Standard CCTV is a passive recording tool that only helps after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Using our MotionX technology, scOS identifies 'important activity'—specifically human and vehicle movement—while ignoring false triggers like wind or animals. Unlike traditional systems that require manual 'zones,' scOS automatically learns your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, it doesn't just record; it intervenes. Through automatic lighting and voice warnings from external speakers, scOS actively deters intruders, stopping them before they can cause damage or gain entry to your East Ardsley home.

Yes, scOS is designed to be compatible with most existing wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have cameras installed at your East Ardsley property, our professional UK-based engineers can often integrate them into our Intelligence Hub. During the 4-6 hour installation process, we will assess your current hardware and transform your 'dumb' cameras into a smart, AI-driven network. This allows you to benefit from our advanced proactive protection and scOS Director AI without the expense of replacing all your existing equipment.

scOS employs a three-tier deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your daily routines and simulates human activity inside your home when you're away, making it appear occupied to anyone scouting the area. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders regardless of their movement or if they are wearing hoods or masks. Third is Active Intervention: if a boundary is crossed, scOS triggers instant lighting and authoritative voice warnings. This escalating response is designed to convince any intruder that the property is actively guarded, forcing them to move on.

We are a 100% UK-based company, and your data privacy is our top priority. All footage and intelligence data are stored in secure UK-based data centres and are fully GDPR compliant. Unlike other systems that may send data abroad, scOS ensures your information stays under UK jurisdiction. Our system uses a hybrid of local processing on your Intelligence Hub and secure cloud processing for advanced AI tasks. You have total control over your data, which is never sold or shared, and you can access your 24/7 recordings from anywhere via our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers your front door. scOS provides comprehensive, 360-degree property intelligence. While a doorbell might alert you when someone is already at your door, scOS detects threats at your property boundary—whether that's your driveway, side gate, or back garden. scOS also features active deterrents like presence simulation and voice warnings that a doorbell simply cannot provide. For East Ardsley residents, scOS offers a complete security solution that stops crime before it reaches your front door, rather than just recording it.

East Ardsley's position in the West Yorkshire commuter belt makes it a prime target for daytime burglaries while residents are at work in Leeds or Wakefield. scOS is specifically designed for this lifestyle. Our Presence Simulation makes your home look active throughout the day, while our Activity Pattern Recognition learns your normal schedule and alerts you to any anomalies. Whether you're commuting via the M1 or M62, you can rest easy knowing scOS is actively guarding your home and will alert you the moment something unusual happens.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is incredibly useful for homes in busy commuter areas like East Ardsley. The system automatically logs the registration plates of vehicles entering your property's vicinity and checks them against the DVLA database. It can identify if a vehicle's make and model don't match its plates, which is a common tactic for criminals using cloned vehicles. This provides an extra layer of intelligence, helping you and the West Yorkshire Police identify suspicious activity before it escalates into a crime.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of hunting through hours of video, you can simply ask, 'Director, were there any suspicious people near the garage today?' or 'What time did the kids get home?' The AI will instantly provide you with the answers and relevant clips. It’s like having a 24/7 security guard for your East Ardsley home that you can talk to at any time, making home security simple and intuitive.
