Standard CCTV records crime; scOS prevents it. Most systems rely on basic motion detection that triggers for shadows or animals, leading to 'notification fatigue' where you eventually ignore your phone. Our MotionX technology is different—it focuses only on 'important activity,' specifically human and vehicle movement. It requires no manual 'zones' because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action: it triggers lights and delivers escalating voice warnings via external speakers. It’s an active deterrent system that manages your security so you don't have to.

Yes, scOS is built to be compatible with the majority of professional wired IP cameras. If you already have a system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, we can usually integrate it directly into our Intelligence Hub. This saves you the cost of new hardware while upgrading your existing cameras with our advanced AI features like DVLA vehicle recognition and MotionX detection. During our professional installation in Holbrook, our engineers will perform a full assessment to ensure your current setup can be fully 'supercharged' by the scOS ecosystem.

We use a three-tiered approach to deterrence. First, Presence Simulation makes your Holbrook home look occupied by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns while you're out. Second, our MotionX AI identifies intruders the moment they cross your boundary, even if they are trying to hide their faces or move stealthily. Third, the system actively intervenes with instant lighting and voice deterrents. These aren't just 'beeps'; they are clear, AI-driven voice warnings from external IoT speakers that let the intruder know they are being monitored, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Privacy is at the core of scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data stays within the UK. Initial processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub, and any data escalated to the cloud is stored in our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data or allow third-party access. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely via our app from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides 360-degree protection for your entire property. It detects a person the moment they enter your driveway or garden, long before they reach your door. Unlike doorbells, which are often reactive, scOS is proactive—it uses lights and voice warnings to stop an intruder in their tracks. For a village home in Holbrook, where side and rear access are often more vulnerable than the front door, scOS offers far superior protection.

For residents in Holbrook who commute to Derby or Nottingham, the driveway is often the most vulnerable point. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which can identify cars entering your property and check their registrations against the national database. If an unrecognised vehicle or one with cloned plates enters your driveway, the system can alert you immediately. Combined with our MotionX detection, it ensures that your vehicles are protected by a system that knows the difference between a neighbour turning around and a genuine threat.

Holbrook is a beautiful, quiet village, but its low crime rate can sometimes lead to a false sense of security. Opportunistic criminals often target Amber Valley villages precisely because they expect older, passive security systems. scOS ensures your home is never the 'easy' option. By using Presence Simulation, your home looks active even when you're at work or away for the weekend, effectively 'de-selecting' your property from a criminal's list of potential targets before they even step foot on your land.

Derbyshire Constabulary, like many forces, prioritises crimes in progress. Because scOS provides proactive deterrence—stopping the intruder before they enter the home—it often removes the need for a police call-out entirely. However, if an incident does occur, scOS provides high-definition, 24/7 recorded evidence that is far more useful to investigators than standard CCTV. Our AI-filtered 'important activity' clips make it easy to find exactly what happened without scrolling through hours of footage of swaying trees.
