Traditional CCTV is a passive tool that only records crime after it has happened. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour—while ignoring false triggers like animals, wind, or cobwebs. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't require you to set up complex motion zones; it automatically learns your property boundaries. Most importantly, scOS intervenes. When a threat is detected, it uses lights and voice deterrents to stop intruders before they can cause damage or gain entry to your Cross Hills home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. Our professional UK-based installation team can usually integrate your existing cameras into the scOS Intelligence Hub in a single day (4-6 hours). This transforms your current 'dumb' cameras into a smart, proactive network. We will conduct a full assessment during installation to ensure your hardware is compatible and positioned optimally to take full advantage of our AI features, allowing you to upgrade your security without the expense of a completely new camera set.

scOS uses a three-tier deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside while you're away. Second, our MotionX AI detects suspicious activity at your property boundary, even if an intruder is wearing a mask or hood. Third, the system triggers an Active Intervention: external lights flash and authoritative voice warnings are delivered via IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to startle and deter criminals at the perimeter, ensuring they know they've been spotted long before they reach your door or windows.

Your data privacy 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. We process intelligence locally on your home's Intelligence Hub before escalating to the cloud, ensuring speed and security. We never sell your data to third parties, and you have complete control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. You can access your data from anywhere, knowing it is protected by the highest UK security standards.

Video doorbells are reactive and limited to a single view of your front door. They are also prone to Wi-Fi jamming. scOS provides comprehensive, whole-property protection using wired connections that cannot be jammed. While a doorbell tells you someone is there, scOS proactively stops them from being there. By monitoring your entire perimeter and using AI to intervene with lights and sound, scOS prevents crime rather than just recording it. For a village like Cross Hills, with its mix of residential and through-traffic, this proactive approach is far more effective.

Cross Hills' location on the A629 corridor means a high volume of through-traffic, which can lead to increased 'scouting' by vehicle-bound criminals. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically checks the registration of any vehicle entering your property against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unknown registration is detected, the system alerts you immediately. This allows you to identify suspicious vehicles that may be monitoring your home's patterns, providing an essential layer of intelligence for homes near busy transport links.

The weather in the gateway to the Dales can be challenging, but scOS is built to handle it. Our MotionX technology is revolutionary because it ignores environmental noise like heavy rain, wind-blown debris, and swaying trees. This means you won't be plagued by false alarms during a Yorkshire storm. The system focuses exclusively on 'important activity,' ensuring that your home remains secure and your alerts remain meaningful, no matter what the weather is doing outside.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security using natural language. Instead of hunting through hours of video, you can simply ask, 'Was there any activity near the driveway last night?' or 'Did the delivery arrive?' The AI understands the context of your property and provides instant answers. This is incredibly useful for Cross Hills residents who want to stay informed about their home's security without the hassle of manual monitoring. It’s like having a digital security guard that you can talk to at any time.
