Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records footage of a crime that you can watch later, but it does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system powered by MotionX, our revolutionary activity detection engine. Unlike standard systems that rely on 'motion masks' and frequently trigger false alarms for spiders, wind, or shadows, MotionX focuses only on 'important activity.' It recognises people whether they are walking normally, crawling, or attempting to conceal their shape. Because it understands the difference between a threat and a blowing branch, we can offer zero false alarms. While your old system might give you a video of a burglary to show the police later, scOS identifies the threat the moment it enters your property boundary and intervenes automatically to prevent the crime from ever occurring.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a truly intelligent security network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video feeds locally using our AI, adding features like MotionX detection and property boundary recognition to your existing setup. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the cost of replacing every camera on your property, provided they meet the necessary technical standards for high-definition streaming.

scOS deters criminals through three sophisticated layers of proactive protection. The first is Presence Simulation, which makes your home appear occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns, such as turning lights on and off in a natural sequence. If a criminal approaches, our MotionX technology detects them instantly, even if they are wearing a balaclava or hood. This triggers the second layer: Active Intervention. External IoT speakers deliver an AI-generated voice warning—not a simple recording, but a clear message that they have been detected. Simultaneously, the system triggers an automatic light response, flooding the area with light. Finally, the response is escalating; if the intruder remains, the warnings become more frequent and intense. This combination of appearing occupied and providing immediate, intelligent feedback ensures that criminals move on to an easier target.

At scOS, we believe your security data should be yours alone. Unlike many international brands that ship your footage to servers in the US or China, scOS is 100% UK-based. All our data centres are located within the UK, and we are fully GDPR compliant. Our system uses a hybrid approach: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes the majority of the AI logic locally on your property for speed and privacy. When an event requires escalation or cloud storage, it is sent to our secure UK servers using end-to-end encryption. We never sell your data to third parties or use your footage for anything other than your own security. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a slow PIR sensor. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. Using MotionX, it identifies threats the moment they step onto your land, not just when they reach the front door. Furthermore, doorbells rarely deter a determined criminal; they just record them. scOS actively intervenes with voice deterrents and light responses to stop the intruder before they even reach your entry points. It’s the difference between a digital peephole and having a virtual security guard patrolling every corner of your Thorpe property 24/7.

Thorpe faces unique challenges due to the massive footfall from Thorpe Park and its proximity to the M25. This high volume of transient visitors can lead to increased opportunistic crime. scOS is specifically designed for high-risk areas. Our MotionX AI can distinguish between a family walking to the park and someone loitering near your property with suspicious intent. By providing an immediate, visible, and audible deterrent, scOS makes it clear to any potential intruder that your home is a 'hard target,' encouraging them to move on immediately.

In a busy area like Thorpe, traditional motion sensors would be going off constantly. scOS uses Automatic Property Boundary Detection and MotionX to eliminate this problem. Our AI understands exactly where your property ends and the public pavement begins. It ignores people walking past on their way to the theme park but triggers instantly if someone crosses onto your driveway or garden. This means you get zero false alarms from the high local footfall, but total protection for your actual home.

Vehicle theft is a significant concern in Surrey. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which monitors every car that enters your driveway. It checks registrations against the DVLA database and can alert you if a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is detected. Combined with our person detection that can spot someone attempting a relay attack on your car keys, scOS provides a comprehensive shield for your vehicles in a high-risk area like Thorpe.
