Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records a crime while it's happening. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses our proprietary MotionX technology to stop crime before it occurs. Unlike standard systems that require you to set up complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from pets or wind, MotionX works out of the box to identify 'important activity'—specifically human threats. When scOS detects an intruder, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with automated light and voice responses from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach deters criminals in real-time, providing a level of security that passive recording simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If your Cromford home already has a wired camera system, our Intelligence Hub can often integrate those cameras, transforming them from 'dumb' recording devices into intelligent AI sensors. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your existing hardware to ensure it is compatible with our MotionX AI processing. This allows you to upgrade to the UK's most advanced home security system without the need for a complete and expensive hardware replacement.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to protect your home. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic your home's normal activity patterns when you're away, making it appear occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies human threats the moment they cross your property boundary, regardless of how they are dressed or moving. The final layer is active intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates bright security lights. This escalating response shows the intruder they have been detected by an intelligent system, which is a far more powerful deterrent than a simple siren.

Your privacy is a top priority for us. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many international brands, we never sell your data to third parties. Most of the AI processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub for maximum speed and privacy, with only critical events being backed up to our secure cloud. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our encrypted app. With scOS, your data stays in the UK and under your control.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door and is often vulnerable to WiFi jamming. scOS provides comprehensive, proactive protection for your entire property, including gardens, driveways, and side entrances. While a doorbell tells you someone is at the door, scOS uses AI to stop them from getting there in the first place. Our system uses reliable wired connections and features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents that a doorbell simply cannot match. For homes in Cromford, scOS offers a level of whole-property security that a simple doorbell cannot provide.

Cromford's status as a tourist destination in the Peak District brings a high volume of footfall, which can provide cover for opportunistic thieves. scOS is designed to handle this by using MotionX to distinguish between legitimate tourist activity and suspicious behaviour on your property. Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, ensuring that while visitors enjoy the village, your home remains a secure sanctuary. By providing an immediate, automated response to any intruder, scOS ensures that your home is not an easy target in a busy tourist area.

While Cromford is a safe village, its rural location and tourist appeal can make it a target for thieves who believe they can operate unnoticed. scOS acts as a 24/7 digital sentry that never gets complacent. By providing an immediate, automated response to any threat, scOS ensures that your home is never an easy target. Even if Derbyshire Constabulary response times are affected by the rural location, scOS is already on-site, actively deterring the intruder the moment they arrive. It’s about making your home the most difficult one in the area to target.

scOS is designed to be incredibly easy to use. With 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, you can simply ask your system questions like 'Has anyone been in the back garden today?' or 'What time did the postman arrive?' This makes managing your security as simple as having a conversation. You don't need to be a tech expert to use scOS; it’s designed to provide professional-grade security with a user-friendly interface that anyone can master. It’s like having a security guard you can talk to at any time.
