Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is proactive. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, the system identifies 'important activity' rather than just simple motion. This means it ignores wind, cobwebs, and animals, focusing only on genuine threats like people or vehicles. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS works out of the box, automatically detecting your property boundaries and intervening with lights and voice warnings to stop a crime before it happens.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. Our professional UK installation team will assess your current setup during the single-day install process. We transform your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network by connecting them to our scOS Intelligence Hub, which provides the AI processing power needed to modernise your existing security infrastructure without needing to replace every camera.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics human activity patterns inside your home to make it appear occupied even when you're away. Second, MotionX detection identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary, even if an intruder is masked or crawling. Third, the system triggers Active Intervention: instant illumination and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. This proactive approach is designed to make an intruder feel 'watched' and 'identified,' forcing them to flee before they attempt a break-in.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring your footage remains your property. Our system uses a hybrid approach: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes data locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. We never sell your data to third parties, and you have total control over who can view your feeds.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that usually only covers your front door and alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, detects threats long before they reach the door, and uses AI to intervene automatically. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway, providing a much higher level of protection for your entire home.

Barlby's growth as a commuter village means many homes are empty during the day. scOS Presence Simulation is a game-changer here. It doesn't just use simple timers; it learns your actual internal lighting and activity patterns and replicates them when you're away. To an observer outside, it looks like someone is home, moving between rooms and using the house normally, which is the single most effective way to deter burglars from choosing your property.

North Yorkshire Police often highlight the importance of clear evidence. scOS provides 24/7 high-definition recording with up to two weeks of footage stored securely. Because our MotionX AI filters out false alarms, finding 'important activity' is instant. You can use the scOS Director AI to search your footage using natural language, such as 'Show me any vans that parked outside yesterday,' making it easy to provide the police with exactly what they need.

Yes. scOS is designed to be future-proof. We can integrate with your existing smart home devices, such as external lighting and IoT speakers, to create a unified security ecosystem. During our professional installation in Barlby, we'll ensure that all components work together to provide the most effective proactive deterrent for your specific property layout.
