Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune for later review. scOS transforms your security into an active deterrent using MotionX technology, which distinguishes between 'important activity'—like a person lurking near your outbuildings—and irrelevant motion like swaying trees or foxes. Unlike standard systems that rely on easily bypassed motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries. It doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automated lighting and voice warnings the moment a genuine threat is detected, ensuring you aren't just documenting a crime, but preventing one entirely.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can turn your existing 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes just 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our advanced MotionX and vehicle recognition layers without the need for a total system overhaul.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-tier deterrent strategy. Firstly, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking natural human activity patterns inside, which is the most effective way to discourage 'casing.' Secondly, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary, even if the intruder is wearing a mask or hood. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system initiates an escalating response: instant illumination followed by clear, authoritative warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach stops criminals long before they reach your front door.

We take a 'privacy-first' approach to your security. Your data is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub before being securely escalated to our UK-based data centres. We are 100% UK-owned and operated, ensuring full GDPR compliance and that your private footage never leaves the country. Unlike many smart home brands, scOS will never sell your data to third parties. You retain total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you someone is already at your door, which is often too late. scOS provides comprehensive property intelligence that covers your entire perimeter, including driveways and gardens. While a doorbell might capture a package thief in the act, scOS uses proactive AI to detect and deter an intruder the moment they step onto your land. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a virtual security guard who never sleeps.

With Blyth's property crime rate significantly higher than the national average, passive recording isn't enough. scOS uses escalating responses to stop intruders. If someone enters your property, the system first illuminates the area. If they persist, external IoT speakers deliver AI-driven voice warnings. This immediate, autonomous intervention is designed to drive criminals away before they can cause damage or gain entry, providing the robust protection Blyth residents need.

Blyth's proximity to the A1 makes it a target for transient criminals using cloned plates. Our system features DVLA-linked vehicle recognition that automatically checks every registration entering your property against the national database. If a suspicious or cloned plate is detected, scOS alerts you instantly, allowing you to take action before a theft occurs. This is a critical tool for protecting vehicles and property near major transport hubs.

MotionX is revolutionary because it doesn't just look for motion; it looks for 'important activity.' It can recognise a person even if they are trying to hide their face with a mask or hood, or if they are crawling to avoid detection. In an area like Blyth where crime rates are higher, this level of sophisticated detection ensures that genuine threats are identified and acted upon immediately, with zero false alarms from wind or animals.
