Traditional CCTV is a passive system that merely records events, often only providing evidence after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime from happening in the first place. The core of our system is MotionX, a revolutionary AI that detects 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means it won't be triggered by a fox in the garden or trees swaying in the Sussex wind. It requires no manual tripwires or motion masks; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS reacts instantly with automatic light responses and voice deterrents, actively warning intruders away before they can reach your home. It’s the difference between watching a burglary and stopping one.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. Our professional UK-based installation team can typically complete the setup in 4 to 6 hours, integrating your existing cameras with our Intelligence Hub. This hub transforms your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network capable of DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection. For Upper Dicker residents, this means you can upgrade to the latest AI security technology without the cost and disruption of replacing your entire existing camera system, making it a smart and efficient way to protect your home.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your daily routines and replicates them when you're away, making your home look occupied to anyone watching. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies human threats with high precision, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder enters your property, the system automatically triggers bright lights and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to startle and deter criminals at the boundary, ensuring they never get close enough to attempt a break-in.

Privacy is a top priority for scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, with all our data centres, support, and operations located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data is never sold to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub on your property handles the AI analysis locally for speed and privacy. The cloud is used only for secure escalation and to allow you remote access. You have 24/7 access to your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, ensuring you have total control over your home's data and privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door, leaving the rest of your property vulnerable. In a village like Upper Dicker, where properties often have side access or gardens, a doorbell is not enough. scOS provides comprehensive intelligence for your entire property. It uses DVLA vehicle recognition to spot suspicious cars and MotionX to detect intruders anywhere on your land. Unlike a doorbell, which only alerts you when someone is already there, scOS is proactive. It uses lights and voice deterrents to stop a criminal before they reach your home, providing a level of security that a simple doorbell cannot match.

Upper Dicker is home to prestigious institutions like Bede's School, and the area features many high-value properties that can attract sophisticated criminals. scOS is designed to counter this with features like DVLA vehicle recognition, which can identify vehicles with cloned plates that might be 'casing' the area. Our AI also detects covered faces, such as those wearing balaclavas or hoods, and flags them as high-priority threats. This level of advanced detection provides an essential layer of security for high-value homes, ensuring that even the most determined intruders are spotted and deterred before they can act.

Sussex Police do an excellent job, but in rural areas like Upper Dicker, response times can be longer than in nearby towns like Hailsham or Eastbourne. scOS acts as your first line of defence. By providing immediate, autonomous intervention through lights and voice deterrents, the system can often scare off an intruder in seconds—long before a police call could even be placed. This immediate response is vital for preventing crime and giving you peace of mind. Additionally, scOS provides high-quality, AI-analysed evidence that is far more useful for police investigations than standard CCTV footage.

scOS is designed to be incredibly easy to use through our scOS Director, a conversational AI. You don't need to be a tech expert to manage your security. You can simply ask natural questions like, 'Is everything okay at home?' or 'Who was at the gate this morning?' and the AI will provide a clear answer. This is perfect for Upper Dicker residents who want the best protection without the complexity of traditional high-end security systems. It’s like having a friendly, expert security guard you can talk to at any time, right from your smartphone.
