Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, often too late to do anything. scOS is an active participant in your home's security, powered by our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that trigger alerts for every swaying branch or passing cat, MotionX ignores the 'noise' and focuses exclusively on important activity. It recognises human movement even if someone is trying to hide their shape or cover their face, and because it understands your property boundaries automatically, there are no complex 'zones' to set up. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it intervenes with lights and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. Our Intelligence Hub is designed to transform 'dumb' cameras into an elite AI-driven network. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, we can usually integrate them directly into the scOS ecosystem. During our professional UK-based installation—which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By layering our AI intelligence over your existing infrastructure, you get the full suite of scOS features, including MotionX detection and proactive deterrents, without the need for a complete hardware overhaul. It’s a cost-effective way to upgrade to the UK’s most advanced home intelligence system.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal touches your property. The first layer is Presence Simulation; our AI learns your typical internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you’re away. If a trespasser does approach, our MotionX technology instantly identifies them as a threat, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or hood. This triggers the second layer: Active Intervention. Your external IoT speakers deliver clear AI voice warnings while your security lights provide instant illumination. Finally, we use an Escalating Response; if the intruder persists, the system ramps up its deterrents. This proactive stance is designed to make your home the most difficult and unattractive target on the street, stopping crime in its tracks.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed through a hybrid model: our Intelligence Hub handles immediate AI analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, while more complex tasks are escalated to our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your personal information or footage with third parties. You have total control over your data, with 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings via our secure app. We believe that your security system should protect your privacy just as much as it protects your physical property, ensuring your peace of mind remains absolute.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they’ve already rung it or tried the handle. scOS is a proactive, whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, from the back fence to the driveway. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop the crime from happening. A doorbell might show you a package being stolen, but scOS uses AI to detect the person approaching your driveway and deters them with voice warnings before they ever reach your porch. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection, scOS provides a level of professional-grade security that a consumer-grade doorbell simply cannot match.

Many Watton at Stone residents use the local rail link for work. Our Presence Simulation is perfect for commuters; it uses AI to learn your home's internal activity patterns and replicates them while you're away. This means your home looks occupied throughout the day and evening, significantly reducing the risk of being targeted by burglars who look for empty houses during commuting hours. You can head to the station with total confidence that scOS is keeping your home looking busy and secure.

scOS is designed to be intelligent enough to know who belongs on your property. Our 'Person Recognition' feature learns the typical behaviours of family members and regular visitors. This means you won't be bombarded with alerts every time your partner comes home or a known neighbour drops by. However, if an unrecognised person is detected—especially if they are behaving suspiciously or have their face covered—scOS will alert you immediately. It’s a sophisticated way to ensure you only get the notifications that matter, providing security without the annoyance of constant false alarms.
