Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is proactive, using our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person approaching your property—rather than just movement like wind or animals. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries and intervenes the moment a threat is detected. It doesn't just watch; it acts to prevent the incident entirely.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with almost any existing wired IP camera system, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional installation, we'll assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub, effectively transforming your 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI security network. This allows you to upgrade to world-class intelligence without the cost of replacing all your existing cameras.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're away. Second, MotionX detection identifies suspicious behaviour or concealed faces instantly, regardless of how an intruder moves. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers active interventions: automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they've been spotted.

Your privacy is our priority. All scOS data is stored in secure, UK-based data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. Unlike many global brands, we never sell your data or use it for advertising. Initial processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed, with only critical events escalated to our secure UK cloud for 24/7 access. You maintain total control over your footage at all times.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at your front door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, detecting threats at your boundary before they reach the house. While a doorbell is a reactive tool, scOS is a complete security solution that uses AI to stop crime before it happens, covering every angle of your Cleadon home, not just the entrance.

Cleadon is known for its high-value properties and luxury vehicles, which unfortunately makes it a magnet for professional car thieves. scOS uses DVLA Vehicle Recognition to monitor every car that enters your driveway. If a vehicle with cloned plates is detected, or if someone approaches your cars at night, the system can trigger an immediate voice warning to scare them off before they touch your vehicle.

Coastal environments can be tough on wireless electronics. scOS uses a fully wired infrastructure, which is far more durable and reliable than battery-powered or WiFi-dependent systems. Our professional installation ensures that your Intelligence Hub and cameras are set up to withstand the North East weather while providing 24/7 recording and AI monitoring.

Northumbria Police cover a wide area, and response times can vary. scOS acts as your first line of defence, using escalating responses—from lights to voice warnings—to handle intruders automatically. This means that by the time you're even aware of an incident, the intruder has likely already been deterred by the system's proactive intervention.
