Traditional CCTV is passive—it records what happens so you can review footage afterward. scOS is proactive. Our AI-powered Intelligence Hub watches your cameras continuously, detecting suspicious behaviour in real-time. When a threat is detected, scOS automatically responds within seconds through multiple layers: Presence Simulation (lights, sounds, movement), MotionX intervention (lights, sounds, and speaker messages), and direct alerts to your phone and security team. While your current system might capture a theft on video, scOS stops it from happening in the first place.

Yes. scOS works with most wired IP cameras already installed in homes and businesses. You don't need to rip out your existing infrastructure. Simply install the Intelligence Hub—a small device that connects to your network—and connect your cameras to it. If you don't have cameras yet, our professional installation team can help you set up the complete system. We support a wide range of camera brands and models, making the transition to intelligent security simple and cost-effective.

scOS uses three powerful layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation makes an empty home appear occupied—randomised lights turn on and off, creating the illusion someone's home. Second, MotionX automatically activates lights and audio messages the moment a threat is detected, startling intruders and making them think they've been caught. Third, Active Intervention sends real-time alerts to your phone and our 24/7 security team, who can take immediate action. Criminals want easy targets. scOS makes your property the hardest one on the block.

Your footage and data are stored in UK data centres with military-grade encryption, ensuring your privacy is protected. scOS is fully GDPR compliant and meets UK data protection regulations. All footage is your property—you retain complete control over who can access it. Your personal data is never shared with third parties for marketing or any other purpose. We take privacy seriously because security and privacy go hand in hand.

Video doorbells show you who's at your door, but by then it's often too late—a criminal is already on your property. scOS monitors your entire home and detects threats before they reach your door. Whilst a doorbell is reactive, scOS is preventative. It doesn't just record intruders; it actively deters them with lights, sounds, and alerts. Plus, scOS covers your whole property—gardens, driveways, and perimeters—not just your front entrance. If you want to know who visited, a doorbell works. If you want to stop crime before it starts, scOS is essential.

Your cameras continue to record locally on the Intelligence Hub, so you still have video footage of what happens. However, the AI features that make scOS powerful—real-time threat detection, automatic deterrence, and alerts—require an internet connection to function. Once your connection is restored, the system automatically resumes full operation and you'll receive any alerts that occurred during the outage. For Worthing properties, having scOS's prevention layer active 24/7 normally means you're protected against the majority of crimes before they happen.

Both options are available. If you're tech-confident and have basic networking knowledge, you can self-install the Intelligence Hub and configure your cameras. However, many Worthing homeowners prefer our professional installation service—our team handles everything from camera placement optimisation to network configuration, ensuring your system is set up for maximum coverage and protection. Professional installation also includes training on the app and features. Choose what works best for you.

scOS detects and responds in seconds. When our AI identifies suspicious behaviour—someone loitering, attempting entry, or breaking in—the system immediately activates deterrence measures and alerts you and our 24/7 team. In Worthing, where package theft and burglaries are concerns for many residents, this speed is critical. Every second counts during a break-in, and scOS's intelligent automation means help arrives fast.

Absolutely. Properties in coastal areas and near Worthing Pier face unique challenges—high foot traffic, tourists, and variable weather. scOS is designed to handle all these conditions. Our cameras are weather-resistant and built for coastal environments. The AI learns what's normal for your area, distinguishing between casual foot traffic and genuine threats. Whether your property is beachfront, in town centre, or residential, scOS adapts to your specific security needs.

scOS pricing is simple: per-camera costs starting from just 63p per day. The Intelligence Hub is installed once at your property and powers all your cameras—you only pay for each camera you connect. Whether you have 2 cameras or 10, you're only charged per camera. No hidden fees based on property size or subscription tiers. See our pricing page for current rates and find the perfect plan for your Worthing home.

Yes, scOS is ideal for holiday lets and short-term rentals. Whether you're managing a property on Airbnb or short-term rental platforms, scOS provides continuous protection even when guests are staying. You can grant temporary access to guests through the app, maintain 24/7 monitoring, and receive alerts about any suspicious activity. The Intelligence Hub can be managed by multiple users, making it perfect for property managers handling multiple Worthing rental properties.
