Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. In a village like Evenwood, you need a system that acts before a break-in occurs. scOS uses MotionX technology to proactively monitor your property. Unlike standard systems that require manual 'zones,' scOS automatically detects your boundaries. It focuses on 'important activity,' meaning it ignores animals and wind but instantly recognises a person, even if they are disguised. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to deter the intruder immediately.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and can integrate with most existing wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink. If your Evenwood home already has a CCTV setup, our Intelligence Hub can likely upgrade it with our advanced AI. During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK-based engineers will evaluate your current cameras and integrate them into the scOS ecosystem. This allows you to benefit from proactive AI protection and MotionX detection without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, making it a smart and efficient upgrade for your Durham home.

scOS uses three powerful layers of deterrence. The first is Presence Simulation, which is vital for Evenwood residents; it learns your habits and mimics them by controlling internal lights, making your home look occupied even when you're out. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they step onto your land. The third layer is Active Intervention: if a threat is confirmed, the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates bright lights. This escalating response is designed to convince any intruder that they have been spotted by a live security presence, causing them to flee.

Privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We use a hybrid model where your Intelligence Hub processes data locally, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced AI tasks and remote access. We never sell your data, and you have total control over your recordings. Your footage is stored for up to 14 days and can be accessed only by you through our encrypted app, ensuring your Evenwood home remains private and secure.

A video doorbell is a reactive device with a very narrow field of view, usually only showing you who is at the door after they've arrived. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary in Evenwood, detecting and deterring intruders before they even reach your house. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from ever stepping onto your property. With features like covered face detection and proactive voice warnings, scOS offers a level of proactive protection that a doorbell simply cannot provide.

Evenwood's location in the Gaunless Valley can make it a target for opportunistic crime. scOS is particularly effective here because its MotionX technology can be deployed to monitor your entire property, including detached garages or sheds. The system's ability to distinguish between a person and a large animal means you get reliable protection for your valuable equipment and vehicles without the annoyance of false alarms common in rural Durham. This ensures that your home is protected by a system that understands the local environment.

Yes, scOS features advanced DVLA Vehicle Recognition. This is particularly useful for Evenwood residents, as it can identify and log the registration plates of any vehicle entering your property. The system checks these against the DVLA database to flag suspicious or cloned plates. If an unfamiliar vehicle is seen 'casing' your home or entering your driveway, scOS can alert you immediately. This provides an extra layer of security for your vehicles and helps identify potential threats before they escalate.

scOS is designed to be incredibly simple to use. You can interact with your system using 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI. Instead of searching through hours of footage, you can just ask, 'Did anyone walk near the garage last night?' or 'What time did the delivery arrive?' The AI will understand your request and provide a summary of the relevant activity. This makes managing your home security in Evenwood as simple as having a conversation, requiring no technical expertise whatsoever.
