Traditional CCTV is a passive witness that only records crime as it happens, often leaving you with nothing but grainy footage of a getaway. scOS transforms your security into a proactive digital guard. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, the system ignores irrelevant movement like swaying trees or pets and focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is detected, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic lighting and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between watching a crime and preventing one entirely.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. We can take your existing 'dumb' wired IP cameras—whether they are Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, or Axis—and give them a 'brain.' By connecting your current hardware to our scOS Intelligence Hub, we upgrade your passive recording setup into a fully proactive AI security system. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current cameras to ensure they meet the technical requirements for our AI processing. This allows you to leverage your previous investments while benefiting from world-class AI monitoring and proactive protection.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal touches your property. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal activity patterns and simulates them while you're away, making your home appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour—even if the person is crawling or wearing a mask—without the false alarms that lead to complacency. Finally, if an intruder crosses your boundary, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By removing the element of surprise and making the intruder feel watched, scOS forces them to move on.

Privacy and trust are at the heart of scOS. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information remain your property and are never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your data through the scOS app, with 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recorded footage, ensuring you have the evidence you need while maintaining absolute digital privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your door—often when it's already too late. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back fence. More importantly, doorbells rarely deter a determined criminal; they just record them. scOS proactively intervenes using AI-driven lights and voice deterrents to stop a crime before the perpetrator even reaches your front door. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection, scOS offers a level of professional-grade security that a consumer doorbell simply cannot match.

Woodbridge is a popular location for second homes and holiday lets, which can be vulnerable when left empty. scOS Presence Simulation is the perfect solution. Unlike simple light timers, our AI learns the actual patterns of life in your home—when lights go on, which rooms are used, and for how long—and replicates them realistically while you're away. This makes the property appear occupied to anyone scouting the area. If someone does approach, the system’s proactive voice and light deterrents will engage, and you’ll receive an instant alert on your phone, no matter where you are in the world.

For properties along the River Deben or near the Thoroughfare, public access is often right on the doorstep. Traditional CCTV often triggers constant false alarms from passers-by. scOS uses advanced AI to automatically detect your property boundary. It ignores people on the public footpath or road and only focuses on those who step onto your private land. The MotionX technology is so precise it can distinguish between a tourist taking a photo of your historic home and someone attempting to find an unlocked window, ensuring you only get alerted when it truly matters.

Woodbridge is home to many beautiful heritage and listed buildings. We understand that aesthetics and structural integrity are paramount. Our professional UK-based installation team is experienced in working with sensitive properties. We use discreet, high-quality wired cameras and ensure that all cabling is hidden or run as unobtrusively as possible. Because scOS can work with almost any brand of camera, we can often select hardware that blends perfectly with your property’s architecture while still providing the elite AI-driven protection that scOS is known for.
