Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records events, often leaving you with footage of a crime after it's happened. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime before it occurs. The main difference is our MotionX technology, which uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' like human movement, while ignoring false triggers like animals or wind. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't require manual motion masks; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action with escalating deterrents, including lights and voice warnings, to stop intruders before they can enter your home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. Our Intelligence Hub can integrate with your existing cameras, upgrading them with our advanced AI features like MotionX and presence simulation. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure it's compatible. This means you can get the benefits of a cutting-edge AI security system without having to replace all your existing hardware, as long as your cameras are wired for reliability.

scOS uses a three-layer approach to deter criminals effectively. First, Presence Simulation mimics your home's normal activity patterns when you're away, making it look like someone is always home. Second, our MotionX AI detects human threats the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they're wearing masks or trying to hide. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS triggers external lights and delivers clear voice warnings through IoT speakers. These warnings inform the intruder that they've been spotted and are being monitored, which is usually enough to make them flee immediately.

We take your privacy and data security very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI analysis locally on your property. Only when a significant event or threat is detected is the data sent to our secure cloud for your review. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers a small area around your front door and often alerts you too late. scOS is a proactive, whole-property security system that monitors your entire boundary. It's designed to stop intruders before they even reach your house. While a doorbell might show you someone at your door, scOS uses presence simulation and active voice deterrents to prevent them from even stepping onto your property. It provides a much higher level of security, ensuring your entire home is protected 24/7 with professional-grade AI.

In the heart of North Devon, Woolfardisworthy is a peaceful retreat, but its isolation can make it a target for high-value rural theft, such as farm equipment or vehicles. scOS is designed to provide a 24/7 proactive shield for your property, using presence simulation to make your home look occupied even when you're miles away. This is particularly effective in isolated areas where a criminal might otherwise feel they have plenty of time to carry out a theft undisturbed.

In rural villages like Woolfardisworthy, police response times can be longer than in urban areas. This makes proactive deterrence even more critical. scOS is designed to be your first line of defence, using escalating responses to drive intruders away before they can do any damage. By the time an intruder hears the AI voice warning and sees the lights flash, they know they've been spotted and are being monitored, which is usually enough to make them leave immediately, providing you with peace of mind even in a remote location.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that lets you interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask it questions like, 'Was there any unusual activity last night?' or 'Did the delivery driver come today?' It can even provide specific details about people or vehicles it has detected. For Woolfardisworthy residents, this means you can stay informed about your home's security quickly and easily, without having to watch hours of footage. It’s a smart, intuitive way to manage your security and get the information you need instantly.
