Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, often too late to do anything. scOS is an active participant in your home's security, powered by our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that trigger alerts for every swaying branch or passing cat, MotionX ignores the 'noise' and focuses exclusively on important activity. It recognises human movement even if someone is trying to hide their shape or cover their face, and because it understands your property boundaries automatically, there are no complex 'zones' to set up. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it intervenes with lights and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. Our Intelligence Hub is designed to transform 'dumb' cameras into an elite AI-driven network. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, we can usually integrate them directly into the scOS ecosystem. During our professional UK-based installation—which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By layering our AI intelligence over your existing infrastructure, you get the full suite of scOS features, including MotionX detection and proactive deterrents, without the need for a complete hardware overhaul. It’s a cost-effective way to upgrade to the UK’s most advanced home intelligence system.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal touches your property. The first layer is Presence Simulation; our AI learns your typical internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you’re away. If a trespasser does approach, our MotionX technology instantly identifies them as a threat, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or hood. This triggers the second layer: Active Intervention. Your external IoT speakers deliver clear AI voice warnings while your security lights provide instant illumination. Finally, we use an Escalating Response; if the intruder persists, the system ramps up its deterrents. This proactive stance is designed to make your home the most difficult and unattractive target on the street, stopping crime in its tracks.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed through a hybrid model: our Intelligence Hub handles immediate AI analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, while more complex tasks are escalated to our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your personal information or footage with third parties. You have total control over your data, with 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings via our secure app. We believe that your security system should protect your privacy just as much as it protects your physical property, ensuring your peace of mind remains absolute.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they’ve already rung it or tried the handle. scOS is a proactive, whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, from the back fence to the driveway. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop the crime from happening. A doorbell might show you a package being stolen, but scOS uses AI to detect the person approaching your driveway and deters them with voice warnings before they ever reach your porch. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection, scOS provides a level of professional-grade security that a consumer-grade doorbell simply cannot match.

Wragby's position on the A158 means many properties are visible to a high volume of passing traffic. scOS features integrated DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies every car that enters your property. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unknown registration pulls up, scOS flags it instantly. This is a vital tool for identifying 'scouting' behaviour from opportunistic criminals who may be passing through the village. It provides an extra layer of intelligence that helps protect your home and vehicles from sophisticated modern thieves.

In rural areas like Wragby, traditional security systems are often plagued by false alarms caused by wildlife or swaying trees. Our MotionX technology is specifically engineered to ignore these 'false positives.' It focuses purely on 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour and vehicle movements. This means when your phone pings with an alert, you know it’s something that actually requires your attention, not just another fox or a gust of wind from the Wolds. This reliability is why scOS is the trusted choice for rural residents who want security without the constant annoyance of phantom alerts.

scOS is designed to be as simple or as detailed as you want it to be. Our 'scOS Director' is a conversational AI that allows you to ask natural questions about your home. If you're out for the day in Lincoln or the Wolds, you can simply ask your phone, 'Has anyone been to the house today?' or 'Is the driveway clear?' The AI will give you a summary of activity in plain English. It’s like having a security guard you can talk to at any time, providing you with instant information without having to scroll through hours of footage.
