Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, but it does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person lurking near your windows—while ignoring irrelevant motion like swaying trees or foxes. Unlike standard systems that rely on easily-fooled motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries and intervenes the moment a threat is detected. It doesn't just watch; it acts by triggering lights and voice warnings to deter intruders before they even reach your door, providing a level of security that old-fashioned cameras simply cannot match.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence 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 process, which typically takes between 4 to 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, such as MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition, to your current setup, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement while vastly upgrading your protection.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage of an attempted break-in. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second, our MotionX technology spots suspicious behaviour instantly, even if an intruder is wearing a mask or trying to hide their figure. Finally, the system initiates an Active Intervention: if a threat persists, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and floods the area with light. This proactive approach ensures that criminals feel watched and exposed, usually forcing them to flee before any damage is done.

Your privacy is our absolute priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Unlike many competitors who send your footage to overseas servers, all scOS data is processed through our UK-based data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. 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 AI analysis. You retain full control over your data at all times; we never sell your information, and your 24/7 recordings are stored securely for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door, but it rarely stops a determined criminal from entering through a side window or targeting your car. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring every angle of your home simultaneously. While a doorbell might send you a notification while you're asleep, scOS is already working to stop the crime through automatic light responses and voice deterrents. It’s the difference between having a record of a package being stolen and having a system that prevents the thief from ever stepping onto your driveway in the first place.

With crime rates in Tye Green exceeding the national average, Essex Police are often stretched thin. scOS acts as your own private security guard, providing immediate intervention the moment a threat is detected. By using light and voice deterrents to stop a crime before it happens, scOS reduces your reliance on emergency response times and ensures your home is never an easy target.

Vehicle theft and the use of cloned plates are concerns in the Braintree area. scOS features DVLA vehicle recognition, which logs every car that enters your property and checks its registration. This intelligence is invaluable for identifying suspicious activity early and providing high-quality evidence to Essex Police if a vehicle is flagged as suspicious or involved in an incident.

Yes, scOS is designed to be highly effective at night. Our MotionX technology works perfectly in low-light conditions, and the system's automatic light response ensures that any intruder is immediately illuminated. This not only deters the criminal but also ensures that your 24/7 recordings capture clear, high-quality footage of the event.
