifies 'important activity'—such as a person lurking or a vehicle entering your drive—while ignoring false alarms like animals or wind. Unlike standard systems, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries without needing manual 'zones.' When a threat is detected, scOS responds instantly with automated lighting and voice deterrents to drive the intruder away. In a high-crime area like St Osyth, this proactive approach is essential for preventing theft rather than just filming it.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, we connect your existing cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This 'brains' of the system upgrades your current hardware with advanced AI features like person recognition and covered face detection. Our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure optimal performance, allowing you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the need for a completely new camera installation in your St Osyth home.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your home's normal activity patterns when you're away, making it look occupied. Second is our MotionX AI, which accurately detects intruders even if they are disguised or moving stealthily. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers immediate lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive response makes it clear to the criminal that they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee before they can attempt a break-in.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most AI tasks locally on your property. Data is only escalated to our secure UK cloud when a potential threat is detected. You have full ownership of your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to 14 days. We never sell your data, ensuring your home life remains private.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often a reactive device—it tells you someone was there after they've already arrived. scOS provides comprehensive protection for your entire property, including gardens and driveways. While doorbells can be easily disabled with WiFi jammers, scOS uses secure wired connections. Most importantly, scOS is proactive; it uses AI to detect and deter intruders before they even reach your door. In an area with a high crime rate like St Osyth, you need the whole-property protection that only scOS can provide.

St Osyth has a significantly higher crime rate than the national average, making proactive security a necessity rather than a luxury. Standard alarms and passive CCTV are often not enough to deter determined criminals in high-crime areas. scOS is specifically designed to stop crime before it happens. By using AI to detect suspicious behaviour and intervening with immediate light and voice deterrents, scOS makes your home a 'hard target' that criminals will likely avoid in favour of less protected properties.

Yes, scOS is an ideal solution for holiday homes or properties that are frequently unoccupied. Our Presence Simulation feature is particularly effective here; it learns your normal activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the property appear lived-in. You can also monitor your home from anywhere in the world via our app and use scOS Director to ask for status updates. If an intruder is detected, the system's automated deterrents will engage immediately, providing 24/7 protection even when you're not there.

Coastal environments can be harsh on electronic equipment. That's why scOS uses high-quality, professional-grade wired hardware designed to withstand the elements. Our cameras and external IoT speakers are weather-rated to ensure reliable performance even in salty sea air and high winds. During our professional installation, we ensure all cabling is properly protected and the system is built to last, providing you with long-term, reliable security for your coastal home.
