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. Our proprietary MotionX technology eliminates the frustration of false alarms caused by spiders or wind by focusing exclusively on 'important activity,' such as a person approaching your property. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS works out of the box, using AI to understand the difference between a family member and a potential threat. When a genuine risk is identified, the system doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic lighting 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-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility with our Intelligence Hub. By layering scOS over your existing cameras, you gain access to advanced features like MotionX and scOS Director without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided your cameras are wired and meet basic technical standards.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to keep your home safe. 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 technology identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your property boundary—even if they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their silhouette. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination from smart lighting followed by authoritative warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive intervention is designed to convince a criminal that the property is occupied and monitored, forcing them to move on.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based company. All your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your personal information and footage never leave the country or get sold to third parties. The system uses a hybrid approach where the scOS Intelligence Hub processes most data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. You maintain full control over your data at all times, with 24/7 recording accessible only to you via our secure app.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole that tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a comprehensive home intelligence system that monitors your entire property boundary, not just the front door. While doorbells are reactive, scOS is proactive; it detects a person the moment they step onto your driveway and can intervene with voice deterrents before they ever reach your home. Furthermore, scOS uses professional wired connections which cannot be defeated by the 'WiFi jammers' that criminals increasingly use to disable wireless doorbells and cheap home cameras.

Whitefield is a popular residential area with many families and commuters. Our Presence Simulation is perfect for busy households, as it learns your family's actual routines and mimics them while you're out. This means that to anyone watching from the street, your home looks active and occupied, which is the single most effective way to deter opportunistic burglars.

Yes, scOS uses professional wired connections. This is a critical advantage in suburban areas like Whitefield, where criminals are increasingly using 'WiFi jammers' to disable wireless cameras and doorbells. Because scOS is hard-wired, it cannot be jammed, ensuring your security remains online and effective 24/7.

scOS features Person Recognition that focuses on behaviour rather than biometrics. It learns to recognise the typical movement patterns of your family members and regular visitors. This allows the system to remain silent when your kids come home from school but immediately alert you if a stranger is loitering in your garden or near your side entrance.
