Traditional CCTV is a passive system that simply records what happens. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime before it occurs. It uses MotionX, our advanced AI that identifies 'important activity'—specifically human presence—rather than just motion. This means it won't be triggered by a cat in the garden or a car driving past. When scOS detects a person on your property, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic lights and voice deterrents to warn them off. It’s a complete security solution that acts like a digital guard for your home, providing real-time protection.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and can work with most existing wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your current setup and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your existing 'dumb' cameras into a smart, proactive system. It’s an excellent way to upgrade your security without the expense of replacing all your hardware, bringing the power of MotionX AI and automated intervention to your current camera network.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your internal activity patterns to make your home look occupied when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people even if they are trying to hide their faces or change their silhouette. Third is Active Intervention: if someone enters your property boundary, scOS uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates lights. This immediate, intelligent response tells the intruder that they have been spotted by an active system, which is far more effective at stopping a crime than a simple alarm.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model where our Intelligence Hub handles data locally for immediate response, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. We never sell your data, ensuring that your home's security remains your private business.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and usually only alerts you once someone is already there. In a family-oriented town like Garforth, where properties often have driveways and gardens, you need more comprehensive coverage. scOS monitors your entire property—gardens, driveways, and side entrances. It’s proactive, not reactive; it detects and deters intruders before they ever reach your door. While a doorbell gives you a video of a crime, scOS is designed to prevent the crime from ever occurring.

Garforth's proximity to the M1 and A1(M) can make it a target for vehicle thieves looking for a quick getaway. scOS features integrated DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the registration plates of vehicles entering your property against the national database. This allows the system to flag suspicious or cloned plates immediately. If an unknown vehicle lingers near your driveway, scOS can alert you and even initiate a deterrent response, providing an extra layer of protection for your cars that a standard security system simply cannot offer.

Many residents in Garforth commute to Leeds or York, leaving their homes empty during the day. scOS is designed for this lifestyle. Our Presence Simulation feature makes your home appear active by simulating human movement and lighting patterns inside the house. Furthermore, the scOS Director allows you to check in on your home using natural language. You can ask, 'Has there been any unusual activity today?' and receive a summary of any events, giving you total peace of mind while you're at work or on the commute.

Our MotionX AI is a game-changer for Garforth residents. Unlike older systems that are triggered by every passing cat, swaying branch, or spider on the lens, MotionX is trained to ignore everything except 'important activity'—specifically humans. It recognises people even if they are crawling, running, or wearing masks. This means you won't be plagued by false alarms on your phone, ensuring that when you do get an alert, it’s a genuine security concern that needs your attention.
