Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device; it’s a witness that tells you what happened after the fact. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. It uses our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—ignoring pets, wind, and shadows—to focus exclusively on genuine threats. Unlike standard systems where you have to manually draw zones, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes. Through automatic lighting and AI-driven voice warnings from external IoT speakers, it deters intruders before they can attempt a break-in. It’s like having a professional security team monitoring your Whaplode Drove home 24/7.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If your Whaplode Drove home already has a professional wired IP camera system—such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Axis—we can typically integrate it with our AI Intelligence Hub. This transforms your existing 'dumb' cameras into a proactive security network. During our single-day professional installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup and ensure everything is optimised for our AI. This allows you to leverage the hardware you already own while gaining the cutting-edge proactive features that only scOS provides.

scOS employs a powerful three-layer deterrent strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which makes your Whaplode Drove home appear occupied by mimicking realistic human activity patterns inside the house while you're away. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious individuals the moment they cross your boundary, regardless of how they are dressed. The final layer is Active Intervention: if an intruder persists, the system triggers escalating responses, including instant lighting and clear AI voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This multi-stage approach is designed to stop an intruder at the boundary.

We take data privacy extremely seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. Unlike many other smart home brands, we are fully GDPR compliant and we never sell your data to third parties. Your video footage is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy, with only critical events escalated to our secure cloud. You have total control over your data, with 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings through our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is a consumer-grade gadget that only monitors your front door; scOS is a professional-grade intelligence system that protects your entire property. Doorbells are often reactive, alerting you only when someone is already at the door, and they are easily bypassed. scOS uses wired connections for maximum reliability and monitors your entire property boundary. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition to spot suspicious cars and MotionX to detect intruders in your garden or side access, scOS stops crime before it happens.

The isolated nature of the Lincolnshire Fens means that police response times can be longer than in urban areas. scOS is designed to be your first line of defence, intervening the second a threat is detected. By using external IoT speakers and automatic lighting to drive criminals away before they can attempt entry, scOS provides the immediate response that is so critical for rural properties in Whaplode Drove. It doesn't just record the crime; it actively works to prevent it.

Yes. scOS features 'Covered Face Detection' as part of its AI suite. If someone approaches your Whaplode Drove property wearing a balaclava, mask, or even a pulled-up hood in suspicious circumstances, the system recognises this as an anomaly. It will immediately escalate the response, potentially skipping straight to voice warnings and high-intensity lighting, while sending an urgent alert to your phone. This ensures that even the most prepared intruders are identified and deterred the moment they step onto your land.

The scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Director, was there anyone on the driveway last night?' or 'Did the postman come today?' The AI understands the context of your property and provides instant, accurate answers. It’s like having a security guard who has watched every second of footage for you, ready to report back on exactly what you need to know about your Whaplode Drove home.
