Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime in its tracks. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that trigger alerts for every swaying branch, spider web, or passing cat, MotionX is trained to recognise 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour. It requires no manual motion masks or complex 'tripwire' setup because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When it detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with light and voice deterrents. This means you get zero false alarms and a system that actually protects your home rather than just filming its violation.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video locally before escalating important data to our secure UK cloud, giving your old cameras the power of MotionX detection, person recognition, and proactive deterrents without the need for a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied to anyone watching from the street. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Third is Active Intervention. If an intruder persists, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination of the area and moves to authoritative voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. Unlike a simple alarm, scOS tells the intruder exactly what they are doing, making it clear they are being monitored by an intelligent system.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All video processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub. When a potential threat is identified, data is escalated to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres for high-level AI analysis. We never sell your data to third parties, and you maintain full control over your recordings. You can access up to two weeks of 24/7 footage from anywhere in the world via our secure app. Because we are a UK company, our support team and data infrastructure are all governed by British law, ensuring your home's intelligence stays in your hands.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your front door; scOS is a comprehensive security solution that protects your entire property. While a doorbell might capture a package thief, it won't stop someone entering through a side window or prowling your back garden. scOS provides 360-degree proactive protection. It uses AI to detect threats at the very edge of your property, long before they reach your door. Furthermore, doorbells often rely on Wi-Fi, which can be easily jammed by modern burglars. scOS uses professional wired connections, ensuring that your security remains online and functional even when criminals use signal-jamming technology.

Elvington is a safe village, but its proximity to York and the A1079 makes it accessible to transient criminals. North Yorkshire Police do an excellent job, but they cannot be everywhere at once. scOS provides a constant, intelligent presence that doesn't suffer from complacency. By using presence simulation, your home looks active even if you're out for dinner in York or away on holiday, significantly reducing the chance of your property being selected as a target in the first place.

Yes. Our system includes DVLA-linked vehicle recognition, which is perfect for monitoring the cars that enter your property. In a village like Elvington, knowing which vehicles belong to neighbours and which are unknown can be vital. You can ask the scOS Director, 'Has there been a silver van on the drive today?' and get an immediate answer. This level of intelligence helps you keep track of your property's surroundings with zero effort.

scOS is built for the British climate. Unlike wireless DIY cameras that can fail in North Yorkshire winters or lose signal during heavy rain, our systems are professionally wired. This ensures a stable, high-bandwidth connection that can't be jammed or interrupted by weather. Our hardware is ruggedised and designed to provide crystal-clear MotionX detection whether it's a sunny day or a foggy Yorkshire morning.
