Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Using our MotionX technology, it identifies "important activity" rather than just motion, meaning it ignores wind, animals, and shadows. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw "zones," scOS automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic lights and voice warnings to stop intruders. It’s the difference between having a video of a break-in and preventing the break-in from ever happening.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional, wired IP camera systems, such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. Our Intelligence Hub integrates with your existing cameras, upgrading them with our advanced AI and proactive deterrent features. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will verify your hardware's compatibility. This allows Emley residents to leverage their existing security investment while gaining the massive benefits of scOS’s proactive protection and conversational AI interface.

scOS employs a three-layered deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're out. Second, our MotionX technology detects intruders the moment they cross your boundary, even if they are disguised. Finally, the system triggers an escalating response: instant lighting followed by firm voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach ensures that criminals are identified and challenged long before they can attempt to enter your home, providing a powerful deterrent that passive cameras lack.

Your privacy is paramount. scOS is 100% UK-based, with all support and data centres located within the UK. Your footage is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for maximum privacy and speed, only using our secure UK cloud for alerts and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data is yours alone and is never sold. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely via our app from anywhere.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only monitors your front door; it often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS is a complete home intelligence system that monitors your entire property boundary. It detects threats before they reach your house and uses active deterrents to stop them. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS prevents the thief from ever stepping onto your property. With 24/7 recording and MotionX intelligence, scOS offers comprehensive protection that a simple doorbell cannot match.

In rural villages like Emley, police response times can be longer than in urban centres. scOS addresses this by being your first line of defence. Our system doesn't just wait for the police; it actively intervenes to stop a crime in progress. By using escalating voice warnings and instant illumination, scOS often scares off intruders before they can do any damage. This proactive "self-defending" capability is essential for rural properties where you cannot always rely on an immediate external response to a triggered alarm.

Unlike wireless DIY systems that can be vulnerable to signal interference or "jamming"—a particular concern in areas near high-power transmitters like the Emley Moor mast—scOS is a professionally installed, wired system. We prioritise wired connections over wireless to ensure 100% reliability and security. This means your home intelligence system remains stable and functional regardless of local electronic interference, providing you with consistent, 24/7 protection that you can rely on in any conditions.

scOS is perfect for larger rural properties with outbuildings or stables. Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, including any detached structures within the cameras' field of view. MotionX technology is particularly effective here, as it can distinguish between a fox or a swaying branch and a person attempting to break into a shed or garage. You can even use scOS Director to ask, "Is the garage door secure?" or "Has anyone been near the stables today?", giving you total peace of mind over your entire estate.
