Traditional CCTV is reactive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage of a person in a hoodie. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just look for 'motion' (which leads to endless false alarms from spiders or wind); it identifies 'important activity'. It recognises a human form even if they are crawling or disguised. Because the system understands your property boundaries automatically, it can trigger deterrents the moment a line is crossed. While standard systems wait for you to check an app, scOS is already working to prevent the incident from escalating, using AI that requires no manual 'zone' setup or constant tweaking.

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 from 'dumb' recording devices into proactive AI sensors. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Hub, we can apply our MotionX detection and property boundary AI to your current views, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement while vastly upgrading your home's intelligence and security capabilities.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals before they reach your door. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious behaviour or people attempting to conceal their identity. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected within your auto-detected boundaries, the system triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI-generated voice warnings and activates instant illumination. This escalating response shows the intruder they have been spotted by an intelligent system, not just a passive camera, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data and AI processing are handled by our UK data centres, and we are fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid model where the scOS Intelligence Hub processes data locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary. Your data remains yours; we never sell it to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure, encrypted platform.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back fence. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop the crime before the 'doorbell' stage. By using proactive voice deterrents and presence simulation, we prevent the intruder from even approaching your door. It’s the difference between a digital peephole and having a virtual security guard patrolling your entire perimeter 24/7.

Hebden Bridge is a busy hub for tourists and walkers, which can make traditional motion-based security systems a nightmare of false alerts. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically trained to distinguish between 'normal' activity (like people walking past on the pavement or the Rochdale Canal path) and 'suspicious' activity on your property. It doesn't need you to set up complex zones; the AI automatically understands where your property ends and the public space begins. This means you won't be bothered by alerts every time a tourist stops to admire the view, but you will be notified the second someone steps into your garden.

Hebden Bridge's unique topography, with its steep hills and terraced houses, often creates challenging angles for security cameras. Our professional UK installation team are experts at positioning hardware to maximise coverage on even the most vertical properties. Furthermore, scOS's AI is shape-agnostic; it can recognise a human form even when viewed from a steep downward angle or if the person is partially obscured by the town's characteristic stone walls or foliage. This ensures that your home is protected regardless of its layout or the local terrain.

scOS Director is a conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security as if you were talking to a person. For Hebden Bridge residents, this is incredibly useful. You can ask, 'Director, was there any unusual activity while I was at the Trades Club last night?' or 'Has the delivery driver been today?' The AI will scan your footage and give you a natural language summary of important events. It saves you from scrolling through hours of video, giving you the information you need in seconds.
