Traditional CCTV is passive; it records what happened but doesn't stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which ignores the 'noise' of spiders, wind, or cars passing on the way to Norwich, focusing only on 'important activity.' Unlike standard systems that require manual 'zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action—triggering lights and voice warnings from external IoT speakers to deter the intruder. It’s the difference between watching a crime on your phone later and preventing it from ever happening.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with most wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have cameras installed at your Trowse Newton home, our professional UK installers can often integrate them into the scOS Intelligence Hub. This transforms your existing 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI network capable of person recognition and vehicle tracking. During our 4-6 hour installation process, we'll ensure your system is optimised for the best possible protection, prioritising wired connections to prevent the jamming risks associated with wireless systems.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent system. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by simulating your internal activity patterns while you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour and recognises people even if they are disguised. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers instant lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach is designed to make criminals feel 'watched' and 'identified' the moment they step onto your land, usually causing them to flee before they even reach your house.

Your data privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, with all data stored in secure UK data centres in compliance with GDPR. We never sell your data. Our system uses a hybrid 'Local + Cloud' model: the Intelligence Hub processes data locally for instant response, while our secure cloud allows for 24/7 recording access and advanced AI analysis. You have full control over your footage, which is stored for up to two weeks, ensuring your security is managed with the highest standards of British data privacy.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often reactive—alerting you only after someone is already there. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, detecting intruders the moment they enter your land. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and the ability to recognise covered faces, scOS offers a much higher level of security. For Trowse Newton residents, where property crime is above the national average, scOS provides the proactive protection needed to stop a crime before it starts, rather than just recording a porch pirate.

Trowse Newton’s proximity to Norwich and Whitlingham Country Park means a lot of unfamiliar vehicles pass through. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks registration plates against the national database. It can identify cloned plates or vehicles that don't match their registered description. You can even use scOS Director to ask, 'What cars have been on my drive today?' and get a natural language report. This is an invaluable tool for spotting 'scouting' vehicles that may be targeting the area.

Yes, scOS is perfect for Trowse Newton's village setting. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore the 'false positives' common in greener areas, such as swaying trees, blowing leaves, or local wildlife like deer or foxes. It focuses purely on human behaviour and 'important activity.' This means you won't be woken up by alerts every time a cat walks across your lawn, but you will be notified instantly if a person is lurking near your property.
