Traditional CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records a crime as it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is fundamentally different because it is a proactive intelligence system. While your current cameras might send you a notification for every swaying branch or passing cat, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to filter out the noise. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity,' such as a person approaching your boundary or a vehicle lingering outside. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it acts. Through automatic property boundary detection, the system identifies when someone has crossed onto your land and can trigger an escalating response, from illuminating floodlights to delivering authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. It transforms your security from a passive record-keeper into an active, 24/7 digital guard that intervenes before a break-in can even occur. This means zero false alarms and genuine protection for your Stonnall home.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. We can take your existing 'dumb' wired IP cameras—whether they are Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti—and give them a 'brain.' During our professional UK installation, which typically takes between 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we connect them to our Intelligence Hub, which processes the footage locally before escalating critical data to our secure UK cloud. This means you don't have to invest in an entirely new set of cameras to benefit from our proactive AI features like MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition. We simply upgrade your current setup into a high-performance intelligence network, saving you money while significantly enhancing your home's security posture.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to ensure criminals never even attempt to enter your home. The first layer is Presence Simulation. This is a primary passive deterrent that makes your home appear occupied by simulating realistic human activity patterns inside, such as lights turning on and off in different rooms, which is far more effective than simple timers. The second layer is our MotionX detection. Unlike standard motion sensors, MotionX is incredibly intelligent; it recognises people regardless of how they move, what they are wearing, or if they are trying to cover their faces. Finally, if an intruder ignores these signs and enters your property, scOS initiates Active Intervention. This involves instant illumination of the area and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By the time a criminal reaches your door, they already know they've been spotted and recorded, usually causing them to flee immediately.

At scOS, we take your privacy as seriously as your security. Unlike many international brands, we are a 100% UK-based company. This means all your data is stored in UK-based data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. Your data stays yours; we never sell it or share it with third parties for marketing. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the heavy lifting locally on your property. Only when an 'important event' is detected is the data escalated to our secure cloud for 24/7 recording and remote access. You have full control over your footage, which is stored for up to two weeks, allowing you to review events from anywhere in the world via our secure app. We provide the peace of mind that comes with professional-grade security without compromising your personal privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. In contrast, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens across your entire property. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from your driveway to your back garden. Our system doesn't just show you a recording of a package being stolen; it uses AI to detect the person the moment they step onto your land and deters them with voice warnings and lights before they reach the door. Furthermore, scOS includes advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection that standard doorbells simply cannot match. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a professional security team watching over your entire Stonnall property 24/7.

Stonnall's location near the A5 and A461 makes it a convenient spot for commuters, but it also means a lot of unfamiliar vehicles pass through the village. scOS uses DVLA vehicle recognition to monitor traffic near your home. If a vehicle is seen multiple times or is identified as having cloned plates, the system will alert you. This is a powerful tool for identifying potential 'scouts' who may be looking for targets in the village, allowing you to take action before a crime is even attempted.

Yes, scOS is designed to be highly resilient. We use a professional wired-over-wireless architecture, meaning our cameras are physically connected to the Intelligence Hub. This makes the system immune to the Wi-Fi jamming devices that some modern burglars use to disable consumer-grade wireless cameras. For a village like Stonnall, where thieves may be more sophisticated, this hardwired reliability is a crucial feature that ensures your home is always protected.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be as hands-on or hands-off as you like. Through our 'scOS Director' conversational AI, you can ask natural questions about your property, such as 'Has anyone been near the garage today?' or 'What time did the delivery arrive?' You receive real-time alerts for 'important activity' only, so you aren't bothered by false alarms. Whether you're at work in Birmingham or on holiday, you can check your 24/7 recordings and manage your system settings with ease through our secure UK-hosted app.
