Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime while it happens. scOS is an active intelligence system that works to prevent the crime entirely. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, the system identifies 'important activity'—specifically human threats—rather than just simple motion like a swaying tree or a passing cat. This means no more annoying false alarms or the need to draw complex motion masks. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice warnings to deter the intruder before they ever reach your door.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' wired IP cameras into a cutting-edge intelligent system. We are compatible with most major brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes between 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade your home security to AI-level protection without the need to replace all your existing hardware.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic normal human activity patterns inside your home, making it appear occupied even when you are away. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary, even if the intruder is attempting to hide their face or change their silhouette. Finally, if a threat persists, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This involves instant illumination and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers, making it clear to the criminal that they are being watched by an intelligent system.

We take your privacy and data security extremely seriously. Unlike many other providers, scOS is 100% UK-based, meaning our company, our support teams, and our data centres are all located within the UK. Your system is fully GDPR compliant, and your data remains entirely yours—we never sell it to third parties. We use a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub handles most tasks locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already pressed the button. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary and detects suspicious activity long before anyone reaches your entrance. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief from stepping onto your driveway in the first place. Furthermore, our system is professionally wired, meaning it cannot be defeated by the simple WiFi jamming techniques that often render wireless doorbells useless.

For residents commuting from Walter's Ash or Naphill, Presence Simulation is a game-changer. It doesn't just turn a light on and off; it uses AI to simulate the actual patterns of life inside your home—moving lights from room to room as if someone is walking through the house. This makes your property look genuinely occupied throughout the day and evening, which is the single most effective way to discourage burglars who are looking for empty commuter homes to target.

Yes, scOS is fully compatible with professional-grade cameras from Hikvision and Dahua. If you already have these installed at your property, our Intelligence Hub can take over the video feed and apply our MotionX AI to it. This transforms your existing setup from a simple recording device into a proactive security system that can detect covered faces, recognise vehicles via the DVLA database, and deliver voice warnings through our external IoT speakers.

Our installation team consists of professional UK-based engineers who specialise in high-end residential security. We perform a full site survey during the installation to ensure optimal camera placement for boundary detection. The process is clean, efficient, and typically completed in 4-6 hours. We ensure all wiring is discreet and that your Intelligence Hub is configured to provide the highest level of protection for your specific property layout in the Chilterns.
