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.

While Hemingbrough enjoys a lower crime rate than the national average, its proximity to the A63 makes it accessible to opportunistic criminals from larger nearby towns. Rural villages can often be seen as 'soft targets' because residents feel safe enough to leave windows open or outbuildings unlocked. scOS ensures you don't become a statistic by providing 24/7 AI vigilance that never gets complacent, protecting your home and any detached garages or workshops.

Absolutely. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is particularly useful for residents near the A63. The system can check the registration of any vehicle entering your driveway against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a known suspicious history is detected, scOS can alert you immediately and trigger a deterrent response, ensuring that transient traffic doesn't pose a threat to your property.

Yes. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore the 'noise' of rural life. While traditional cameras might be triggered by a fox in the garden or a tree blowing in the wind, scOS focuses only on 'important activity.' It recognises the human form even if someone is trying to crouch or cover themselves, ensuring that you only get alerted when there is a genuine security concern.
