Traditional CCTV is passive; it only provides evidence after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive AI system that uses MotionX technology to detect 'important activity'—like a person lurking or approaching a window—while ignoring false alarms from pets, wind, or shadows. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes. Using external IoT speakers and automated lighting, it challenges intruders the moment they cross your property boundary. For residents in Boston Spa, this means your home is actively defended 24/7, stopping potential burglars before they can cause any damage.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will integrate your existing cameras with our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your current 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network capable of MotionX detection and proactive deterrents. It’s a great way for Boston Spa homeowners to upgrade to state-of-the-art AI security without the need for a completely new hardware setup, provided your existing cameras meet the necessary technical standards.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns when you're away—essential for the quiet streets of Boston Spa. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour instantly, even if an intruder is masked. Third is Active Intervention: if a boundary is crossed, external IoT speakers deliver AI voice warnings and lights flash to signal that the intruder has been spotted. This escalating response removes the anonymity criminals rely on, making your home a much less attractive target.

Privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike many other brands, we never sell your data. Our system uses a 'Local + Cloud' approach: the Intelligence Hub processes data locally for instant response and privacy, while the cloud provides secure backup and remote access. You have full control over your recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks, ensuring your Boston Spa property is monitored securely and your personal data remains private.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your boundaries, side gates, and gardens. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the intruder before they even reach your door. Furthermore, scOS uses professional wired connections that are much more reliable and harder to jam than the WiFi signals used by most doorbells. For Boston Spa residents, scOS offers a comprehensive security solution that protects the entire home, not just the entrance.

While Boston Spa has a lower crime rate than the national average, affluent areas can often be targeted for high-value burglaries. Complacency is a criminal's best friend. scOS ensures you stay protected by providing a high-tech deterrent that is far more effective than a standard alarm. Our Presence Simulation is particularly useful here, as it makes your home look active even when you're dining out or away on holiday, preventing your property from standing out as an empty target. It’s about maintaining that peace of mind that Boston Spa is known for.

We understand that many homes in Boston Spa are aesthetically beautiful, and you don't want bulky equipment ruining the look. Our professional UK installation team is trained to install cameras and IoT speakers as discreetly as possible. We use wired connections for reliability, but we ensure that cabling is hidden and the hardware blends into your home's architecture. Because scOS works with a wide range of camera brands, we can often select hardware that is both powerful and visually unobtrusive, maintaining your home's kerb appeal while providing world-class security.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is perfect for spotting 'scouting' vehicles. The system reads number plates and checks them against the DVLA database to confirm the vehicle's make and model. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unknown registration lingers near your property, scOS can alert you immediately. This allows you to be aware of potential threats before they even step out of their car, providing an extra layer of intelligence for your West Yorkshire home and helping to keep the whole community safer.
