Traditional CCTV is reactive; it records a crime for you to watch later. scOS is proactive, designed to stop the crime before it happens. The difference lies in our MotionX AI, which understands 'important activity.' Unlike standard systems that alert you for every passing cat or swaying branch, MotionX focuses on real threats, offering zero false alarms. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just watch—it acts. It auto-detects your property boundaries and, if an intruder is detected, it uses escalating voice warnings and light responses to drive them away. It’s an active security guard versus a passive camera.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. It works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will integrate your existing cameras with the scOS Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade your current 'dumb' system to a fully intelligent, proactive AI network without the need for a total hardware overhaul. We always recommend wired connections over wireless to ensure your system is immune to the Wi-Fi jamming techniques often used by modern criminals.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent system. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their face. Third is Active Intervention: if someone crosses your boundary, scOS triggers instant lighting and escalating voice warnings via external IoT speakers. This immediate response makes it clear to any intruder that they have been spotted and are being monitored, usually causing them to leave immediately.

Your data security is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data remains yours and is never sold. The scOS Intelligence Hub processes information locally for maximum speed and privacy, only using our secure cloud for advanced AI tasks and remote access. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere via our app.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary and identifying threats before they reach your house. While a doorbell might record a thief, scOS is designed to stop them. With its proactive AI, escalating voice warnings, and ability to monitor side gates and back gardens, scOS offers a comprehensive security solution that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot provide. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a complete security team.

With property crime in Wrawby being a significant concern, protecting your vehicles is vital. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies every car that enters your driveway. It can check registrations against the DVLA database to spot cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. If an unrecognised vehicle arrives at an unusual time, scOS can alert you instantly and even deliver a voice warning to the driver, ensuring your cars are protected long before a thief can get close.

Wrawby is a close-knit village, and we know residents value their privacy. scOS uses person recognition based on behaviour, not biometric facial recognition. This means it can distinguish between family members and strangers based on how they interact with the property, without storing sensitive facial data. It’s a smarter, more privacy-conscious way to know who is on your land. You get the security of knowing who's there without the privacy concerns associated with traditional facial recognition technology.

Absolutely. One of the most innovative parts of scOS is 'scOS Director,' a conversational AI. You can simply ask it questions like, 'Was there anyone in the back garden last night?' or 'Did the delivery arrive at 2 PM?' It will scan your footage and give you a direct answer. This makes managing your home security as simple as having a conversation, removing the need to spend hours scrolling through video clips. It’s perfect for busy Wrawby residents who want instant answers about their home's safety.
