Most CCTV systems in Heckmondwike are passive, meaning they only record footage for you to look at after a crime has happened. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. It uses MotionX, which is designed to detect 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means it won't be triggered by wind, cats, or shadows, resulting in zero false alarms. Unlike traditional systems, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries, so you don't need to set up complex zones. When an intruder is detected, scOS intervenes immediately with external voice warnings and light responses, stopping the crime in its tracks rather than just filming it.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have a system at your Heckmondwike home, our professional UK installers can usually upgrade it by connecting it to our Intelligence Hub. This adds our advanced AI, including MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition, to your existing hardware. During our 4-6 hour installation, we'll ensure everything is optimised. We always recommend wired systems over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be defeated by the signal jammers often used by modern burglars.

scOS deters criminals using three layers of proactive protection. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside while you're away. Second, MotionX detection identifies anyone crossing your property boundary, even if they are trying to hide their face or silhouette. Third, the system uses active intervention: if a threat is confirmed, it triggers instant lighting and voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This escalating response tells the criminal that the house is protected by an intelligent system that has already spotted them, which is usually enough to make them flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is 100% UK-based, including our company, support, and data centres. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and only escalated to our secure UK cloud for storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data to third parties. You have complete control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. This ensures that your personal information and home footage stay within the UK and under your control at all times.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only shows you who is at your front door. scOS provides full-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary in Heckmondwike. It is designed to stop crime before it happens, not just record it. While a doorbell might alert you to a person on your porch, scOS will have already detected them at your gate or driveway and initiated a deterrent response. With features like covered face detection and DVLA vehicle recognition, scOS offers a level of security that a simple doorbell camera cannot match.

Heckmondwike has a higher-than-average crime rate, making proactive security essential. scOS is specifically designed to combat the types of property crime seen in West Yorkshire. Our 'Covered Face Detection' is a key feature here; if the system detects someone approaching your home with a balaclava, hood, or mask, it immediately flags this as suspicious and can trigger an escalating response. This ensures that even if a criminal tries to hide their identity, they cannot hide their presence from scOS.

Vehicle theft, often involving cloned plates, is a concern in the Spen Valley. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which reads number plates and checks them against the national database. If a vehicle with suspicious or cloned plates enters your property boundary, the system can alert you instantly. This is a powerful tool for protecting your driveway and ensuring that any vehicle scouting your home is identified and recorded before they can act.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' or 'What time did the delivery arrive?' It’s like having a digital security guard for your Heckmondwike home that you can talk to at any time. This makes managing your home security simple, intuitive, and much faster than traditional systems.
