Standard CCTV is passive; it records a crime for you to watch later. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands 'important activity,' ignoring wind, pets, and shadows while instantly identifying human threats. Unlike traditional systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS works out of the box, using AI to detect your property boundaries automatically. When a threat is detected, the system doesn't just record—it intervenes with lights and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they reach your home.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them into an AI-powered system. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering scOS over your existing cameras, you gain all our advanced features like Presence Simulation and DVLA vehicle recognition without needing to replace every piece of hardware.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're away. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour regardless of whether an intruder is wearing a mask or trying to hide. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive intervention is designed to make criminals leave before a break-in occurs.

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. Unlike many competitors, we never sell your data. The system uses a hybrid approach: our Intelligence Hub processes video locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for advanced AI analysis and remote access. You retain full control over your footage at all times.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. It monitors your entire boundary, detecting a potential intruder the moment they step onto your land, not just when they reach the porch. While a doorbell provides a recording of a crime, scOS is designed to stop the crime from happening in the first place through proactive AI intervention and presence simulation.

Hayfield is a popular starting point for Kinder Scout, which brings many hikers to the village. While this is great for the local economy, it can make it harder to spot someone who doesn't belong. scOS uses Activity Pattern Recognition to learn what 'normal' looks like for your home. If someone is loitering or showing unusual interest in your property rather than just walking past, the AI will flag it as an anomaly and alert you.

Yes, scOS is ideal for Derbyshire properties with outbuildings. Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, including any sheds, garages, or stables. Because we use wired connections, we can ensure a stable link to cameras on outbuildings that might be out of range for standard WiFi systems, providing the same level of proactive protection for your equipment as we do for your home.

scOS Director is our conversational AI. You can ask it natural questions like, 'Was there anyone in the garden while I was at work?' or 'What time did the delivery arrive?' It will search through your footage and give you a plain-English answer. This is much faster than scrolling through hours of video, making it easy to keep an eye on your Hayfield home even when you're busy.
