Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens so you can watch the footage later. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just detect motion; it identifies "important activity," such as a person approaching your boundary, while ignoring wind, animals, or spiders. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS auto-detects your property lines and uses external IoT speakers and lighting to intervene and deter intruders before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. We transform your "dumb" cameras into an intelligent network by connecting them to our Intelligence Hub, which provides the local processing power needed for our advanced AI features. This allows you to upgrade to world-class intelligence without the cost of replacing all your existing cameras.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your internal activity patterns and replicate them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, MotionX detection identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Finally, the system uses active intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS triggers instant illumination and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they have been spotted and are being monitored.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data stays yours and is never sold to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid approach: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes video locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door—often when it's already too late. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view and often relies on "dumb" motion sensing that triggers for every passing car, scOS monitors your entire boundary. It identifies threats at the edge of your property, provides escalating deterrents to stop them, and uses DVLA-linked vehicle recognition to flag suspicious cars. It’s a comprehensive security shield, not just a digital peephole.

In rural villages like Walgrave, police response times can be longer than in urban areas. scOS addresses this by being your first responder. Instead of just alerting you after a break-in has occurred, our AI intervenes the moment someone enters your property. By using voice warnings and automatic lighting, scOS often scares off intruders before they can do any damage, providing peace of mind that your home is actively defending itself even when help is miles away.

Walgrave is surrounded by beautiful countryside, which means plenty of wildlife. Traditional motion sensors would trigger for every fox or deer, leading to "notification fatigue." scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically trained to ignore animals and only alert you to "important activity"—namely, human intruders. This ensures that when your phone pings, it's something you actually need to know about, not just a badger in the garden.

Northamptonshire Police are dedicated, but proactive prevention is always better than a reactive investigation. scOS acts as a digital security guard for your property. By using Presence Simulation to make your home look occupied and escalating voice warnings to challenge intruders, scOS often stops a crime before it even starts. This reduces the burden on local police and ensures your Walgrave home remains a "hard target" for any opportunistic thieves.
