Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your home being burgled, whereas scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web or gust of wind, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only, such as a person approaching your property. It requires no manual 'tripwires' or 'zones' because it automatically understands your property boundaries. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents to scare off intruders before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a truly intelligent security network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, you gain access to MotionX detection, presence simulation, and our conversational AI, scOS Director, without needing to replace your entire infrastructure.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First, our 'Presence Simulation' makes your home appear occupied even when you're away by simulating natural human activity patterns inside the house. Second, our MotionX AI constantly monitors for suspicious behaviour, recognising people regardless of whether they are wearing masks or trying to hide their figure. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system initiates an escalating response: instant illumination from external lights followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive sequence is designed to convince a criminal that they have been spotted by a human guard, forcing them to retreat.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based company. All data processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before escalating to our secure UK-based cloud servers for advanced analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and data belong solely to you and are never sold to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already caused damage or stolen a package. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary, not just the front step. While doorbells often suffer from lag and 'false positives' from passing cars, scOS uses MotionX to ignore irrelevant movement and focus on genuine threats. By detecting an intruder the moment they step onto your driveway or garden, scOS can intervene and stop the crime from happening, rather than just providing a video of the event after the fact.

Wheathampstead is home to many beautiful, high-value properties that require a sophisticated touch. Our professional UK installation team is experienced in working with heritage and premium homes, ensuring that all wiring is discreet and the system's presence is subtle yet effective. We provide a bespoke setup that respects your home's character while delivering cutting-edge AI protection.

Many Wheathampstead residents enjoy large gardens or properties bordering the River Lea. scOS features Automatic Property Boundary Detection, which means the AI automatically learns where your land ends and the public path begins. There's no need for you to draw complex 'tripwires'; the system knows exactly when someone has stepped onto your private property and will only trigger an alert for genuine intrusions.

Our MotionX technology is designed to be 'zero false alarm.' In a leafy village like Wheathampstead, traditional cameras are often triggered by swaying trees, foxes, or owls. scOS ignores all of this, focusing only on 'important activity'—specifically human presence. This ensures that when your phone pings, it's something that actually requires your attention.
