scOS is a proactive intelligence system, whereas traditional CCTV is a passive recording tool. Our system uses MotionX technology to understand what is happening on your property in real-time, ignoring false alarms like animals or wind and focusing only on 'important activity.' Unlike standard systems, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries without needing manual setup. Most importantly, it doesn't just record crime; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop intruders in their tracks, providing a level of protection that passive cameras simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. Our Intelligence Hub can integrate your existing camera feeds and upgrade them with our advanced AI and proactive response capabilities. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it's compatible with our system. This allows Steyning residents to benefit from state-of-the-art AI security while making use of their existing infrastructure.

scOS uses a three-layer approach to deter criminals. First, Presence Simulation uses AI to mimic your home's normal activity patterns, making it look occupied even when you're out. Second, MotionX detection identifies suspicious people instantly, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, Active Intervention triggers external IoT speakers to deliver authoritative voice warnings and instant lighting. This escalating response signals to any intruder that they are being monitored by an intelligent system, which is usually enough to make them flee before any crime is committed.

Data privacy is central to scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. Most processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub, and you have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. Our wired systems also ensure your data is secure from the Wi-Fi jamming techniques that are increasingly used by modern burglars.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only monitors your front door; scOS is a proactive system that protects your entire property. Doorbells often have a limited field of view and can be prone to false alarms. scOS monitors your whole perimeter, including driveways and gardens, using AI to detect threats before they reach your house. For Steyning residents, where property crime rates are higher than the national average, this comprehensive, proactive coverage is essential for true security.

Steyning's property crime rate of 44.03 is significantly higher than the national average of 32.34, making it a high-priority area for advanced security. The village's location near the South Downs can provide easy access and escape routes for criminals. scOS is specifically designed to counter this by providing 24/7 AI monitoring and active intervention. By making your home a 'hard target' with voice deterrents and lights, you significantly reduce the risk of becoming a victim of property crime.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition as standard. The system can read number plates and check them against the national database to identify cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. You can even use the scOS Director—our conversational AI—to ask, 'Which cars have been on my drive today?' This is a powerful tool for Steyning residents who want to protect their vehicles and monitor any suspicious traffic near their homes.

Our professional UK installation team can typically secure a Steyning home in 4-6 hours. We handle the entire setup, from the Intelligence Hub installation to the calibration of the AI for your specific property boundaries. Because we use wired connections, the system is much more reliable and secure than wireless alternatives. Once installed, we'll show you how to use the scOS Director to monitor your home's intelligence and stay informed about any activity on your property.
