Most CCTV systems are passive; they record footage to a hard drive for you to review after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive AI system that actively works to prevent the crime. Our MotionX technology is a game-changer—it filters out 99% of false alarms caused by wind, animals, or shadows, focusing only on 'important activity' like a person approaching your home. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers automatic lighting to deter the intruder. It’s like having a virtual security guard watching your Broughton home 24/7.

Yes, scOS is designed to be compatible with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, we can integrate your existing cameras into the scOS Intelligence Hub. This transforms your current setup into a proactive AI system without the need for expensive new hardware. We always recommend wired connections over wireless to ensure your security cannot be bypassed by Wi-Fi jammers, providing a robust defence for your North Lincolnshire property.

scOS deters criminals through three intelligent layers. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns when you're out. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they are trying to hide their face with a hood or mask. Third, the system initiates an Active Response, using external speakers to give voice warnings and turning on lights to signal that the intruder has been spotted. This escalating response usually causes criminals to flee before they ever attempt to break in.

We are a 100% UK-based company, and your privacy is our top priority. All data is stored in secure UK-based data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. Unlike many other security brands, we never sell your data to third parties. The scOS Intelligence Hub processes most information locally on your property for maximum speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced features and remote access. You have complete control over your data and who can see your 24/7 recordings.

A video doorbell is a great tool for seeing who is at the door, but it doesn't protect your whole home. scOS provides full-property coverage, monitoring your driveway, side gates, and gardens. While doorbells are reactive—often only alerting you when someone is already at the door—scOS is proactive, detecting and deterring threats at the boundary. For residents in Broughton, where homes often have larger plots or detached garages, scOS offers the comprehensive protection that a single doorbell camera simply cannot provide.

Broughton's location near the M180 and Scunthorpe makes it accessible for 'travelling' criminals who target quiet villages for quick getaways. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs the registration of every vehicle that enters your property. It can cross-reference these with the DVLA database to spot cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. This provides an extra layer of intelligence that helps Humberside Police and keeps your household safe from organised vehicle theft.

Absolutely. scOS is excellent at protecting outbuildings, sheds, and detached garages, which are common in North Lincolnshire villages. Our AI auto-detects these boundaries and can be configured to provide specific alerts if someone approaches your workshop or garage at night. Because we use wired connections, we can ensure a stable and secure link to cameras mounted on outbuildings, providing the same level of proactive protection as your main house.

While Broughton has a lower crime rate than the national average, Humberside Police data shows that property crime remains a persistent concern. Low-crime areas are often targeted because residents may be less likely to have advanced security in place. scOS ensures you aren't an easy target. By using AI to proactively deter intruders, you are not only protecting your own home but also contributing to the overall safety and security of the Broughton community.
