Traditional CCTV is reactive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage of a masked intruder. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands 'important activity.' It ignores the wind in the trees or spiders on the lens, focusing exclusively on genuine threats. When a person is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. By using automatic light responses and escalating voice deterrents from external IoT speakers, it challenges intruders before they reach your door. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex 'motion zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries, providing a 'set and forget' intelligence that actually prevents crime rather than just filming it.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras—such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti—our Intelligence Hub can usually transform them into an AI-powered security powerhouse. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS ecosystem, we 'upgrade' their brains. They stop being 'dumb' cameras that send constant false alerts and start using our MotionX intelligence to identify people, recognise vehicles via DVLA databases, and trigger our proactive deterrents. This saves you the cost of new hardware while providing state-of-the-art protection.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals in their tracks. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away, scOS mimics human activity patterns inside your home to make it look occupied, deterring burglars from even trying. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing a hood or trying to hide their face. Third is Active Intervention. If a threat persists, the system triggers instant illumination and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This 'escalating response' makes it clear to any intruder that they have been spotted and that the property is being actively monitored by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy, with only essential escalations sent to our secure UK-based cloud servers. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your data with 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. Because we use local processing combined with cloud intelligence, you get the best of both worlds: lightning-fast AI response times and the security of knowing your home's data never leaves the country.

A video doorbell is a communication tool; scOS is a security system. Doorbells generally only see what's directly in front of your door and often suffer from 'notification fatigue' due to false alarms from cars or pedestrians. scOS protects your entire property boundary. While a doorbell tells you someone is there, scOS stops them from getting there in the first place. Our system uses AI to recognise the difference between a delivery driver and someone loitering with intent. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and proactive voice deterrents, scOS provides a comprehensive shield for your whole home, not just a small window into your porch.

While Full Sutton is a peaceful village, its rural nature and proximity to the A166 can make it a target for opportunistic crime. Rural properties often have larger boundaries that are difficult to monitor with standard cameras. scOS solves this by automatically detecting your property lines—no more drawing boxes on a screen. Our MotionX AI is specifically tuned to ignore the wildlife and swaying trees common in East Yorkshire, ensuring that if you get an alert, it’s because of a genuine human threat. This is particularly vital for detached homes where a police response might take longer; scOS acts as your first line of defence.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional-grade wired cameras. If your Full Sutton home already has a system installed, we can often integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This 'AI upgrade' means your existing cameras will suddenly gain the ability to recognise family members, detect covered faces, and trigger our external voice deterrents. Our professional installers will handle the entire setup in a single day, ensuring your existing investment is maximised with the latest AI technology.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security as if you were talking to a guard. You can ask natural questions like, 'Was there any suspicious activity near the garage last night?' or 'What time did the gardener arrive?' Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, scOS Director provides instant, intelligent summaries. For residents in Full Sutton, this means you can keep an eye on your property with zero technical hassle, getting the answers you need in plain English.
