Traditional CCTV is a passive 'digital witness' that only records crime after it has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop crime in its tracks. The difference lies in our MotionX technology, which uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' rather than just simple motion. Unlike standard systems that require you to set up complex motion masks—which often fail due to wind or animals—MotionX works perfectly out of the box. It ignores environmental noise and focuses solely on human and vehicle movement. This means zero false alarms and a system that can autonomously respond to real threats with lights and voice warnings, protecting your Upwood home before an intruder even reaches your door.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have a camera system at your Upwood property, our professional UK installers can integrate it with our Intelligence Hub during a single-day, 4-6 hour installation. We transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level AI network, providing advanced features like person recognition and escalating responses without the need for a total hardware overhaul. It’s the smartest way to upgrade your home security using your existing infrastructure.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, our primary passive deterrent, which mimics your internal activity to make your home look occupied even when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious individuals regardless of how they move or if they try to conceal their identity. Third is active intervention: if someone enters your property, scOS triggers automatic lighting and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, escalating response is designed to deter criminals at the boundary, making it clear that your property is being actively defended by advanced AI.

We are a 100% UK-based company, and your data privacy is our top priority. All video processing is handled locally on your Intelligence Hub for maximum speed and security, with critical events backed up to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to 14 days. You can access your live feeds and recordings at any time through our secure, encrypted app, ensuring your Upwood home's data stays private and protected.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door; scOS is a proactive system that protects your entire property. While a doorbell might show you someone at your door, scOS detects threats as soon as they cross your property boundary, whether that's in your garden, driveway, or near your outbuildings. Unlike many doorbells that rely on WiFi and can be easily jammed, scOS uses reliable wired connections. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just record; it actively intervenes with lights and voice deterrents to stop crime before it happens, providing much more comprehensive protection for your home.

Upwood's proximity to Huntingdon and the A14 can make it a target for transient crime. scOS is specifically designed to counter this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition. Our AI identifies every vehicle that enters your property, checking registrations against the DVLA database to flag suspicious or cloned plates. This intelligence allows the system to alert you the moment an unrecognised or suspicious vehicle pulls onto your driveway, giving you a vital head start and providing Cambridgeshire Constabulary with high-quality evidence if needed.

Yes, scOS is perfect for protecting detached properties with multiple outbuildings or garages. Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, including any structures within them. If the system detects suspicious activity near your garage or shed, it can trigger specific deterrents for that area, such as turning on lights or issuing a voice warning. This ensures that your valuable tools, equipment, and vehicles are just as well-protected as your main house, providing complete peace of mind for your entire Upwood property.

scOS features Covered Face Detection, which is specifically designed to identify when someone is trying to hide their identity with a mask, hood, or balaclava. Instead of just recording a masked figure, our AI recognises this as a high-risk anomaly and can immediately trigger an escalating response, such as voice warnings and instant alerts to your phone. This ensures that even if an intruder tries to hide their face, they cannot hide their presence or their suspicious intent from the scOS system.
