Most CCTV systems are passive recorders that only provide evidence after a crime has occurred. scOS is an active intelligence system. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, scOS identifies 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour—rather than just pixel movement. This means no false alarms from the Norfolk wind or local wildlife. When the system detects a person crossing your property boundary, it doesn't just record; it acts. By triggering lights and voice warnings through external IoT speakers, scOS intervenes to stop the crime before it happens, whereas traditional CCTV just watches it unfold.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can integrate with most existing wired IP camera systems like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink. Our professional UK installers will visit your West Winch home for a 4-6 hour setup, where they will connect your current cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub 'upgrades' your existing hardware with our advanced AI capabilities, including DVLA vehicle recognition and proactive voice deterrents, without the need for a complete and costly hardware replacement.

scOS employs a three-tier deterrence strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns while you're out. Second, MotionX AI detects intruders even if they are masked or trying to hide their shape, ensuring no one sneaks onto your land. Third, the system uses active intervention: if a boundary is breached, scOS can instantly turn on external lights and deliver authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. This immediate, escalating response is designed to scare off intruders long before they attempt a break-in.

We take data privacy very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike other systems that process everything in the cloud, our Intelligence Hub does the heavy lifting locally at your home. Only critical alerts and recordings are sent to our secure cloud for you to access. Your data belongs to you; we never sell it, and we ensure it stays within the UK's jurisdiction.

A video doorbell is a great tool for seeing who is at the door, but it's reactive and limited in scope. scOS provides comprehensive property protection. It monitors your entire boundary—including driveways and side gates—not just the front door. While a doorbell might alert you when someone is already standing on your porch, scOS detects them the moment they step onto your property and uses active deterrents like lights and voice warnings to prevent them from ever reaching your door.

West Winch's position on the A10 makes it accessible for transit-related crime. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the number plates of cars entering your property against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unrecognised car pulls into your drive, scOS identifies the anomaly and can alert you immediately, providing an extra layer of security against opportunistic vehicle theft.

Norfolk can be windy, which often causes traditional motion-sensing cameras to trigger false alerts from swaying trees or blowing debris. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically trained to ignore environmental factors like wind, rain, and shadows. It focuses solely on 'important activity'—human and vehicle movement—ensuring that when your phone pings, it’s a genuine security concern, not just a gust of wind.

Yes, scOS is perfect for protecting detached properties with outbuildings or garages. Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, so any unauthorised movement near your garage or shed will trigger the same proactive response as movement near your main house. You can even use the 'scOS Director' to ask natural questions like, 'Is the garage door shut?' or 'Has anyone been near the shed today?' for instant peace of mind.
