The scOS Intelligence Hub is the 'brain' of your security system. Unlike traditional DVRs that simply store footage, the Hub uses advanced edge-computing to process video feeds locally in real-time. It runs complex AI models that have been trained on millions of hours of footage to distinguish between human threats, vehicles, and harmless movement like pets or swaying trees. By processing data locally, it ensures lightning-fast response times—triggering lights and voice alerts in milliseconds—while also keeping your data more secure. It connects your cameras to our UK-based cloud for encrypted storage and remote access via our app.

Yes, we provide full professional installation services throughout Patrington and the surrounding Holderness area. Our local engineers are experienced with the specific housing types in the village, from historic cottages near the church to modern detached homes. We don't just 'hang' cameras; we conduct a full security survey to identify blind spots and ensure the AI has the best possible vantage point to protect your perimeter. Most installations are completed within a single day, and we ensure all cabling is discreet and respects the aesthetic of your property.

Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it's happening, leaving you with a video of a masked person stealing your property. scOS is proactive. It is designed to prevent the crime from ever occurring. When the AI detects suspicious behaviour—such as someone loitering or approaching an entry point—it can automatically trigger high-intensity lighting and a clear voice warning. This 'deterrence' phase stops most intruders in their tracks. Furthermore, scOS virtually eliminates the 'false alarm fatigue' common with traditional systems by accurately identifying what is and isn't a threat.

While Patrington has a lower crime rate than urban Hull, its rural nature makes properties targets for opportunistic theft and organised burglary, especially when residents are away. The average police response time of 15 minutes in this region means you cannot rely on a physical response to stop a crime in progress. A system that proactively deters intruders is essential here. Our AI-driven approach provides that immediate 'first line of defence,' effectively acting as a virtual security guard that never sleeps, ensuring your home isn't an easy target.

Absolutely. You can view your live camera feeds, review recorded events, and manage your system settings from anywhere in the world using the scOS app. Whether you're commuting to Hull, shopping in Beverley, or on holiday abroad, you have total control. You'll receive instant, 'smart' notifications—not just 'motion detected,' but 'Person detected at back door.' This allows you to see exactly what's happening in 4K clarity and even use the two-way talk feature to communicate through the camera if needed.

Your privacy and data security are our top priorities. All footage is encrypted using bank-grade protocols both during transmission and while at rest. Unlike many competitors who store data on overseas servers, scOS uses 100% UK-based data centres. This ensures full compliance with UK GDPR regulations. Only you have access to your recordings; even our support staff cannot view your private feeds without your explicit, time-limited permission. We also offer features like 'privacy masking' to black out areas like a neighbour's window or the public street.

The monthly subscription starts from £19 and covers the ongoing 'intelligence' services that make scOS unique. This includes the AI processing power for human and vehicle detection, the DVLA plate checking service, 30 days of secure UK cloud storage, and continuous software updates to improve the AI's accuracy. It also includes our UK-based technical support and a 'lifetime' hardware warranty on the Intelligence Hub as long as your subscription is active. This ensures your system remains at the cutting edge of security technology without becoming obsolete.

We use high-specification 4K (8MP) cameras designed for both day and night performance. These aren't standard 'off-the-shelf' units; they are industrial-grade cameras with enhanced low-light sensors and integrated AI capabilities. They feature infrared night vision for total darkness and white-light LEDs for 'full-colour night vision' when a threat is detected. The cameras are weather-rated (IP67) to withstand the harsh East Yorkshire coastal winds and rain, ensuring they perform reliably year-round in Patrington's climate.

Yes, scOS is highly versatile and works perfectly on everything from traditional brick cottages to modern render finishes. For Patrington's detached houses, we typically recommend a multi-camera setup that covers the main driveway, the front entrance, and any vulnerable side or rear access points. Our installers are experts at routing cables through thick stone or brick walls and can even use wireless bridge technology for outbuildings like garages or stables, ensuring your entire property is covered by the AI's protective umbrella.

A standard installation for a residential property in Patrington usually takes between 4 and 6 hours. This includes the physical mounting of the cameras, installing the Intelligence Hub, running all necessary cabling (discreetly hidden where possible), and configuring the AI software. Once the hardware is in place, our engineer will spend time with you to set up the app on your phone, configure your 'active' zones, and show you how to use the system's proactive features. We don't leave until you feel completely confident in operating your new security system.
