Standard CCTV is a passive tool; it records footage for you to review after a crime has already occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to stop crime in its tracks. MotionX is a revolutionary detection engine that focuses on 'important activity' rather than just pixels moving. It ignores spiders, wind, and animals, focusing purely on human behaviour. When scOS detects a person on your property, it doesn't just record; it intervenes. By automatically triggering lights and delivering voice warnings through external IoT speakers, it alerts the intruder that they are being monitored by an AI system, usually causing them to leave immediately.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and is compatible with most professional wired IP cameras, including those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. This means we can often use your existing Great Haywood security hardware and simply upgrade the 'brain' of the system. During our professional UK installation, which takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will integrate your cameras with the scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub adds our advanced AI, such as MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition, to your current setup. We will assess your existing cameras during installation to ensure they provide the necessary image quality for our AI to function effectively.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making the house look occupied. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies human threats the moment they enter your property, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. The third layer is Active Intervention, where the system automatically turns on external lights and delivers escalating voice warnings through IoT speakers. This combination makes your home an incredibly difficult target, as intruders feel exposed and watched from the moment they arrive.

Your data security is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, with all our data centres, support, and engineering located in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your personal data. Our system uses a hybrid 'Local + Cloud' processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI processing locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and are accessible only by you.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers your front door and is prone to false alarms. scOS is a professional-grade intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. Unlike doorbells, which are often wireless and can be easily jammed, scOS uses secure wired connections. Our MotionX AI eliminates false alarms by focusing only on real human threats, and our system actively intervenes to stop crime before it happens. For a home in Great Haywood, scOS offers a level of comprehensive, proactive protection that a simple doorbell cannot match.

Great Haywood’s location near the Shugborough Estate and the canal network brings many visitors to the area, which can make it difficult to distinguish between a tourist and someone casing your property. scOS features Person Recognition, which learns to distinguish between family members, regular visitors, and strangers based on their behaviour and patterns. If an unrecognised person is loitering near your property or showing suspicious behaviour, scOS can alert you immediately. This allows you to enjoy the vibrant local community while knowing your home is intelligently guarded against those who don't belong.

For homes near the Great Haywood canals, traditional security can be tricky due to the proximity of public towpaths. scOS uses Automatic Property Boundary Detection, which intelligently learns exactly where your private land ends and the public path begins. You don't need to draw complex 'zones'; the AI understands the difference between someone walking their dog on the towpath and someone stepping onto your private property. This ensures you get pinpoint accurate protection for your home without being bombarded by false alerts from the busy canal-side activity.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to talk to your security system. You can ask natural questions like, 'Was there any unusual activity last night?' or 'Did the gardener arrive on time?' The AI will scan your footage and provide a clear, written summary. For Great Haywood residents who may be commuting or out for the day, this provides an effortless way to stay informed about your home's security without having to watch hours of video. It’s like having a personal security assistant who knows your property inside and out.
