Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to intervene. Most systems use basic motion detection that triggers for every passing animal or swaying branch, leading to 'notification fatigue.' Our MotionX technology is different; it focuses only on 'important activity,' recognising people even if they are disguised or moving unusually. Unlike other systems, scOS doesn't require you to manually draw zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it uses external IoT speakers and automated lighting to warn the intruder off. It’s an active security presence that works to prevent the crime from happening in the first place.

scOS is designed to be highly compatible and can often breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have wired IP cameras from major brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional installation—which takes about 4-6 hours—our UK-based engineers will assess your setup. By linking your current cameras to the scOS Hub, you gain access to our advanced AI features like MotionX, DVLA vehicle recognition, and scOS Director without needing to replace every camera. This makes upgrading to a world-class, proactive security system both efficient and cost-effective for your Berwick home.

We use a three-tiered approach to make your home an unattractive target. First is Presence Simulation: scOS learns your typical internal activity and mimics it when you're away, making your home look lived-in. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies genuine threats at your boundary instantly, ignoring the Northumbrian winds and wildlife. Third is Active Intervention: if someone lingers, the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers bright lights. This escalating response tells the intruder they are being monitored by an intelligent system, not just a camera, which is usually enough to make them leave immediately.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, meaning your data never leaves the country and is protected by strict UK GDPR regulations. Your Intelligence Hub processes data locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for storage and remote access. We never sell your data. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks. Whether you're at home in Berwick or travelling, you can access your system with the confidence that your data is secure, private, and entirely under your control.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive protection for your entire property, including gardens and side entrances. While a doorbell is reactive—relying on you to see a notification and act—scOS is proactive. It detects threats at the boundary and intervenes automatically with lights and voice deterrents. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and presence simulation, scOS offers a level of intelligence and prevention that a simple doorbell camera cannot match. It’s the difference between seeing a package thief and stopping them from entering your property at all.

Berwick's position on the A1 corridor makes it a transit point for vehicles from across the UK. scOS features integrated DVLA vehicle recognition that checks registrations against the national database. This is vital for spotting 'out of town' vehicles that may be scouting residential areas. The system can identify cloned plates or vehicles that have been seen loitering near your property. You can ask scOS Director, 'What vehicles have been near the house today?' to get a clear picture of activity, providing an essential layer of security for a border town.

Berwick is known for its bracing North Sea weather. Traditional motion sensors often fail in high winds or heavy rain, leading to constant false alarms. scOS MotionX is built to handle these conditions. It uses advanced AI to filter out environmental motion like swaying trees, rain, or sea mist, focusing only on 'important activity' like human movement. This ensures that your system remains reliable and your notifications remain meaningful, even during a Northumbrian storm. Our professional installation also ensures all external components are weather-proofed for the coastal climate.

Yes, scOS is perfect for the varied property types in Berwick, from historic townhouses to modern detached homes. Because scOS uses AI to automatically detect property boundaries, it doesn't matter if your garden is an irregular shape or if you have shared access. The system learns what is your land and monitors it proactively. You don't need to be a tech expert to set it up; our professional installers handle everything in a single day, ensuring your entire property is protected without you having to draw a single 'tripwire' on a screen.
