Traditional CCTV is passive; it records footage for you to review after a crime has occurred. scOS is proactive. It uses our MotionX technology to distinguish between 'important activity' (like a person approaching your home) and 'unimportant motion' (like a bird or a swaying branch). When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it intervenes. It uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers instant lighting to deter the intruder before they can cause any harm. It’s an active security solution that stops crime instead of just filming it.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your existing cameras. We can often transform your current 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI system by connecting them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade to proactive, AI-driven security without the need to replace all your existing hardware, making it a cost-effective way to get world-class protection.

scOS uses a three-layered approach. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your home's normal activity patterns to make it look occupied when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies human threats the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they are trying to hide their face. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, the system triggers instant lights and authoritative voice warnings via external speakers. This escalating response is designed to let intruders know they've been spotted and that the property is actively monitored, causing them to leave immediately.

Your data privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model where the AI analysis happens locally on your Intelligence Hub, and only critical alerts are sent to our secure cloud. We never sell or share your data with third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is accessible only to you via our encrypted app. Your data stays in the UK and stays yours.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive, property-wide protection. It monitors your entire boundary and uses AI to stop criminals before they even reach your door. Unlike many doorbells that rely on Wi-Fi and can be easily jammed, scOS is a wired system for maximum reliability. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from stepping onto your property in the first place.

Darrington's location near the A1 and M62 makes it vulnerable to 'commuter' criminals who use the motorways for quick access and escape. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically scans the registration plates of vehicles entering your driveway. It checks these against the national database to flag cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. This provides an essential early warning system, alerting you to a potential threat before anyone even steps out of the car.

scOS is a professionally installed, wired system, which makes it far more reliable than DIY wireless cameras. In a village like Darrington, you need a system that can't be 'jammed' by tech-savvy criminals using electronic interference. Our wired setup ensures a constant, secure connection. Furthermore, our Intelligence Hub processes data locally, so even if your internet connection is interrupted, the system's proactive deterrents—like lights and voice warnings—will still function to protect your home.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that lets you ask questions about your home's security in plain English. You can ask, 'Was there any unusual activity while I was out?' or 'Did the delivery driver leave the parcel?' It provides instant, intelligent answers based on the activity it has recorded. For Darrington residents who may be commuting or travelling via the nearby motorways, this provides a quick and easy way to stay informed without having to manually check hours of video footage.
