Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, but it does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web or gust of wind, scOS uses MotionX technology. This revolutionary AI ignores environmental noise and focuses exclusively on 'important activity,' such as a person approaching your property. Because it understands the difference between a cat and a person trying to hide their face, it provides zero false alarms. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. It automatically detects your property boundaries and can trigger lights or voice warnings the moment a threat is identified, rather than just sending a notification to your phone while the intruder is already inside. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. If you have a wired IP camera system (such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti), our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with it. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Hub, you gain access to our advanced MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents without needing to replace every camera. This makes upgrading to AI-driven home intelligence both cost-effective and sustainable, as we leverage the high-quality video feeds you already have and add the 'brain' that they currently lack.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals before they even reach your door. The first layer is Presence Simulation. Unlike simple timers, scOS learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away—turning lights on and off in a way that looks authentically human, making your home an unattractive target. The second layer is our MotionX detection. This AI is trained to recognise suspicious behaviour, such as someone loitering or covering their face, regardless of how they move. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries, scOS initiates Active Intervention. This starts with automatic light responses to illuminate the intruder and can escalate to voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. These aren't two-way audio clips; they are AI-driven deterrents that let the intruder know they have been spotted and identified, usually causing them to flee immediately.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy by design' approach. Your data is processed using a hybrid model: the Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the heavy lifting locally in your home, and only critical events are escalated to our secure cloud for processing and storage. We are a 100% UK-based company, which means all our data centres are located within the UK and we are fully GDPR compliant. Unlike many international smart home brands, we never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that your security system should protect your privacy just as much as it protects your physical property.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they’ve already arrived. scOS is a comprehensive home intelligence system that monitors your entire property boundary. While a doorbell might catch a parcel thief, scOS identifies a suspicious vehicle on your driveway using DVLA recognition or spots someone recently trying to enter through a side gate or rear window. Doorbells are often wireless and can be easily jammed or blocked; scOS uses professional wired installations that are resilient to interference. Most importantly, a doorbell is reactive. scOS is proactive—it uses presence simulation and escalating voice warnings to stop a crime from happening in the first place, rather than just giving you a video of the person who broke in.

Stone Cross has seen significant growth with many new housing developments, which can often be targeted by burglars who assume security hasn't been fully established yet. scOS is the perfect solution for new builds. Our professional UK installation team can set up a comprehensive system in just one day, ensuring your new home is protected from the moment you move in. With MotionX AI, your system will immediately start learning the 'normal' behaviour of your new street, alerting you to any anomalies.

Stone Cross's proximity to Eastbourne and the Pevensey Levels means there's a mix of local and through traffic. scOS's Person Recognition is designed to handle this. It doesn't use facial recognition; instead, it understands the difference between a neighbour walking their dog and someone showing suspicious intent, such as loitering or checking car door handles. This ensures you aren't bothered by constant alerts for normal village life, but you are immediately notified if something isn't right.

Yes, scOS is highly effective at protecting vehicles. With car theft being a concern across Sussex, our DVLA Vehicle Recognition and Active Intervention work together to safeguard your driveway. If someone approaches your car at night, scOS will instantly illuminate them and can issue a voice warning. This proactive approach is far more effective than a standard car alarm, which is often ignored by passersby.
