Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is proactive, acting like a digital security guard for your Gosforth home. Our proprietary MotionX technology is the core difference—it doesn't just see motion; it understands activity. While traditional systems plague you with false alarms from swaying trees or shadows, MotionX ignores the 'noise' and only alerts you to genuine threats. It requires no manual 'tripwires' or zones because the AI automatically learns your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with lights and voice deterrents to stop the intruder in their tracks.

Absolutely. One of the greatest strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. If you already have a wired IP camera system in Gosforth—whether it's Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink—we can usually transform those 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI network. During our professional installation process, which typically takes just 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your current cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub, you gain all our advanced AI features, such as vehicle recognition and presence simulation, without the need to replace your entire hardware setup.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away from Gosforth, the system mimics human activity patterns inside your home to make it appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your property, even if they are trying to hide their face or shape. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If a threat persists, the system triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and activates instant illumination. This escalating response is designed to make any intruder realise they have been spotted and that the property is actively defended.

Privacy is a cornerstone of our service. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for advanced AI analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data remains yours. We never sell your information or footage to 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, ensuring your family's privacy is always protected.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your front door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief before they even reach the porch. We provide 24/7 coverage of your whole perimeter, using AI to distinguish between a delivery driver and a prowler. Furthermore, scOS uses wired connections rather than easily jammed Wi-Fi, providing a level of reliability and proactive intervention that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot match.

With property crime in Gosforth significantly higher than the national average, a standard alarm isn't enough. scOS is designed to prevent the break-in from ever happening. By using MotionX to detect intruders at your property boundary and intervening with voice deterrents and lights, we stop criminals before they touch your doors or windows. Our system provides a proactive layer of intelligence that reactive alarms and passive CCTV simply cannot match, giving you the best possible protection in a high-risk area.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is essential for identifying suspicious cars that may be scouting properties in the Wasdale gateway area. The system logs every vehicle that enters your property and checks its registration against the national database. You can even ask the scOS Director, 'What cars have been on my drive today?' to get an instant report. This data is invaluable for both your peace of mind and for providing high-quality evidence to the Cumbria Constabulary if needed.

scOS is built for reliability. Unlike wireless systems that can fail due to poor signal or be easily jammed by criminals, we use professional wired connections. This ensures your system is always online and recording 24/7. Our Intelligence Hub processes data locally for instant response, meaning that even if your internet connection dips, the core security functions of your home remain active. This 'wired over wireless' philosophy is why scOS is trusted by homeowners who need serious, unshakeable protection.
