Traditional CCTV is a passive recording tool; scOS is a proactive intelligence system. The main difference is our MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity' rather than just movement. This means it ignores spiders, wind, and animals, resulting in zero false alarms. Unlike standard systems that just record a crime, scOS intervenes. When a threat is detected, it triggers automatic lights and voice warnings to stop intruders before they can act. It’s like having a digital security guard for your home, not just a camera.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional, wired IP cameras like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have a system in Taverham or Drayton, our UK-based engineers can often integrate your existing cameras into our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your 'dumb' cameras into a proactive AI network, giving you access to MotionX detection, presence simulation, and our conversational AI without needing to replace all your hardware. We’ll assess your current setup during our professional 4-6 hour installation.

scOS uses three layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns—perfect for when you're away. Second, MotionX AI detects intruders the moment they cross your boundary, even if they are disguised. Finally, Active Intervention uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers automatic lighting. This escalating response shows the intruder that the house is actively monitored by an intelligent system, which is usually enough to make them flee immediately.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data to third parties. The system uses local processing on your Intelligence Hub for speed and cloud processing for secure storage. You have 24/7 access to your recordings for up to two weeks via our secure app, and you remain in total control of your information at all times.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often reactive—it tells you someone is there after they've already arrived. scOS provides comprehensive intelligence for your entire property. It detects threats at the boundary, long before they reach your home, and uses proactive deterrents to stop them. Additionally, doorbells are often wireless and can be easily jammed. scOS uses professional wired connections, ensuring that your security remains online and effective 24/7, no matter what.

Taverham and Drayton are beautiful, green areas, but this often means cameras are plagued by false alarms from wildlife, swaying trees, and spiders. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically engineered to ignore these environmental factors. It focuses purely on 'important activity'—the movement of people and vehicles. This means you won't be bothered by constant notifications every time a fox runs across your lawn or the wind picks up; you'll only be alerted when there is a genuine reason to look.

Even in very safe areas like Taverham and Drayton, it's important not to become complacent. Crime can happen anywhere, and being prepared is the best way to ensure it doesn't happen to you. scOS provides a proactive deterrent that keeps your home safe without you having to think about it. Our Presence Simulation and boundary detection work 24/7 to maintain the peace and security you enjoy, ensuring that your home remains as safe as the day you moved in.

The scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' or 'Did any delivery vans arrive today?' The Director will analyse the data and give you a clear, spoken or written answer. It’s like having a 24/7 security guard who knows exactly what’s happening on your property and can report back to you instantly, giving you total peace of mind.
