Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records events but does nothing to stop them. scOS is an active participant in your home's security. It features MotionX, an AI engine that distinguishes between a neighbour walking their dog and someone loitering near your property. Unlike traditional systems that rely on 'motion masks' which often fail, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, scOS takes action—triggering lights and voice warnings from external speakers to drive intruders away. It’s the difference between having a video of a crime and preventing the crime from ever happening.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis. During our professional installation process in Hattersley—which usually takes about 4-6 hours—our engineers will integrate your current cameras with our Intelligence Hub. This instantly upgrades your 'dumb' cameras with our advanced AI features like MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition. It’s a cost-effective way for Derbyshire homeowners to transition from basic recording to a fully proactive AI security system without needing to replace all their existing hardware.

scOS employs a multi-layered deterrent strategy. The first line of defence is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic your typical indoor lighting and activity patterns, making your home look lived-in even when you're out. If someone does approach, MotionX identifies them as a person—even if they are wearing a hood or mask. The system then initiates Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver voice warnings while lights illuminate the area. This escalating response makes it clear to any intruder that they are being monitored by an intelligent system, usually causing them to leave immediately.

We take data privacy extremely seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your footage remains your property and is never sold to third parties. Most processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub to ensure speed and privacy, with the cloud used only for critical alerts and remote access. For residents in the Hattersley area, this means you get world-class AI security with the peace of mind that your private life stays private.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides 360-degree intelligence for your entire property. It detects threats at the boundary of your garden or driveway, long before they reach your house. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your land. For the homes in Hattersley, a doorbell is a minor hurdle; scOS is a comprehensive security solution that protects every corner of your home.

Hattersley’s quiet residential nature means that any unusual activity stands out. scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to ask natural questions about your property. You can ask, 'Director, was there anyone in the garden last night?' or 'Did any delivery vans arrive while I was out?' The AI will instantly review the footage and give you a clear answer. It’s like having a security guard who has watched every second of your footage and can report back to you in seconds.

Hattersley’s proximity to the Peak District means plenty of local wildlife, which can cause constant false alerts on traditional cameras. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically engineered to ignore animals, swaying branches, and even heavy rain. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity'—specifically human movement and intent. Whether it's a fox crossing the lawn or a cat in the garden, scOS remains silent. It only alerts you when it recognises a person, ensuring the system remains a helpful tool rather than a nuisance.

scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which reads the number plates of any vehicle entering your property. It checks these against the DVLA database to identify cloned plates or suspicious vehicles. This is a powerful tool for protecting your cars and identifying potential threats that may be 'casing' the area. You can even set the system to recognise your own vehicles, so you only get alerted when an unknown car enters your driveway, providing an extra layer of security for your vehicles.
