Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Using our MotionX technology, it identifies 'important activity'—specifically human movement—and ignores distractions like wind, shadows, or animals. Unlike other systems, scOS auto-detects your property boundaries without needing manual setup. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action, using automatic lights and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to drive intruders away before they can cause damage. It’s a proactive guard for your home, not just a witness.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. We can transform your current 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network by connecting them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will ensure your existing setup is optimised for our AI features. We prioritise wired connections because they are more secure and cannot be blocked by the WiFi jammers that are becoming common in modern burglaries.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent system. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your daily activity patterns when you're out. Second, MotionX detection identifies suspicious individuals even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third, Active Intervention uses bright lights and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to alert the intruder that they are being monitored. This combination removes the criminal's anonymity and the element of surprise, making your Upwell or Outwell home a much less attractive target.

We take data privacy very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Your footage is never sold or shared with third parties. The system uses a hybrid approach, processing most data locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy, and only using the cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often reactive, only alerting you once someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive protection for your entire property, including driveways, side entrances, and gardens. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief before they even reach the porch. With professional-grade AI and active deterrents like external speakers, scOS offers a level of security that a simple doorbell camera cannot match.

The unique landscape of the Fens, with its canals and open fields, means property boundaries can be long and sometimes difficult to secure. scOS is perfect for this because our AI automatically detects your property lines. Whether someone approaches from the road or the water, the system will identify them the moment they step onto your land. It ignores the local wildlife and moving water, focusing only on human threats, ensuring your isolated property is always protected without constant false alarms.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition. For residents in Upwell and Outwell, where many homes have long driveways, this is an essential feature. The system identifies registration plates and checks them against the DVLA database. If an unknown or suspicious vehicle enters your driveway, scOS can alert you immediately. You can even ask the scOS Director, 'What vehicles have been seen on the drive today?' for a complete summary of all vehicle activity.

Presence Simulation is one of our most powerful features for village residents. It doesn't just turn lights on and off on a timer; it learns your actual habits—like which rooms you use and when—and recreates them when you're away. This makes your home look truly lived-in, which is the best way to deter burglars who are 'casing' a neighbourhood. Combined with our proactive AI, it provides a complete 'lived-in' defence for your home, even when you're miles away.
