Traditional CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. In Sutton Common, where police response times can vary due to our rural Suffolk location, waiting for a recording to be reviewed is often too late. scOS introduces MotionX technology, which moves beyond simple motion detection. While standard systems are plagued by false alarms from swaying trees or local wildlife, MotionX identifies 'important activity.' It recognises the specific patterns of human movement, whether someone is walking normally or trying to conceal their presence. Instead of just filming an intruder, scOS proactively intervenes with automated light responses and voice deterrents, stopping the incident before your property is even touched. It’s the difference between having a camera and having a virtual security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. We designed scOS to be brand agnostic, meaning it can breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink already installed at your Sutton Common home, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with it. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes just 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We transform your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network by offloading the processing to our local Hub and secure UK cloud. This saves you the cost of a full hardware replacement while upgrading you to world-class AI protection, including property boundary detection and escalating responses.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to ensure criminals never feel comfortable targeting your home. The first layer is Presence Simulation; the system learns your typical internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you’re away—a vital feature for those quiet Suffolk nights. If a prowler does approach, our MotionX AI detects them the moment they cross your property boundary—which the system auto-detects without any manual setup. The second layer is active intervention: the system instantly triggers external lighting and delivers authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. Unlike a standard alarm that people might ignore, these escalating responses signal to the intruder that they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your footage remains your property and is never sold or accessed by third parties without your explicit consent. You have total control over your data through the scOS app, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks. We believe that home security should never come at the cost of your personal privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you who is at the door, but it rarely stops a determined burglar from entering through a side window or the back garden. In a village like Sutton Common, where properties often have multiple entry points, a doorbell simply isn't enough. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, not just the front step. While a doorbell might send you a notification while you're at work, scOS actually intervenes on your behalf using AI-driven lights and voice deterrents. It’s a proactive security solution designed to prevent a break-in from occurring, rather than just providing a video of it happening.

Living in a rural Suffolk village means dealing with plenty of local wildlife, from foxes to deer. Traditional motion sensors would be triggered constantly, leading to 'notification fatigue' where you eventually ignore the alerts. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically trained to ignore animals, wind-blown foliage, and even spiders crawling across the lens. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour and vehicle movements. This ensures that when your phone pings, it’s a genuine security concern, not just a pheasant in the garden.

Yes, scOS features DVLA-integrated vehicle recognition. For residents in Sutton Common, this is particularly useful for identifying suspicious vehicles that may be scouting the area. The system doesn't just see a car; it checks the registration against the DVLA database to flag cloned plates or vehicles that don't belong. You can even ask the scOS Director, our conversational AI, questions like 'What cars have been on the driveway today?' to get an instant, natural language report of all vehicle activity around your property.

Rural properties often have outbuildings or garages that are prime targets for theft. scOS is designed to cover your entire property boundary automatically. Because we use wired connections rather than jam-prone Wi-Fi, we can reliably extend protection to detached garages or workshops. The AI treats these structures as part of your protected zone, applying the same escalating voice and light deterrents if someone approaches them, ensuring your tools, bikes, or garden equipment are just as secure as your main residence.
