Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, whereas scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime before it happens. While standard systems rely on 'motion masks' that trigger false alarms from spiders or wind, our MotionX technology uses advanced spatial awareness to identify 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour—with zero false alarms. Instead of just filming a break-in, scOS detects the approach, identifies the threat, and uses escalating responses like light and voice deterrents to turn the intruder away before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence security network. If you have a wired IP camera system (such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink), our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with it during our professional single-day installation. During your initial assessment, our UK-based engineers will verify your hardware's compatibility to ensure it can support our advanced AI features like MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition.

scOS employs a three-layered proactive defence strategy. First, Presence Simulation learns your daily habits to realistically mimic human activity inside your home when you're out, making the property appear occupied to anyone watching. Second, our MotionX AI monitors your boundaries 24/7, instantly recognising people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system triggers an active intervention: external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings while smart lighting illuminates the intruder, creating an escalating response that forces criminals to flee.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. All data processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK data centres, ensuring full GDPR compliance. Unlike many international brands, we never sell your data or allow third-party access; your footage and activity patterns remain entirely under your control, accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While doorbells are often wireless and easily jammed, scOS uses professional wired connections for 24/7 reliability. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes, using AI to detect suspicious behaviour across your whole garden or driveway and stopping a crime before the intruder ever gets close to your front door.

Watchet's coastal location means security hardware needs to be robust. Unlike wireless DIY cameras that can struggle with signal interference and battery drain in cold, salty air, scOS uses professional-grade wired connections. This ensures a stable, high-speed data link for our AI to process images in real-time, providing 24/7 reliability regardless of the Somerset weather.

If you have a second home or holiday let in Watchet, scOS is the perfect solution. Our Presence Simulation makes the property look lived-in even during the off-season, while the scOS Director allows you to check in on the property from anywhere in the world. You can ask the AI for a summary of activity, giving you total peace of mind without needing to be on-site.

Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore non-human movement. In a coastal town like Watchet, this means the system will not be triggered by seagulls, blowing sand, or the movement of boats in the distance. It focuses purely on human activity, ensuring that when you get an alert, it's something that actually requires your attention.
