Standard CCTV is a passive recording tool that only helps after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime from happening in the first place. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means no more false alarms from the wind or pets. Unlike traditional systems that require you to manually set up zones, scOS auto-detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automated light responses and voice warnings from external IoT speakers, stopping intruders in their tracks before they reach your home.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation—which takes about 4 to 6 hours—our engineers will integrate your existing cameras with the scOS Intelligence Hub. This transforms your 'dumb' cameras into a smart, proactive network. We prefer wired systems over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be defeated by the Wi-Fi jamming techniques often used by modern burglars. We will assess your current setup in Stoke Holy Cross to ensure it meets the high standards required for scOS intelligence.

scOS employs a three-tiered deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns while you're out—perfect for Stoke Holy Cross residents commuting into Norwich. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour and person recognition, even if the intruder is wearing a mask or hood. Third, if a boundary is breached, the system triggers an Active Intervention: lights flash and external IoT speakers deliver escalating voice warnings. This immediate, automated response makes criminals feel exposed and significantly increases the likelihood that they will flee before attempting a break-in.

We take data privacy very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring your personal information and video footage remain your property. The scOS Intelligence Hub processes data locally for immediate response, only using the cloud for advanced AI analysis and to allow you to access your system remotely. We never sell your data. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, giving you peace of mind that your privacy is protected.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole that only monitors your front door. scOS provides comprehensive property protection. It monitors your entire boundary—front, back, and sides—and uses AI to detect threats before they even reach your door. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief from stepping onto your driveway in the first place. With proactive voice deterrents and escalating responses, scOS offers a level of security that a simple doorbell camera cannot match, providing true peace of mind for your entire Stoke Holy Cross estate.

For many in Stoke Holy Cross, the daily commute to Norwich or London means the house is empty for long periods. scOS is specifically designed for this. Our Presence Simulation doesn't just turn lights on a timer; it learns your actual habits and replicates them, making it impossible for a burglar 'casing' the street to tell you're away. Combined with real-time alerts to your phone if any 'important activity' is detected, you can monitor your home from the office or the train with total confidence.

Stoke Holy Cross is a desirable area, which can unfortunately attract vehicle thieves. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which can check the registration of any vehicle entering your driveway against the DVLA database. It can identify cloned plates or suspicious vehicles that don't belong. If an unknown vehicle enters your property at an unusual hour, scOS can alert you immediately and even initiate a voice warning to let the driver know they are being monitored, protecting your cars before they can be targeted.

Absolutely. One of the most powerful features of scOS is 'scOS Director.' This is a conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask, 'Did any strangers come to the back gate today?' or 'What time did the kids get home?' This removes the need to scroll through hours of footage. It’s like having a digital security guard who can give you a full report on your home’s status in seconds, making it incredibly easy to use for everyone in the family.
