Most CCTV systems are passive; they record footage that you can only use after a crime has been committed. scOS is proactive. It uses our MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—specifically human threats—while ignoring false alarms like animals or wind. When scOS detects an intruder crossing your property boundary, it doesn't just watch; it acts. It uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers instant lighting to deter the criminal before they can cause damage. It’s an intelligent, active security guard for your home, not just a camera.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your current setup. We can usually transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent system by connecting them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This allows you to benefit from advanced AI monitoring and proactive deterrents without the expense of replacing all your current hardware.

scOS uses three layers of protection. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your home's natural activity patterns to make it look occupied even when you're out. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies human threats the moment they enter your property, regardless of how they are dressed. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is confirmed, the system triggers instant lights and authoritative voice warnings via external speakers. This combination of making the home look lived-in and providing an immediate, vocal response to intruders is highly effective at stopping crime before it starts.

Your privacy is our priority. 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 processing model where the AI analysis happens locally on your Intelligence Hub, and only critical alerts are sent to the cloud. We never sell your data to third parties, and you have total control over your footage through our secure app. Your data stays yours, protected by UK privacy laws and high-level encryption.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers your front door. scOS provides comprehensive, property-wide protection. It monitors your entire boundary and uses AI to stop criminals before they even reach your door. Unlike many doorbells that rely on Wi-Fi and can be easily jammed, scOS is a wired system for maximum reliability. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from stepping onto your driveway in the first place.

In quiet, rural areas like Mow Cop and Harriseahead, homes can often appear empty during the day or when owners are away. scOS Presence Simulation is a game-changer here. It doesn't just turn lights on and off on a timer; it learns your actual habits and simulates human activity patterns inside the house. This makes your property look genuinely occupied to anyone watching from the outside, which is the single best way to prevent your home from being targeted in the first place.

Rural villages often have more wildlife and environmental movement, which can cause traditional cameras to trigger false alarms constantly. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically designed to ignore 'unimportant' motion like foxes, badgers, swaying trees, or cobwebs. It focuses exclusively on human activity and vehicle movement. This means you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a cat in the garden, but you will be alerted immediately if a person is prowling around your property.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that lets you talk to your security system. You can ask, 'Did any vehicles come up the drive today?' or 'Is everything quiet at home?' It will give you a natural language summary of the day's activity. For residents in the Newchapel area, this provides peace of mind without having to constantly check a live feed. It’s like having a trusted neighbour watching your house and giving you a quick update whenever you need it.
