Traditional CCTV is a passive observer, recording events for you to watch after the damage is done. scOS is an active participant in your home's security. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which eliminates the 'false alarm' fatigue common with standard systems. Instead of triggering for every bird or gust of wind, MotionX identifies 'important activity'—specifically human movement and vehicle patterns. It doesn't require you to draw complex motion masks; it understands your property boundaries automatically. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with light and voice deterrents, stopping intruders in their tracks. It’s a shift from documenting crime to actively preventing it.

Yes, scOS is designed to be highly compatible with existing security infrastructure. If you have a professional, wired IP camera system (such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink), we can usually integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This 'brand-agnostic' approach allows us to upgrade your current 'dumb' cameras into a fully intelligent AI network. During our 4-6 hour professional installation, our UK-based engineers will verify your hardware and ensure everything is optimised for scOS. By using your existing wired cameras, you benefit from a high-end AI upgrade without the cost of a full hardware replacement, while maintaining the reliability of wired connections over easily-jammed wireless alternatives.

scOS deters criminals through three distinct layers of AI-driven protection. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your household's typical lighting and activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the home look occupied to any scout. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies human threats even if they attempt to hide their face or figure. Third is Active Intervention. If an intruder crosses your boundary, scOS triggers an escalating response, starting with powerful external lighting and followed by AI-generated voice warnings from external IoT speakers. These warnings inform the intruder they are being monitored, which is almost always enough to make them abandon their attempt immediately.

We take data sovereignty very seriously. scOS is 100% UK-based, meaning all your data is stored in secure UK data centres and managed in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many competitors, we never sell or share your data with third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes video locally at your home to identify threats, and only escalates relevant data to our secure cloud for your review and storage. You have 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recorded footage, ensuring you have the evidence you need while maintaining total control over your family's privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only monitors a small area around your front door. By the time a doorbell alerts you, a criminal is already at your entrance. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary and detecting threats long before they reach the house. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. With features like presence simulation and proactive voice deterrents, scOS offers a professional-grade security solution that far exceeds the limited, often delayed notifications of a standard video doorbell.

Barwick in Elmet is a safe village, but low crime rates can often lead to a false sense of security, making residents targets for 'creeper' burglaries. scOS is designed to combat this complacency by providing a silent, 24/7 digital guard. Our system doesn't need to be 'armed' like a traditional alarm; it is always learning and watching. By using presence simulation, your home looks active even if you're out for dinner at the Gascoigne Arms, ensuring you don't become the one 'easy' target on a quiet street. It’s about maintaining the village's peace by being prepared for the unexpected.

The secluded lanes and historic properties in Barwick can be difficult to monitor with traditional sensors. scOS solves this with MotionX, which is specifically designed to work in complex outdoor environments. It ignores the movement of trees or shadows in the village's many gardens and focuses purely on human activity. Whether someone is approaching from a dark side lane or through a back garden, scOS will detect them. Our professional installers ensure that the AI boundary detection is perfectly calibrated to your property's unique layout, providing total coverage without the annoyance of false alerts.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' or 'Did a delivery van arrive this morning?' It can even identify specific vehicles using DVLA recognition. For a busy resident in Barwick, this means you can stay informed about your home's security in seconds. It’s like having a security guard who has watched every second of footage and can give you an instant, accurate report whenever you ask.
