Traditional CCTV is reactive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage of a masked intruder. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands 'important activity.' It ignores the wind in the trees or spiders on the lens, focusing exclusively on genuine threats. When a person is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. By using automatic light responses and escalating voice deterrents from external IoT speakers, it challenges intruders before they reach your door. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex 'motion zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries, providing a 'set and forget' intelligence that actually prevents crime rather than just filming it.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras—such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti—our Intelligence Hub can usually transform them into an AI-powered security powerhouse. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS ecosystem, we 'upgrade' their brains. They stop being 'dumb' cameras that send constant false alerts and start using our MotionX intelligence to identify people, recognise vehicles via DVLA databases, and trigger our proactive deterrents. This saves you the cost of new hardware while providing state-of-the-art protection.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals in their tracks. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away, scOS mimics human activity patterns inside your home to make it look occupied, deterring burglars from even trying. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing a hood or trying to hide their face. Third is Active Intervention. If a threat persists, the system triggers instant illumination and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This 'escalating response' makes it clear to any intruder that they have been spotted and that the property is being actively monitored by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy, with only essential escalations sent to our secure UK-based cloud servers. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your data with third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. Because we use local processing combined with cloud intelligence, you get the best of both worlds: lightning-fast AI response times and the security of knowing your home's data never leaves the country.

A video doorbell is a communication tool; scOS is a security system. Doorbells generally only see what's directly in front of your door and often suffer from 'notification fatigue' due to false alarms from cars or pedestrians. scOS protects your entire property boundary. While a doorbell tells you someone is there, scOS stops them from getting there in the first place. Our system uses AI to recognise the difference between a delivery driver and someone loitering with intent. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and proactive voice deterrents, scOS provides a comprehensive shield for your whole home, not just a small window into your porch.

West Thorney's coastal location means security hardware is exposed to salt air and high winds. We use professional-grade, wired IP cameras that are built to withstand the elements. More importantly, our MotionX AI is designed to ignore the movement of waves, sea spray, and wind-blown debris that would trigger constant false alarms on a standard system. This ensures that even in a coastal storm, your security remains focused on genuine human threats.

For residents who travel or have second homes in West Thorney, Presence Simulation is a game-changer. Unlike simple light timers, scOS learns your actual habits—when you'd usually be in the kitchen, when you'd watch TV, and when you'd go to bed. It then simulates these patterns using your internal smart lighting and devices. To an outside observer, the home looks genuinely occupied, which is the single most effective way to prevent a burglary before it's even attempted.

We understand the unique nature of West Thorney. Our professional UK installation team will work with you to ensure your system is perfectly calibrated for your property's layout. We use wired connections (PoE) which are far more reliable than WiFi, especially in areas where signal might be patchy. The entire installation is completed in a single day, leaving you with a fully operational, AI-powered security system that requires zero daily management.
