Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune for later review; scOS is an active participant in your home's defence. While traditional systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, scOS utilises our proprietary MotionX technology. MotionX ignores the 'noise' of spiders, wind, and animals, focusing exclusively on important human activity without the need for complex user-defined motion masks. When the system identifies a genuine threat, it doesn't just record—it intervenes. By combining this intelligence with automatic property boundary detection, scOS understands exactly where your land begins and ends, providing a proactive shield that traditional 'dumb' cameras simply cannot match. It transforms your security from a post-incident evidence gatherer into a preventative intelligence suite that stops crime before it happens.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing hardware. Our Intelligence Hub is compatible with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing 'dumb' cameras to the scOS Intelligence Hub, we transform them into sophisticated AI sensors capable of MotionX detection and DVLA vehicle recognition. This means you don't necessarily need to invest in an entirely new set of cameras to benefit from our proactive protection, escalating responses, and conversational AI features, making the upgrade to true home intelligence both sustainable and cost-effective.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage of an attempted breach. The first layer is Presence Simulation; unlike simple timers, scOS learns your internal activity patterns and simulates human presence inside the home when you're away, making the property look occupied to any scout. If a criminal approaches, the second layer, MotionX, identifies them instantly. It recognises people regardless of how they move or if they attempt to cover their faces with hoods or masks. Finally, the system initiates Active Intervention. As a threat crosses your automatically detected property boundary, scOS triggers instant illumination and delivers authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. This escalating response—moving from simulation to detection to direct verbal warning—is designed to convince any intruder that the home is occupied and monitored, forcing them to retreat before they even reach your door.

Your privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who outsource data management to international servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your data is processed through our Intelligence Hub locally before being escalated to our secure UK-based data centres, ensuring full GDPR compliance. We believe your data belongs to you; we never sell your information or footage to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. By keeping our company, support teams, and data infrastructure within the UK, we provide a level of digital sovereignty and legal protection that international brands simply cannot offer, giving you peace of mind that your home's intelligence remains private and secure.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your door; scOS is a proactive intelligence system that protects your entire property. While doorbells have a limited field of view and often only alert you once a person is already on your doorstep, scOS monitors your entire boundary using professional-grade wired cameras. Doorbells are also prone to 'jamming' due to their reliance on Wi-Fi, whereas scOS uses hardwired connections for unshakeable reliability. Most importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it reaches the door. Through presence simulation, AI-driven voice deterrents, and escalating light responses, we intervene at the perimeter. A doorbell might catch a package thief on camera, but scOS prevents the thief from ever stepping onto your driveway in the first place.

Egglescliffe's proximity to Yarm and the Teesside area means vehicle theft is a significant concern for residents. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically checks the registration of any vehicle that enters your property's vicinity. If a vehicle is using cloned plates or has been flagged for suspicious activity, scOS can alert you immediately. This is particularly useful for identifying 'scouts' who may be looking for high-value cars before returning later to attempt a theft. By identifying these threats early, scOS helps you stay one step ahead of organised crime.

For homes near the River Tees or with large gardens, traditional security sensors can be a nightmare due to wildlife and moving vegetation. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is trained to ignore animals, birds, and swaying trees. It focuses exclusively on human activity, meaning you won't be woken up at 2 AM by a fox in the garden. However, if a person enters your property, the system will instantly recognise them—even if they are trying to hide their face or move stealthily—and initiate an escalating response to drive them away.

Cleveland Police face high demand across the Teesside region, which can impact response times for residential property crimes. scOS provides an immediate, on-site deterrent that doesn't wait for the police to arrive. By using voice warnings and automatic light responses, the system often scares off intruders before they can do any damage. If you do need to provide evidence, our 100% UK-based data centres store high-quality, 24/7 recordings that are easy to search using our scOS Director AI, giving the police the best possible chance of identifying suspects.
