Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, often providing grainy footage that is useless for prosecution. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person approaching your home—while ignoring wind, animals, or shadows. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries and intervenes the moment a threat is detected, turning your security from a witness into a digital guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our UK engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub to unlock advanced AI features like vehicle recognition and proactive deterrents.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop crime before it happens. First, our Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside, even when you're away. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour or concealed faces the moment someone enters your property. Finally, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination from smart lighting followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers, ensuring intruders know they are being watched and recorded.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and security, with critical events escalated to our secure UK-based cloud servers for 24/7 access. We are fully GDPR compliant, and unlike many international competitors, we never sell your data or allow third-party access; your footage remains entirely under your control and is stored for up to two weeks.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already caused damage or stolen a parcel. scOS provides 360-degree intelligence for your entire property, detecting threats at the boundary line rather than the doorstep. While a doorbell is a passive notification tool, scOS is a complete security solution that uses AI to intervene and drive criminals away before they ever reach your front door.

In the New Forest, wildlife like ponies and deer are a constant presence. Standard motion-sensing cameras would flood your phone with false alerts in Sway. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically trained to ignore animals and focus only on 'important activity'—meaning human movement. You get the security you need without the annoyance of constant false alarms.

Sway's rural setting means some properties have large gardens or long driveways. scOS uses automatic property boundary detection, which means the AI learns where your land ends and the public forest begins. It monitors your entire perimeter, providing an early warning system that triggers deterrents the moment someone steps onto your private property, long before they reach the house.

Yes, scOS is designed to detect suspicious concealment. If someone approaches your property wearing a balaclava, mask, or even a tightly pulled hood in unusual circumstances, the AI flags this as 'Covered Face Detection.' This immediately triggers a higher level of escalating response, such as brighter lighting and more direct voice warnings, to ensure the intruder knows their attempt at anonymity has failed.
