Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage for a police report. scOS is proactive home intelligence. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands activity. While old systems rely on 'motion masks' that fail when a spider crawls over the lens, MotionX ignores environmental noise like wind or animals and focuses solely on important activity. It automatically detects your property boundaries in Stowupland without you needing to draw digital lines. When a genuine threat is identified, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes with automatic light responses and escalating voice deterrents from external IoT speakers. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to breathe new life into existing hardware. If you have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can often integrate with them. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We transform 'dumb' cameras that simply record into 'intelligent' nodes of a proactive network. By offloading the heavy lifting to our local and cloud-based AI, your old cameras gain the ability to recognise people, detect covered faces, and trigger our sophisticated deterrent ecosystem, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop crime before it starts. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your normal internal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making your home look occupied to anyone scouting the area. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious behaviour or people attempting to conceal their identity with hoods or masks, even if they try to crawl or hide. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat crosses your property boundary, scOS triggers instant illumination and escalating voice warnings via external IoT speakers. Unlike a simple alarm, scOS provides a progressive response that makes it clear to any intruder that they have been spotted and are being monitored.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike many consumer brands that send footage to overseas servers, your video remains under your control. We use a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles initial detection locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud for advanced AI analysis and remote access. We never sell your data, and our 'scOS Director' conversational AI allows you to query your own data securely, ensuring you have the intelligence you need without compromising your family's privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. Doorbells often suffer from 'notification fatigue' due to false alarms and have a limited field of view. scOS uses MotionX to eliminate false alarms and monitors your whole perimeter, from the driveway to the back fence. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your land. With professional wired installation, scOS is also immune to the WiFi jamming techniques that sophisticated criminals use to disable wireless doorbells.

Stowupland’s growth and its proximity to the A14 mean that the village is seeing more transient activity. scOS is designed to handle this by providing a consistent, proactive presence. Our AI doesn't get tired or distracted; it monitors your property 24/7, distinguishing between the increased local traffic and genuine threats. For residents in newer developments or established homes, scOS offers a level of security that evolves with the village, ensuring your home remains a safe haven.

Yes, scOS features Covered Face Detection. If someone approaches your property wearing a balaclava, mask, or even a tightly pulled hood in suspicious circumstances, the AI flags this immediately. This is a vital feature for deterring more determined criminals who may try to hide their identity from traditional CCTV. scOS will recognise the concealment and can trigger an immediate voice deterrent to let the individual know they have been identified as a threat.

scOS is a wired system, which is a significant advantage over the wireless cameras often found in DIY kits. Wired connections are much more reliable and, crucially, cannot be 'jammed' by criminals using cheap electronic devices to block WiFi signals. Our professional UK installers handle all the cabling, ensuring a neat and secure setup that provides constant, high-quality data to your Intelligence Hub, giving you a robust defence that wireless systems simply can't match.
