Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive AI system. While traditional systems rely on 'motion detection' which is often triggered by wind, rain, or spiders, scOS uses our proprietary MotionX technology. MotionX is trained to identify 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour—meaning it ignores the false alarms that plague other systems. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. By using automatic property boundary detection, the system knows exactly where your land starts. If an intruder crosses that line, scOS can trigger instant light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to deter the criminal before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video feed locally before escalating critical data to our secure UK cloud. This means you don't need to rip out your existing infrastructure to benefit from world-class AI protection, vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents. It is a cost-effective way to upgrade to the most advanced home intelligence available.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage of an attempted break-in. The first layer is Presence Simulation. This is a passive deterrent that makes your home appear occupied by simulating human activity patterns inside the house while you are away, discouraging burglars from even choosing your property. The second layer is our MotionX detection. Unlike basic sensors, MotionX recognises people regardless of how they move or if they attempt to conceal their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, if a threat is detected on your property, scOS initiates Active Intervention. This involves instant illumination of the area and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These warnings become progressively more assertive if the intruder remains, making it clear that the property is being actively monitored by an intelligent system.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy by design' approach. We are a 100% UK-based company, which means all your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. Unlike many international competitors, we never sell your data to third parties. The system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub at your property handles the initial AI analysis locally. Only when 'important activity' is detected is the data escalated to our secure cloud for further processing and to allow you to access recordings from anywhere in the world. You maintain full control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. Your home is your private sanctuary, and our technology is built to protect that privacy, not compromise it.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your door, often after they have already pressed the button or been spotted by the camera's limited field of view. scOS is a comprehensive home intelligence system that protects your entire property, not just the front door. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. By using automatic boundary detection and MotionX technology, scOS identifies threats at the edge of your property. It provides a proactive response through lights and voice deterrents that a doorbell simply cannot match. Furthermore, scOS is a hardwired system, making it immune to the WiFi jamming techniques that many modern criminals use to bypass wireless doorbell cameras.

Stilton’s proximity to the A1 makes it an attractive target for 'commuter criminals' who use the major road network for quick access and escape. scOS features integrated DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the registration plates of vehicles entering your property against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a known history of suspicious activity is detected, the system can alert you immediately. This proactive approach allows you to identify potential threats before they even step out of their car, providing an essential layer of security for homes near high-traffic transit routes.

Stilton is a beautiful village with many historic and aesthetically significant homes. We understand that residents don't want their property looking like a high-security prison. Our professional UK installation team is expert at discreetly wiring and positioning cameras and IoT speakers to maintain your home's kerb appeal. Because scOS can work with almost any brand of camera, we can help you select hardware that blends into your architecture while still providing the powerful AI-driven protection of the scOS Intelligence Hub. You get the world's most advanced security without compromising the character of your Stilton home.

While Stilton enjoys a lower crime rate than the national average, Cambridgeshire Constabulary data suggests that rural villages can often be targeted because they are perceived as 'soft targets' with less active surveillance. scOS removes this vulnerability. Our Presence Simulation technology is a game-changer for village life, ensuring that even if you are out for the evening at The Bell Inn or away on holiday, your home appears active and occupied. By using AI to simulate realistic human activity patterns, scOS discourages opportunistic burglars from ever considering your property in the first place.
