Standard CCTV systems in Nottinghamshire are typically passive, meaning they only record footage for you to look at after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that aims to stop the crime from happening in the first place. The heart of our system is MotionX, which uses advanced AI to distinguish between 'important activity' (like a person approaching your home) and irrelevant motion (like wind-blown debris or animals). Unlike traditional systems, scOS doesn't require you to set up complex motion zones; it automatically learns your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it reacts with escalating light and voice deterrents to scare off intruders before they can cause any damage.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. If you already have a wired system installed at your Bilsthorpe property, our engineers can likely integrate it with our Intelligence Hub during our professional 4-6 hour installation process. This hub acts as the 'brain' of your security, adding AI capabilities to your existing 'dumb' cameras. This is a cost-effective way to upgrade to the highest level of home intelligence without needing to replace all your hardware, though we will always perform a full compatibility check during the installation.

scOS uses three layers of intelligent deterrence. The first is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns when you're away. The second is our MotionX detection, which accurately identifies human threats even if they are trying to hide their face or change their silhouette. The third layer is Active Intervention. When the AI detects an intruder crossing your property boundary, it triggers an escalating response: first, bright lights to eliminate shadows, followed by clear, AI-driven voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, proactive response is designed to make criminals feel they have been caught in the act, usually resulting in them leaving the property immediately.

Your data privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK-based data centres in full compliance with GDPR regulations. We use a hybrid processing model where our Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI analysis locally on your property. Only when an important event is detected is the data escalated to our secure cloud for your access. We never sell your data or footage to third parties. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, ensuring your Bilsthorpe home is protected by a system that respects your privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS is a comprehensive, property-wide intelligence system. It monitors your entire boundary—front, back, and sides—and uses proactive AI to stop intruders before they even reach your door. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS would have detected the person entering your driveway and used voice deterrents to prevent the theft. For Bilsthorpe residents, scOS offers a much higher level of protection by securing the whole property, not just the entrance.

Bilsthorpe’s rural setting means traditional motion sensors are often plagued by false alarms from foxes, badgers, or wind in the trees. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to solve this. It ignores all non-human motion, focusing only on 'important activity.' This means you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a cat crossing your garden. The system is smart enough to recognise a person even if they are crawling or wearing a balaclava, ensuring that when you do get an alert, it’s something you actually need to know about.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition. This allows the system to identify any vehicle that enters your property by its registration plate, checking it against the DVLA database to flag potential issues like cloned plates. You can also use our scOS Director AI to ask questions like 'What time did the white van arrive?' or 'Has my daughter's car come home yet?' This provides an extra layer of security for your vehicles and gives you a clear record of all vehicular activity around your Bilsthorpe home.
