Every time you leave home, there's that nagging worry. Did I lock up properly? Is someone watching the house? You shouldn't have to feel anxious about your own home.
Something happened in the garden last night. Now you're scrubbing through 8 hours of footage trying to find 30 seconds of activity. Life's too short for this.
Your phone buzzes constantly. A cat. Cobwebs. Headlights. After a while you stop checking, which defeats the entire point of having cameras.
Not motion. Not shadows. scOS detects the kind of activity a trained security guard would notice. When your phone buzzes, it matters.
Family, friends, the builder—scOS learns who belongs. No repetitive alerts for familiar faces. Only strangers trigger attention.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in The City
Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that only provides evidence after a crime has been committed. scOS transforms your security into a proactive guardian using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on 'motion masks' and often trigger false alarms for spiders, wind, or shadows, MotionX focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It recognises human behaviour and forms, even if an intruder is crawling or attempting to hide their silhouette. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes automatically with lights and voice deterrents to stop the intruder in their tracks. This means you aren't just watching a burglary happen on your phone; you are preventing it from occurring in the first place.
Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works seamlessly with most existing wired IP camera systems, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. We transform your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network by connecting them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes data locally for speed and privacy before escalating critical events to our UK-based cloud. This means you can upgrade to world-class AI protection without the need to replace your entire existing infrastructure, making it a cost-effective way to secure your home in The City.
scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, our primary passive deterrent that learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone crosses your property boundary—no manual tripwires required. Finally, if a threat persists, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This involves instant illumination of external lights and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These aren't pre-recorded loops but AI-driven responses that let the intruder know they have been spotted and identified, usually causing them to flee before they reach your front door.
At scOS, we take your privacy as seriously as your security. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. All your video data and personal information are stored in secure UK data centres and are fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub at your property handles the initial AI analysis locally, ensuring lightning-fast response times. Only when a significant event is detected is the data escalated to our secure cloud for your remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell your information to third parties, and you have total control over who can view your footage.
A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. scOS provides total property intelligence. While a doorbell might capture a package thief, scOS monitors your entire boundary, detecting a scout or intruder before they even reach the house. Because we use wired connections rather than Wi-Fi, our system cannot be jammed by sophisticated criminals using 'de-auth' tools that render wireless doorbells useless. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just alert you to a problem; it actively intervenes to stop the crime. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a digital security guard watching every corner of your property 24/7.
While The City has a low crime rate, affluent villages are often targeted by professional criminals who scout properties in advance. scOS is designed to detect this 'scouting' behaviour. Our MotionX technology identifies individuals who are loitering or showing unusual interest in your boundaries, even during the day. By identifying these patterns early and using Presence Simulation to show the house is active, you can deter professionals who are looking for an easy, unoccupied target.
Thames Valley Police cover a large area, and providing them with clear, actionable evidence is key to any investigation. scOS records in high definition 24/7 and uses AI to index 'important activity.' This means if a crime occurs, you can quickly find the exact footage of the intruder, including any vehicle they used, thanks to our DVLA Vehicle Recognition. This high-quality evidence is far more useful to the police than hours of unindexed footage, increasing the chances of a successful recovery and prosecution.
scOS is built for the long term. Our professional UK installation ensures that all cameras are securely wired, which is far more reliable than wireless systems that can be affected by the thick walls of traditional Thames Valley homes. We provide ongoing support and regular software updates to ensure your AI stays at the cutting edge of security technology. With scOS, you aren't just buying a set of cameras; you're investing in a managed security service that evolves to meet new threats.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
