Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records footage that you might use to identify a criminal after the fact. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. It uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—meaning it ignores spiders, wind, and pets to focus on actual human threats. Unlike traditional systems that require you to draw 'zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder in their tracks, providing a level of security that passive recording simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you already have a wired IP camera system (such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink), our professional UK installers can usually integrate it with the scOS Intelligence Hub. During the 4-6 hour installation process at your Clayhanger home, we will assess your existing hardware and transform it into a proactive AI system. This allows you to benefit from our advanced detection and deterrence features without needing to replace all your current cameras.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to deterrence. First, Presence Simulation mimics your household's activity patterns while you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders even if they are wearing masks or hoods, ensuring no threat is missed. Third, the system uses active intervention: if someone crosses your boundary, scOS triggers external lights and delivers authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to let the intruder know they have been spotted, forcing them to leave before they can attempt a break-in.

Your data security is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Most of the processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub, and only critical events are sent to our secure cloud. We never sell your data to third parties, and you have complete control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell only monitors a small area around your front door and is often reactive—alerting you only after someone has already arrived. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary, including driveways, side gates, and gardens. More importantly, scOS is proactive; it uses lights and voice warnings to deter criminals the moment they step onto your property, stopping them before they ever reach your door, whereas a doorbell usually just records the interaction.

Clayhanger has a higher property crime rate than many surrounding villages, making proactive security essential. scOS is specifically designed to stop crimes like burglary and vehicle theft before they happen. By using active deterrents like voice warnings and lights, scOS makes your home a 'hard target,' encouraging opportunistic criminals to move on to an easier, less protected property.

Yes. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the number plates of any car entering your driveway against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unrecognised car is detected, the system can alert you immediately. This is a vital feature for Clayhanger residents concerned about the rise in sophisticated vehicle-related crime in the region.

scOS is built for real-world conditions. Our MotionX technology is trained to recognise people regardless of how they are moving or what they are wearing. If the system detects someone with a covered face—such as a balaclava or a pulled-up hood—it flags this as highly suspicious behaviour and can trigger an immediate escalating response, ensuring that even the most prepared intruders are deterred.
