Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses our proprietary MotionX technology to understand what it is seeing in real-time. Unlike standard systems that trigger alerts for every swaying branch or passing cat, MotionX ignores 'noise' and focuses exclusively on important activity. It recognises people regardless of their movement or if they are trying to hide their figure. Because it understands the difference between a delivery driver and a loiterer, it can trigger automatic interventions—like lights and voice warnings—to stop a crime before it happens, all with zero false alarms.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with the vast majority of professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub, instantly transforming your 'dumb' cameras into an AI-powered security network. This allows you to upgrade your home intelligence without the cost of replacing every camera, though we always recommend wired connections over wireless to ensure the system cannot be jammed by sophisticated intruders.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces immediately as they approach your property boundaries. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, the system triggers escalating responses. This starts with instant illumination from external lights and progresses to clear, AI-driven voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By detecting the threat at the boundary and responding automatically, scOS convinces the intruder that the home is occupied and monitored, forcing them to move on.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your data is stored in secure UK data centres and we are fully GDPR compliant. The system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles initial detection locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when advanced AI analysis or remote access is required. Your footage and data belong to you; we never sell user data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible via our secure app from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front path, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, including side gates and rear gardens. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime, not just record it. While a doorbell might send a notification to your phone while you're busy, scOS automatically intervenes with lights and voice deterrents the moment a threat is identified. It is the difference between a doorbell and a digital security guard.

For Staplehurst residents who commute to London, leaving the home empty for long periods is a common concern. scOS features advanced Presence Simulation that goes far beyond simple light timers. Our AI learns your home's actual activity patterns—when you use different rooms, when lights go on and off—and replicates these patterns realistically while you're away. This makes your home appear occupied to anyone watching, providing a powerful passive deterrent. You can also use the scOS Director AI to check in on your home from the train, getting a quick summary of any activity so you can commute with total peace of mind.

Staplehurst's rural setting often means properties have larger gardens and more complex boundaries. scOS uses Automatic Property Boundary Detection to map your land without the need for manual 'zones'. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore the 'noise' of a rural environment, such as swaying trees or local wildlife, and focus only on human activity. This means you won't be bothered by false alarms, but you can be certain that if someone does step onto your property, the system will detect them and initiate a proactive response, such as turning on lights or delivering a voice warning.

Yes, scOS is highly effective at detecting suspicious concealment. If someone approaches your home in Staplehurst wearing a mask, balaclava, or hood to hide their face, our AI will immediately flag this as high-priority activity. Because scOS uses behaviour-based person recognition, it doesn't need to see a face to know that someone is acting suspiciously. The system can then automatically trigger a voice deterrent, such as 'You are being monitored,' which is often enough to make a masked intruder realise they have been spotted and flee the scene before they can cause any damage.
