Traditional CCTV is a passive observer, merely recording a crime while it happens. scOS is a proactive guardian that uses our proprietary MotionX technology to understand context, not just movement. While older systems might bombard you with false alerts caused by the wind in the trees or a stray cat, MotionX ignores the noise and focuses on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or if they attempt to conceal their identity, and because it understands your property boundaries automatically, there is no need for you to set up complex motion masks. When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just watch; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder in their tracks.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can typically transform your existing 'dumb' wired IP cameras into a sophisticated, AI-powered security network. During our professional UK installation—which usually takes between 4 and 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware. We are compatible with most major brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. By connecting your cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub, we apply our advanced MotionX algorithms and proactive deterrents to your current setup. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI intelligence without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided your existing cameras meet the necessary technical standards for wired connectivity.

scOS employs a powerful three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals before they reach your door. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your internal activity patterns and replicate them when you are away, making your home appear occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour with incredible precision, even if a criminal is wearing a mask or hood. Once a threat is confirmed within your property boundaries, the third layer—Active Intervention—is triggered. This involves instant illumination from external lights and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. This combination of appearing occupied and providing an immediate, intelligent response makes your home an unattractive target for any would-be intruder.

Your privacy is paramount, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based company. All your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is managed in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many other security providers, we never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the AI analysis locally on your property for maximum speed and privacy. Data is only escalated to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced processing or to allow you to access your footage remotely. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you someone is at your door, but often only after they have already arrived. scOS provides comprehensive property intelligence that covers your entire home, not just the front entrance. While a doorbell might record a parcel being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the theft from happening in the first place. By using MotionX to detect prowlers at your boundary and employing proactive deterrents like Presence Simulation and voice warnings, scOS stops crime before it occurs. Furthermore, scOS is a professionally installed, wired system, offering far greater reliability and security than battery-powered doorbells which can be prone to signal jamming or lag.

Denby Bottles is a remarkably safe place to live, but that can sometimes lead to complacency. Criminals often target low-crime areas specifically because they expect security to be lax. scOS provides a 'set and forget' solution that maintains a high level of vigilance without you having to think about it. Our AI-driven system is always on, monitoring your boundaries and simulating your presence, ensuring that your home remains a difficult target even in the quietest of Derbyshire villages.

Many properties in the Denby area have detached garages or workshops that house valuable tools or vehicles. scOS is ideal for protecting these outbuildings. Our MotionX technology can be extended to cover your entire property, and because it understands human behaviour, it can distinguish between you going to your workshop and an intruder attempting to break in. If a boundary is breached near an outbuilding, the system can trigger immediate voice warnings and lights, protecting your assets before any damage is done.

Derbyshire Constabulary does excellent work, but rural policing often relies on high-quality evidence from residents. scOS provides 24/7 recording stored for two weeks in our secure UK cloud. More importantly, our scOS Director feature allows you to search your footage using natural language—for example, 'Show me any white vans that parked outside yesterday.' This makes it incredibly easy to provide the police with specific, actionable intelligence if a suspicious incident occurs in the village.
