Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch the footage later, which rarely leads to a conviction. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses our proprietary MotionX technology to understand what is happening in real-time. Unlike standard systems that trigger on every swaying branch or passing cat, MotionX ignores the noise and focuses only on 'important activity,' such as a person approaching your property. Because it understands context, it can trigger automatic interventions—like activating lights or voice warnings—to stop a crime before it happens. There are no complex motion masks to draw; the AI auto-detects your property boundaries and starts protecting you the moment it is installed, ensuring zero false alarms and total peace of mind.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence 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 to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our advanced AI layers—like DVLA vehicle recognition and person detection—without you needing to replace your entire infrastructure. This makes upgrading to scOS both cost-effective and environmentally friendly, as you are enhancing your current security investment with world-class AI capabilities.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal reaches your door. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them inside when you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour regardless of whether a person is wearing a mask or trying to hide their figure. Finally, if an intruder persists, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This isn't just a notification on your phone; the system automatically triggers external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and illuminates the area with instant light responses. This escalating response is designed to make the intruder feel watched and exposed, forcing them to abandon their attempt and move on.

At scOS, we believe your security data should be as private as your home. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. All your video data and AI processing are handled with the highest level of security in UK-based data centres, fully compliant with GDPR regulations. We use a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub in your home handles local tasks, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. Your data is never sold or shared with third parties; it remains entirely under your control. You can access up to two weeks of 24/7 recording from anywhere in the world, knowing that your privacy is protected by British law.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system designed to stop crime before it reaches the door. While a doorbell has a limited field of view and often relies on unreliable battery power or Wi-Fi, scOS uses wired connections that cannot be jammed and monitors your entire property boundary. Our AI detects threats at the edge of your land, triggering deterrents before a criminal even touches your property. While a doorbell might give you a video of a package being stolen, scOS prevents the thief from stepping onto your driveway in the first place, providing true proactive protection rather than just evidence.

Trinant's beautiful valley location often means properties have steep or irregular boundaries. Traditional security systems struggle with this, often requiring complex 'zones' that fail when the wind blows through the trees. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically designed to ignore environmental noise like swaying branches, shadows, or local wildlife. It focuses purely on human-like movement and 'important activity.' This means you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a false alarm caused by a fox or a gust of wind coming off the hills, but you will be alerted the second a person steps onto your land.

While Trinant enjoys a lower-than-average crime rate, rural villages can be targets for outbuilding and shed thefts. scOS allows you to extend your security perimeter to include garages, workshops, and sheds. Our AI auto-detects these boundaries and can be set to provide a 'Voice Deterrent' if someone lingers near these high-value areas after dark. Because the system is wired, it provides a stable connection even to buildings at the end of a garden, ensuring that your tools, bikes, and equipment are just as protected as your main home.

Our installation process is designed to be as non-intrusive as possible for Trinant residents. A professional UK-based engineer will arrive and complete the entire setup in a single day, usually within 4 to 6 hours. We use wired connections because they are far more secure and cannot be jammed like wireless systems, but we take great care to hide cabling and maintain the aesthetic of your home. Once installed, the system is fully autonomous; there's no need for you to spend hours configuring settings. The AI starts learning your property's 'normal' behaviour immediately, providing protection from day one.
