Traditional CCTV is reactive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage of a person in a hoodie. scOS is proactive. Our system uses MotionX technology, which doesn't just look for 'motion' (which leads to false alarms from spiders or wind) but identifies 'important activity.' It understands the difference between a person, an animal, and a swaying branch without needing complex motion masks. When a genuine threat is detected at your property boundary, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. It can automatically trigger external lights and voice warnings to deter the intruder before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them from 'dumb' recording devices into proactive AI sensors. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering scOS intelligence over your existing cameras, you gain all the benefits of MotionX detection and proactive deterrents without needing to replace every piece of hardware. This makes upgrading to a truly intelligent home security system both cost-effective and efficient for Upton residents.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals in their tracks. First is Presence Simulation: when you’re away, the system simulates normal human activity patterns inside your home to make it look occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary—even if the person is trying to hide their face or change their silhouette. Third is Active Intervention. If an intruder persists, scOS triggers escalating responses, including instant illumination from external lights and clear voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By detecting and challenging the intruder at the boundary, we stop the crime before your home is ever breached.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global brands that ship data to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and then escalated to our secure UK-based cloud data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your footage is never sold or shared with third parties for marketing. You have total control over your data, with 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings from anywhere in the world. We combine the speed of local processing with the reliability of the cloud to ensure your Upton home is protected without compromising your privacy.

A video doorbell is a 'point-of-entry' device; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they’ve already pressed it or triggered a sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. Our AI monitors your entire property boundary, uses escalating deterrents to turn people away, and provides sophisticated features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection. A doorbell is a convenience; scOS is a comprehensive security solution that stops crime before it happens.

Upton’s proximity to Poole and the A35 makes it a convenient location, but it also means your property is accessible to those looking for easy targets. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is a powerful tool for Dorset homeowners. Our AI reads the registration of any vehicle entering your driveway and checks it against the national database. If a vehicle with a history of suspicious activity or cloned plates is detected, scOS can alert you immediately and trigger proactive deterrents. This ensures that your driveway is as secure as your front door.

Dorset Police do an excellent job, but they cannot be everywhere at once. scOS is designed to be your primary line of defence, deterring intruders before a crime is even committed. If an incident does occur, scOS provides high-definition, AI-filtered evidence that is far more useful than standard CCTV. Our system records 24/7 and stores up to two weeks of footage, allowing you to provide the police with clear details on person behaviour, vehicle registrations, and the exact timeline of events, significantly aiding any investigation.

Upton is a popular area for families and retirees who may travel frequently. scOS Presence Simulation is a key feature for these residents. It uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns—like when certain lights are usually on—and mimics them while you are away. This makes your home appear occupied to anyone watching from the street, providing a much more effective deterrent than simple light timers. You can travel with peace of mind, knowing scOS is making your home look lived-in and actively defending it.
