Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune for later review. scOS transforms your security into a proactive shield using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on 'motion masks' and frequently trigger false alarms from swaying trees or passing shadows, MotionX understands 'important activity.' It ignores cobwebs, spiders, and weather, focusing exclusively on genuine threats like people or vehicles. When a potential intruder is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents to stop the crime before it happens. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We transform 'dumb' cameras into intelligent sensors by offloading the processing to our local hub and cloud infrastructure. This means you don't need to replace your entire investment to benefit from our advanced AI features like DVLA vehicle recognition or proactive voice deterrents.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home appear occupied even when you're away. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour regardless of whether an intruder is wearing a mask or trying to hide their figure. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers Active Intervention. This includes instant illumination of the area and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By detecting the property boundary automatically and responding the moment a line is crossed, scOS ensures criminals feel watched and unwelcome long before they reach your door.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All video processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before escalating to our secure UK-based data centres for advanced AI analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data remains entirely yours; we never sell or share your footage with third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. By keeping our operations, support, and data storage within the UK, we ensure the highest standards of digital security and legal protection for Corbridge residents.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door—often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from your driveway to your back garden. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime, not just record it. A doorbell won't simulate your presence inside the house or issue escalating voice warnings to a prowler in your garden. With scOS, you get a professional-grade, wired system that can't be jammed like wireless doorbells, providing a robust defence that covers every corner of your home.

Corbridge is home to many beautiful period properties and high-value homes that require a sophisticated touch. Our professional UK installation team is expert at installing scOS in historic buildings, ensuring that all wiring is discreet and the technology is integrated without compromising the architectural integrity of your home. We use wired Power over Ethernet (POE) connections, which are more reliable than Wi-Fi and avoid the need for bulky battery packs or unsightly plastic components, keeping your Northumberland home both secure and aesthetically pleasing.

Corbridge’s reputation as an affluent village can unfortunately attract unwanted attention from organised criminals. scOS uses 'Presence Simulation' to make your home look occupied even when you're out for dinner or away on holiday. By learning your typical lighting and movement patterns, the system can realistically simulate human activity inside the house. This is the most effective way to prevent your home from being 'cased' or targeted, as burglars almost always prefer an empty property. Combined with our proactive voice deterrents, scOS provides a level of protection that matches the value of your home.

Absolutely. Our 'scOS Director' is a conversational AI that allows you to ask natural questions about your property. You can ask, 'Has anyone been to the front door today?' or 'Is the back gate closed?' and get an immediate, intelligent response. This is perfect for Corbridge residents who may be travelling or working in Newcastle and want to stay connected to their home without the stress of monitoring constant alerts. It’s like having a digital estate manager who is always on duty.
