Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime as it happens, often leaving you with nothing but footage of a masked intruder. scOS is a proactive guardian. Our system uses MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means it ignores swaying trees, spiders, or wind, focusing entirely on genuine threats. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS works out of the box, automatically detecting your property boundaries. It doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light and voice responses to stop an incident before your home is even touched.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your 'dumb' cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we transform them into a proactive AI security system. This allows you to upgrade your home's intelligence without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided your existing cameras are wired, as we prefer wired connections over jam-prone wireless setups.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it appear occupied even when you're away in Fakenham or further afield. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they are moving or if they are attempting to conceal their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries, scOS triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to AI-generated voice warnings from external IoT speakers, designed to convince any intruder that they have been spotted by a live guard.

Your privacy is a cornerstone of our service. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Most of the intelligence is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub, only escalating to our secure cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell it to third parties. You have 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings from anywhere in the world, ensuring you are always in control of your Whissonsett property's security.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door—often when it's too late. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS uses proactive deterrents like presence simulation and voice warnings to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. It provides whole-property protection rather than just a narrow view of your front step, stopping crime before it happens rather than just recording it.

Whissonsett's rural location can mean longer response times for Norfolk Constabulary. scOS addresses this by providing immediate, autonomous intervention. The system doesn't wait for a human to see an alert; it uses AI to detect threats and deliver voice warnings and light responses instantly. This proactive approach is designed to drive intruders away immediately, effectively acting as an on-site security guard that never sleeps, which is vital for homes in more isolated village settings.

Yes, scOS is ideal for protecting outbuildings, garages, and workshops. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to monitor large areas and detect suspicious behaviour around these structures. Because the system automatically detects property boundaries, it can protect your entire plot, ensuring that your tools, equipment, or vehicles are just as secure as your main residence. The escalating response system will trigger if someone approaches these buildings, providing the same level of proactive protection across your whole property.

MotionX is revolutionary because it moves beyond simple pixel-change detection. In a village like Whissonsett, traditional cameras are often triggered by wildlife, falling leaves, or headlights. MotionX ignores these 'false' movements, focusing only on 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour. It can recognise a person even if they are crawling, wearing a balaclava, or trying to hide behind foliage. This ensures that when you get an alert, it's a genuine concern, providing you with zero false alarms and total peace of mind.
