Standard CCTV is a passive tool that only records events, often leaving you with nothing but footage of a crime after it has happened. In Bedlington, where property crime rates are higher than the national average, you need a system that acts. scOS uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—ignoring wind, animals, and shadows—to focus on genuine threats. Unlike traditional systems that require complex manual setup, scOS auto-detects your property boundaries and responds instantly with lights and voice warnings. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard that actively prevents intruders from ever reaching your door.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can breathe new life into your existing wired IP cameras. Whether you have Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, or other professional brands, our Intelligence Hub can integrate them into our AI ecosystem. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will ensure your current setup is optimised for our proactive protection features. This allows Bedlington homeowners to upgrade to world-class AI security without the expense of replacing all their existing hardware, providing a cost-effective way to secure your home against local crime.

scOS uses a powerful three-tier approach to deterrence. First is 'Presence Simulation,' which uses AI to mimic human activity inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're out at the shops or away on holiday. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour with zero false alarms, even if an intruder is wearing a mask or hood. Finally, if someone enters your property, scOS triggers an 'Escalating Response'—using instant lighting and authoritative voice deterrents from external IoT speakers. This proactive intervention is designed to make criminals choose an easier target long before they attempt to enter your home.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is processed and stored within secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid approach where the scOS Intelligence Hub processes data locally on your property for immediate response, only using the cloud for secure remote access and advanced analytics. Your footage is yours alone; we never sell data to third parties. You have complete control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, giving you peace of mind that your Bedlington home is protected without compromising your privacy.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and often reacts too late, only alerting you once someone is already pressing the button. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, detecting intruders the moment they step onto your land. While doorbells are often plagued by false alarms from passing traffic on Bedlington's busy streets, our MotionX technology ignores irrelevant motion to focus on real threats. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it actively deters with lights and voice warnings, stopping crime before it starts, whereas a doorbell merely records the person who might be about to break in.

With Bedlington's property crime rate sitting above the national average, a proactive system is essential. scOS is specifically built to handle high-activity areas without 'notification fatigue.' Our MotionX AI is trained to recognise suspicious patterns, such as someone 'casing' a property or hiding their face, which are common precursors to local burglaries. By providing an immediate, escalating response—from lights to voice warnings—scOS creates a hostile environment for criminals, significantly reducing the likelihood of your home being targeted in a high-crime postcode.

Yes, scOS includes 'Covered Face Detection' as a core feature. Our AI is trained to recognise suspicious concealment, such as hoods, balaclavas, or masks, even in low-light conditions. In areas like Bedlington, where intruders may attempt to hide their identity, scOS flags this behaviour as a high-priority anomaly. The system can then immediately trigger its escalating response protocols, ensuring that even if a criminal thinks they are hidden, the system knows they are there and takes active steps to deter them from proceeding further.

scOS is installed by our professional UK-based engineering team in a single day, typically taking between 4 and 6 hours. We prioritise a 'wired over wireless' approach, ensuring your system is immune to the WiFi jamming techniques that some modern burglars use. Our team handles everything from the Intelligence Hub setup to the integration of external IoT speakers and any existing cameras. We ensure the system is perfectly calibrated for your Bedlington property's specific layout, providing you with a robust, professional-grade security solution that works flawlessly from the moment we leave.
