Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Most systems use 'motion masks' that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, but our MotionX technology focuses only on 'important activity.' It recognises human behaviour—detecting people even if they are trying to hide their face or change their shape—and ignores false alarms like wind or animals. Crucially, scOS intervenes. When a threat is detected, it automatically triggers lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder before they reach your home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will evaluate your existing setup. We can often integrate your current cameras into our Intelligence Hub, instantly upgrading them with MotionX detection, presence simulation, and proactive deterrents. This allows Buxton residents to leverage their existing investments while gaining the massive security benefits of our advanced AI platform. We transform your 'dumb' cameras into a proactive, intelligent security network.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone crosses your property boundary—no manual zones or tripwires needed. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is confirmed, the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates instant lighting. This escalating response is designed to deter criminals before they ever touch your property, making scOS a true preventative solution.

Your privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data remains yours and is never sold or shared. Our system uses a 'Local + Cloud' processing model: the Intelligence Hub handles data locally for instant response, while the cloud provides secure, encrypted storage for your 24/7 recordings. You have total control over your footage, which is accessible only to you via our secure app, ensuring complete privacy for your Buxton home.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that usually only alerts you when someone is already at your door. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses AI to detect threats long before they reach the front door and actively intervenes with voice and light deterrents. For Buxton residents, scOS offers a professional-grade security solution that stops crime before it happens, rather than just recording a person at the door.

Buxton's popularity as a tourist destination in the High Peak means many properties are left unoccupied during the day or for longer periods. scOS's Presence Simulation is perfect for these situations; it makes your home look lived-in by mimicking your normal lighting patterns. This is a powerful deterrent against opportunistic thieves who target homes that appear empty. By maintaining a proactive security posture, you ensure that your home remains secure even when you're out exploring the Peak District.

Yes. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the registration plates of vehicles entering your property against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unknown car is seen 'scouting' your home, the system flags it as an anomaly. This is a vital tool for protecting your vehicles in Buxton, providing an extra layer of intelligence that standard cameras cannot offer. It helps you identify potential threats and provides Derbyshire Constabulary with high-quality data if an incident occurs.

scOS is designed to be incredibly user-friendly. You can interact with your system using 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Did anyone come onto the driveway last night?' or 'Show me any suspicious activity from the weekend.' The AI understands natural language and provides instant answers. It’s like having a security guard you can talk to, making it easy for anyone in Buxton to manage their home security without needing technical expertise.
