Standard CCTV is essentially a digital witness that records a crime while it happens, often leaving you with nothing but high-definition footage of a person in a mask walking away with your belongings. scOS is fundamentally different because it is a proactive 'digital bodyguard.' While traditional systems rely on basic motion detection that is frequently triggered by wind, rain, or animals, scOS uses our proprietary MotionX technology. This AI is trained to ignore 'noise' and focus exclusively on 'important activity,' such as a person loitering or attempting to conceal their face. Unlike passive systems, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. Using automatic property boundary detection, it knows exactly where your land begins and can trigger escalating responses—including instant lighting and AI-generated voice warnings from external IoT speakers—to deter an intruder before they ever reach your door. It transforms your security from a recording device into an active deterrent that stops crime in its tracks.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a world-class intelligent security system. We are compatible with almost all professional-grade wired IP cameras, including major brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK-based installation, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup and integrate your cameras into our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub handles the heavy-duty AI processing locally before escalating important events to the cloud. By using your existing wired infrastructure, we ensure a more stable and secure connection than wireless alternatives, which are susceptible to signal jamming. This approach allows you to upgrade to the most advanced AI security in the UK without the need to replace your entire existing hardware investment, providing a cost-effective path to total home intelligence.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer strategy to ensure criminals never see your home as a viable target. The first layer is Presence Simulation; the system learns your household's typical activity patterns and replicates them when you are away, making your home appear occupied to anyone scouting the area. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies 'important activity' with 100% accuracy. It recognises people regardless of how they move or what they are wearing, even if they are using masks or hoods to hide their identity. The final layer is Active Intervention. If an unauthorised person breaches your automatically detected property boundaries, scOS doesn't just wait for an alarm to go off. It triggers an escalating response, starting with instant illumination and followed by clear, authoritative voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response signals to the intruder that they are being monitored by an active system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy and data security are at the heart of everything we do at scOS. Unlike many competitors who store data on international servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means our company, our technical support teams, and our secure data centres are all located within the UK, ensuring full compliance with GDPR and UK privacy laws. We use a 'Local + Cloud' processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub installed in your home processes the majority of the AI data locally. Only when the system identifies a significant event is the data escalated to our secure UK cloud for storage and remote access. We never sell your data to third parties, and you maintain complete control over your recordings. Your footage is stored for up to two weeks and is accessible only by you through our secure app, giving you peace of mind that your home's intelligence remains private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that acts as a high-tech peephole, showing you who is at your door only after they have arrived. By the time a doorbell notifies you of a visitor, a criminal may have already scouted your side gates or checked your windows. scOS is a comprehensive, whole-property intelligence system that is designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that automatically detects your land lines. It identifies suspicious behaviour on your driveway or in your garden long before someone reaches your front door. Furthermore, while doorbells often suffer from false alarms caused by passing traffic or pedestrians on the pavement, scOS uses MotionX to focus only on activity that actually matters to your security. It provides a proactive shield for your entire home, rather than just a single point of entry.

Doveridge’s proximity to the A50 makes it an attractive target for criminals who use the dual carriageway for a fast escape. scOS combats this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition. The system can identify vehicles lingering near your property and check their registrations against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a history of suspicious activity is detected, scOS can alert you immediately. Furthermore, the instant AI-driven deterrents (lights and voice) are designed to make a criminal realise that your home is not an 'easy' target, encouraging them to move on before they even attempt a break-in. By removing the element of surprise and speed, scOS makes your home a much harder target for A50-based opportunists.

For residents in Doveridge who may have high-value work vehicles or machinery, scOS offers specialised protection. Our AI doesn't just see a 'car'; it recognises specific vehicle types and can be trained to know your own fleet. If someone approaches your van or equipment at an unusual hour, the system's MotionX technology will identify the human shape and intent, triggering an escalating response. The external IoT speakers can deliver a direct warning, such as 'Security has identified you at the vehicle,' which is often enough to stop a theft in progress. This provides a dedicated layer of security for your livelihood that standard home alarms simply cannot provide.

Derbyshire Constabulary often highlights the importance of high-quality evidence in rural crime cases. scOS provides 24/7 recording with up to two weeks of footage stored in our secure UK-based cloud. Because our system uses high-quality wired cameras and AI-driven event tagging, you don't have to sift through hours of empty footage. You can use 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, to ask questions like 'Show me any white vans that entered the driveway yesterday.' This allows you to provide the police with precise, actionable evidence, including clear images of faces (even if partially covered) and vehicle registrations, significantly increasing the chances of a successful investigation.
