Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch the footage later, which rarely leads to a conviction. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that monitors your property in real-time. At its core is MotionX, our revolutionary activity detection technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on 'motion masks' and are constantly triggered by swaying trees, spiders, or rain, MotionX focuses only on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or what they are wearing, effectively eliminating false alarms. When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record; it intervenes automatically with light and voice responses to deter the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a highly intelligent security 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 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX AI and proactive deterrent features to your current setup. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI protection without the need to replace every piece of hardware on your Clayton West or Scissett property, provided the cameras meet the necessary technical standards for high-quality video feed.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals before they even attempt a break-in. The first layer is Presence Simulation; the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary—even if the intruder is wearing a mask or hood. The final layer is Active Intervention. If a threat is detected, scOS triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination from external lights and progresses to clear voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By making it clear to the intruder that they have been spotted and that the home is 'intelligent,' scOS removes the element of surprise and forces them to move on.

We take your privacy and data security incredibly seriously. Unlike many home security companies that outsource their data management, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully compliant with GDPR regulations. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub processes video locally on your property for immediate response, and only escalates to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell your information or footage to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your front door, often after they've already pressed the button or attempted to enter. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including side gates, gardens, and driveways. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens. A doorbell might record a package thief, but scOS will detect that person the moment they step onto your driveway and use voice deterrents to warn them off before they ever reach the door. It’s a comprehensive security ecosystem that offers proactive protection for your entire Clayton West or Scissett home, rather than just a single entry point.

West Yorkshire has seen specific trends in residential burglary, often involving thieves targeting high-value vehicles or entering through rear gardens. scOS is designed to counter these specific threats. Our MotionX AI is particularly effective at spotting 'prowling' behaviour—someone lingering or checking handles—even in the dark or if they are trying to hide their face. By detecting this activity at the boundary, scOS can trigger an immediate voice warning, letting the intruder know they've been spotted before they even attempt to enter your home. This proactive approach is far more effective than traditional alarms that only sound once a break-in has already occurred.

The semi-rural nature of Clayton West and Scissett means many homes have outbuildings, workshops, or large gardens that are vulnerable to theft. scOS is ideal for these properties because it uses wired connections rather than Wi-Fi. Wireless cameras can be easily 'jammed' by tech-savvy criminals using inexpensive devices. Our wired system ensures a constant, unhackable connection to your Intelligence Hub. Furthermore, our AI auto-detects your property lines, so you don't need to worry about setting up complex sensors in your garden; the system simply knows where your property begins and will protect every inch of it.

Yes, scOS features a revolutionary conversational AI called scOS Director. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask natural questions like, 'Did anyone come to the back gate yesterday?' or 'What time did the delivery van arrive?' The Director will instantly search your recorded data and provide you with the answer. This is incredibly useful for busy residents in Clayton West and Scissett who want to stay informed about their property's security without spending time managing a complex system. It’s like having a digital security guard you can talk to at any time.
