scOS transforms security from a passive witness into an active guardian. Traditional CCTV simply records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage of a masked intruder that rarely leads to a conviction. Our system uses MotionX technology, which ignores irrelevant movement like wind or animals and focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It doesn't require you to draw complex motion masks; it understands your property boundaries automatically. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes with light and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between having a video of a burglary and preventing one entirely. Because we focus on behaviour rather than just pixels, we eliminate the false alarms that plague older systems, ensuring that when you get an alert, it actually matters.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI-powered network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes between 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX detection and proactive deterrent features without the need for a total hardware overhaul. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security while leveraging the investment you have already made in your home's infrastructure. If your current cameras are outdated or wireless, we can also provide high-specification wired replacements that are immune to the signal jamming often used by modern burglars.

scOS employs a multi-layered proactive strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage of an attempted break-in. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your typical home activity patterns and replicate them when you’re away, making your home look occupied to anyone scouting the street. If a criminal does approach, our MotionX intelligence identifies them instantly, even if they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their silhouette. Unlike basic sensors, it won't be fooled by shadows or pets. Once a threat is confirmed, the system triggers an escalating response: external IoT speakers deliver clear voice warnings while smart lighting illuminates the area. This immediate, intelligent intervention signals to the intruder that they have been spotted by a sophisticated system, usually causing them to flee immediately. We don't just record the crime; we make your home an unattractive and high-risk target.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy-first' approach to home intelligence. Unlike many competitors who send all your footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and then securely backed up to our UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data remains yours and is never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure app. By keeping the intelligence local and the storage within the UK, we ensure the fastest possible response times for our AI while maintaining the highest standards of data sovereignty and protection for your family's privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your door; scOS is a proactive intelligence system that protects your entire property. While doorbells often suffer from 'notification fatigue' due to false alarms and only cover a narrow field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary. Our MotionX technology distinguishes between a delivery driver and someone scouting your side windows or garage. Furthermore, doorbells rarely deter a determined criminal who is already at your threshold. scOS intervenes much earlier, using voice warnings and light responses to stop an intruder before they even reach your door. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from ever stepping onto your driveway. It is a comprehensive security solution rather than a simple digital peephole.

Chapeltown and High Green’s proximity to the M1 makes it a prime area for opportunistic burglars who use the motorway for a quick escape. scOS is designed to counter this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition. The system logs every vehicle that enters your property and checks for cloned plates or suspicious registrations. By identifying these vehicles the moment they pull onto your drive, scOS can trigger an immediate deterrent response, letting criminals know they've been spotted before they even get out of the car.

For the many Sheffield commuters living in Chapeltown and High Green, our Presence Simulation is an essential feature. It uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns—like when lights are used or when certain rooms are occupied—and replicates them while you're at work. This makes your home look lived-in and active, which is the most effective way to deter burglars who scout residential areas during the day. It’s a far more sophisticated and realistic solution than simple light timers.
