Standard CCTV is a passive tool that records footage for you to look at after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' in real-time. It ignores false alarms like pets or wind and automatically detects your property boundaries without any manual setup. Most importantly, scOS intervenes when a threat is detected, using lights and voice warnings to stop intruders before they can break in.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. It works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have a wired system at your Armthorpe home, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with it, upgrading your existing cameras with our advanced AI and proactive deterrent features. Our professional UK installers will handle the integration during a single-day setup.

scOS uses a three-stage proactive approach. First, 'Presence Simulation' mimics your daily activity patterns inside the home to make it look occupied while you're away. Second, MotionX AI identifies anyone entering your property, even if they are wearing a mask. Third, the system triggers an escalating response: instant lighting followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate intervention is designed to drive criminals away before they reach your home.

Your data is handled with the highest level of security. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your footage is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data is never sold or shared. Processing is done locally on your Intelligence Hub for privacy, with secure cloud access so you can view your 24/7 recordings from the last 14 days from anywhere in the world.

Video doorbells are reactive and only cover a small area near your door; they are also vulnerable to WiFi jamming. scOS is a hardwired, whole-property solution that cannot be jammed. While a doorbell tells you someone is at the door, scOS detects threats at your boundary and uses active deterrents to stop them from ever getting close to your home, providing much more robust protection for Armthorpe residents.

Armthorpe's proximity to major transport links can unfortunately make it a target for vehicle thieves. scOS features DVLA-integrated vehicle recognition, which checks the registration of any car entering your driveway against official databases. If the system detects a vehicle with cloned plates or one that doesn't belong, it alerts you immediately, providing a critical layer of defence for your cars and property.

Yes, scOS is equipped with 'Covered Face Detection.' If the AI identifies an individual on your property whose face is obscured by a hood, mask, or balaclava, it immediately recognises this as suspicious behaviour. The system will then initiate its escalating response, using lights and voice warnings to alert the intruder that they have been spotted, which is a highly effective deterrent against professional criminals.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask questions like, 'Director, were there any delivery vans here today?' or 'Was there any activity in the garden overnight?' The AI will quickly analyse your footage and give you a summary, saving you the time and hassle of manually checking hours of video.
