Traditional CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records a crime so you can watch it back later. scOS is a digital security guard. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing car or a swaying branch, our revolutionary MotionX technology focuses only on 'important activity.' It ignores spiders, cobwebs, and animals, providing zero false alarms. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. It automatically detects your property boundaries without you needing to draw complex zones, and it uses escalating responses—from turning on lights to delivering voice warnings via external IoT speakers—to stop an intruder before they ever reach your door. It transforms your security from a passive record into a proactive deterrent.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI-driven network. If you have wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By layering our scOS software over your existing cameras, you gain all the benefits of MotionX detection, presence simulation, and proactive AI monitoring without the need to replace your entire physical infrastructure. This makes upgrading to a truly intelligent home security system both cost-effective and efficient for Derrington residents.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away, the system simulates human activity patterns inside your home to make it appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person's presence regardless of whether they are wearing a hood or trying to hide their figure. Third is Active Intervention. If someone crosses your property boundary, the system triggers an instant response. This starts with illumination and can escalate to authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. Unlike a standard alarm that rings after a break-in, scOS identifies the threat early and uses these escalating layers to convince a criminal that your home is a high-risk target, usually causing them to leave before any damage is done.

At scOS, we take your privacy as seriously as your security. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. All your data is processed through our local Intelligence Hub on your property, with necessary escalations handled in secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your footage and personal information remain your property and are never sold or shared with third parties. You have complete control over your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that home intelligence should provide peace of mind without compromising your digital privacy or your right to feel secure in your own data.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. For a property in Derrington, you need protection that covers more than just the front step. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS uses AI to detect someone scouting your perimeter or loitering near your side gates. It stops the crime from happening in the first place through proactive light and voice deterrents. Furthermore, scOS is a hardwired system, making it far more reliable than wireless doorbells that can be easily jammed or suffer from battery failure. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a comprehensive, AI-driven security detail for your entire home.

Derrington's proximity to the Stafford Greenway means some properties have boundaries that are accessible from public paths. scOS uses advanced AI to automatically detect your property lines, ensuring that the system only monitors your private space. It ignores the normal movement of walkers and cyclists on the Greenway but will instantly identify and challenge anyone who attempts to cross into your garden or approach your home from the rear. This provides a vital layer of protection for homes that might otherwise feel exposed.

scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is particularly useful for residents on Derrington's quiet lanes. The system automatically checks the registration plates of vehicles near your property against the national database. It can recognise your own cars and those of regular visitors, while flagging any unknown vehicles that exhibit suspicious behaviour, such as driving slowly past multiple times or parking in unusual spots. This proactive intelligence helps you stay one step ahead of potential threats.

scOS features 'scOS Director,' a conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask questions like, 'Was there any unusual activity while I was in Stafford today?' or 'Did the window cleaner come?' This makes managing your home security effortless, providing you with an instant, accurate summary of everything that’s happened at your Derrington home without you having to check the cameras yourself.
