Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime before it happens. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web or gust of wind, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only. It recognises people regardless of how they move or what they are wearing, meaning zero false alarms for you. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. By detecting a threat at the property boundary, it can trigger automatic light responses and voice deterrents to warn intruders off before they ever reach your door. It transforms your security from a digital witness into an active digital guard.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can breathe new life into your existing 'dumb' cameras. If you have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with them. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes just 4 to 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware. We transform these passive cameras into an intelligent network by routing their feeds through our local processing hub. This allows you to keep your existing investment while upgrading to world-class AI features like MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive voice deterrents without needing a full hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away, the system learns your normal internal lighting and activity patterns and replicates them, making your home look occupied to anyone scouting the area. 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. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This isn't just a silent alert; scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and illuminates the area with automatic light responses. This immediate, proactive feedback tells the intruder they've been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who send all your data abroad, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then backed up to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. This hybrid approach ensures that your system works even if the internet goes down, while providing you with 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings from anywhere in the world. We never sell your data, and you maintain full control over who can view your feeds. By keeping everything within the UK, we ensure the highest standards of data protection and provide you with the peace of mind that your private life stays private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door once they've already arrived. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system designed to stop a criminal before they even reach your doorstep. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that auto-detects your land lines. It doesn't just show you a recording of a package being stolen; it uses proactive deterrents like voice warnings and presence simulation to prevent the thief from approaching in the first place. Furthermore, scOS is professionally installed and wired, meaning it can't be jammed like many wireless doorbell cameras, providing a much higher level of professional-grade security.

Vigo Village is famous for its beautiful woodland setting near Trosley Country Park, but trees and wildlife are the enemies of traditional CCTV. Standard motion sensors would be triggered constantly by swaying branches and deer. scOS uses MotionX technology, which ignores environmental motion and animal activity. It is specifically trained to recognise human patterns, even if someone is trying to use the woodland shadows for cover. This means you get the peace of mind of high-level security without the annoyance of constant false alerts on your phone, allowing you to enjoy the tranquility of the village.

While Vigo Village has an exceptionally low crime rate, its secluded nature and high-value properties can unfortunately attract targeted 'out of town' interest. scOS is designed to prevent complacency. Our Presence Simulation feature ensures that even if you're away for a weekend or a late dinner in Meopham, your home appears fully active and occupied. By simulating human activity patterns inside, scOS removes the 'empty house' signal that burglars look for. Combined with our proactive boundary detection, scOS ensures that Vigo remains the safe, private enclave its residents value.

Many homes in Vigo Village feature long, private driveways that are difficult to monitor with standard equipment. scOS solves this with AI-driven boundary detection. The system automatically identifies where your property begins and monitors the entire length of your drive. Using DVLA Vehicle Recognition, it can alert you the moment an unrecognised vehicle enters your land, checking the plate against national databases. This early warning system gives you time to react and allows the scOS voice deterrents to engage an intruder long before they reach your front door or garage.
