Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records crime as it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a person in a hoodie. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—distinguishing between a swaying branch and a genuine intruder with zero false alarms. Instead of just watching, scOS intervenes automatically by activating lights and voice deterrents the moment a boundary is breached. It doesn't just document your loss; it actively works to prevent it from occurring in the first place.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform most existing wired IP camera systems into an intelligent AI powerhouse. Whether you have Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink cameras, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate them, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement. During our professional UK installation, we will assess your current setup to ensure compatibility. By adding scOS, your 'dumb' cameras gain the ability to detect property boundaries and trigger proactive responses.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're at the beach or out for dinner. Second, our MotionX detection identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your property, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide. Finally, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This combination makes your home a 'hard target' that criminals would rather avoid.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. All data processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and data belong solely to you and are never sold to third parties. You have complete control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary and identifying threats before they reach your front door. While a doorbell might capture a theft, scOS is designed to stop the crime from happening through proactive intervention. Furthermore, our wired system is far more reliable than wireless doorbells, which are easily bypassed by simple Wi-Fi jamming devices.

Swanage is a beautiful, safe place to live, but its popularity with visitors can occasionally attract opportunistic crime. With a property crime rate of 13.41 per 1,000 residents, it is lower than the national average, but this can lead to a false sense of security. scOS ensures that even in a quiet coastal village, your home remains protected by 24/7 AI monitoring that never gets complacent, keeping your property safe during the busy summer months and the quieter winter periods.

Absolutely. scOS features Presence Simulation, which is specifically designed for when you are away. It learns your typical home habits and replicates them—turning lights on and off in a natural pattern—to make it appear as though you are still in residence. If anyone does step onto your property, the system will detect them instantly and can even send a notification to your phone while you're enjoying the Purbeck coast or travelling further afield.

Our professional UK installation team handles everything in a single day, typically taking between 4 and 6 hours. We ensure that all external IoT speakers and sensors are positioned to withstand the coastal elements. Because we use wired connections rather than Wi-Fi, your system won't be affected by the thick stone walls common in many Swanage properties or by local signal interference.
