Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your property being burgled but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only. It recognises people and vehicles with surgical precision, meaning no more annoying false alarms on your phone. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. When a genuine threat is detected, the system can automatically trigger external lights and voice warnings to deter the intruder before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

In most cases, yes. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with them seamlessly. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering our AI over your existing cameras, you get all the benefits of MotionX detection and proactive deterrents without needing to replace every piece of glass on your house. This makes upgrading to a truly intelligent home security system both cost-effective and efficient for Elland homeowners.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you're commuting or away for the weekend. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces immediately, regardless of how an intruder tries to hide. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If someone enters your property boundaries, scOS triggers escalating responses, from turning on floodlights to delivering authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. Unlike a standard alarm that rings after the break-in, scOS is designed to make a criminal decide your home isn't worth the risk before they ever touch a window.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global brands that ship your footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response, and then securely backed up to our UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your video feeds and personal information remain your property. We never sell your data, and our encryption standards are of the highest grade. You have total control over who sees your footage and for how long it is stored (up to 14 days of 24/7 recording), giving you peace of mind that your home's privacy is never compromised.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a slow sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back garden. More importantly, scOS is proactive. A doorbell won't stop a burglar from smashing a side window, but scOS will detect them the moment they step onto your land and use voice deterrents to scare them off. It’s a comprehensive security solution that protects every inch of your home, not just the front mat.

Elland's proximity to the M62 makes it a prime target for 'keyless' car theft, where thieves look for quick escape routes. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which can identify suspicious vehicles or cloned plates scouting your street. If an unrecognised vehicle lingers near your driveway, the system can alert you immediately. By combining this with our MotionX person detection, we provide a formidable shield for your vehicles. Our escalating response system ensures that if someone approaches your car at night, they are met with instant illumination and a voice warning, making your driveway a very unattractive prospect for thieves.

West Yorkshire Police, like many forces, are stretched thin. scOS helps by providing high-quality, actionable evidence rather than hours of grainy, useless footage. Because our system records 24/7 and uses AI to flag 'important activity,' you can quickly find the exact moment an incident occurred. Our scOS Director AI even allows you to ask natural questions like 'Show me any white vans from yesterday,' making it easy to provide the police with the specific clips they need to make an arrest. This level of detail significantly increases the chances of a successful investigation.

Absolutely. Elland has a mix of traditional stone terraces and modern detached homes. Our professional UK installation team are experts at discreetly wiring systems into any property type. We prefer wired connections over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be 'jammed' by sophisticated burglars using signal blockers. We take great care to ensure that the installation is neat, tidy, and respects the aesthetic of your home, typically completing the entire setup in just 4 to 6 hours. We'll even show you how to use the scOS Director AI before we leave.
