Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device; it captures a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that intervenes in real-time. The core of scOS is MotionX, our revolutionary detection technology that focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means it ignores the wind coming off the Humber, spiders on the lens, or passing animals, resulting in zero false alarms. Unlike traditional systems that require you to draw 'zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, it doesn't just record; it acts by triggering lights and voice warnings to deter the intruder before they can cause any damage.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional installation—which usually takes 4-6 hours—our UK engineers will integrate your existing cameras with the scOS Intelligence Hub. This transforms your current 'dumb' cameras into a proactive AI security system. We prioritise wired connections over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed by intruders. By using scOS, you can upgrade your Hessle home's security to the latest AI standards without having to replace all your existing hardware.

scOS uses three layers of proactive deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your home's normal activity and lighting patterns when you're away, making the property look occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your boundary, even if they are trying to hide their face or shape. Third is Active Intervention: when a threat is confirmed, scOS uses external IoT speakers to deliver authoritative voice warnings and triggers instant illumination. This escalating response lets the intruder know they are being watched by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee before they even reach your door.

Your privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is processed and stored within the UK in compliance with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the AI work locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for escalations and remote access. Your footage is yours alone; we never sell or share it. You can access 24/7 recordings for up to two weeks via our secure app, ensuring you have total control over your home's data at all times.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers your front door and often relies on you being available to answer a notification. scOS is a proactive, whole-property system. It monitors your entire boundary and acts autonomously. While a doorbell might show you someone stealing a parcel, scOS is designed to stop that person from ever stepping onto your property. It uses AI to detect threats and trigger deterrents like lights and voice warnings automatically, whether you're at home, at work, or asleep. For a home in Hessle, scOS provides much more comprehensive protection than a doorbell ever could.

Hessle's proximity to the A63 and the Humber Bridge makes it a potential target for transient crime, where thieves look for quick access in and out of an area. scOS is specifically designed to counter this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition. Our AI can identify registration plates and check them against the database, flagging suspicious or cloned plates immediately. By detecting and deterring intruders the moment they arrive, scOS provides a robust defence against the types of opportunistic property crime that can occur in well-connected towns like Hessle.

Yes, scOS includes 'Covered Face Detection.' Our MotionX AI is trained to recognise people even if they are wearing hoods, masks, or balaclavas. In fact, the system flags suspicious concealment as a high-priority threat. If someone approaches your home in Hessle with their face covered, scOS will immediately recognise this as an anomaly and can trigger an escalating response, such as turning on all external lights and issuing a voice warning, to ensure they know their attempt at anonymity has failed.

scOS is designed to be incredibly user-friendly. You don't need to be a tech expert to use it. The 'scOS Director' feature allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can simply ask it questions like, 'Was there any unusual activity last night?' or 'Did the window cleaner come today?' and it will give you a clear, conversational answer. Our professional installers handle the entire setup in a single day, ensuring everything is working perfectly and showing you exactly how to use the app before they leave.
