Traditional CCTV is a passive witness that merely records crime as it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a person in a hoodie. scOS is a proactive digital guard that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person loitering—while ignoring wind, spiders, and animals. Unlike standard systems that rely on easily-triggered motion masks, scOS understands the context of your property, intervening with lights and voice warnings to stop an intruder before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, we will assess your current hardware to ensure it meets the requirements for our Intelligence Hub to process the high-quality data needed for our AI features.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside when you're away. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Finally, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they have been spotted.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. All data is processed through a combination of your local Intelligence Hub and our secure UK data centres, ensuring full GDPR compliance. Unlike many international brands, we never sell your data or allow third-party access; your footage and activity patterns remain entirely under your control and are accessible only by you through our encrypted app.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door once they've already arrived, which is often too late. scOS protects your entire property boundary, detecting a threat as soon as they step onto your driveway or garden in Easington. While a doorbell is a reactive tool, scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses escalating deterrents to ensure a criminal never gets close enough to ring the bell in the first place.

With Easington's property crime rate significantly higher than the national average, vehicle theft is a major concern for residents. Our system includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically logs every registration plate that enters your property. It can even cross-reference these against the DVLA database to flag cloned plates or suspicious vehicles, providing Durham Constabulary with high-quality evidence that standard cameras miss.

Yes, scOS is built for the British weather. Our MotionX AI is specifically trained to ignore the coastal winds and sea spray common in County Durham, which typically cause 'dumb' motion sensors to trigger constant false alarms. You won't be woken up by alerts caused by a storm off the North Sea; you'll only be notified when there is a genuine human threat on your property.

Absolutely. Our professional UK installation team handles everything in a single day, typically taking between 4 and 6 hours. We ensure all wiring is discreet and secure, prioritising wired connections over wireless to prevent the signal jamming that many tech-savvy criminals now use to bypass simpler DIY systems.
