Traditional CCTV is passive; it records footage that you can only use after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Using our MotionX technology, scOS identifies 'important activity'—specifically human and vehicle movement—while ignoring false alarms like pets or wind. Because scOS automatically detects your property boundaries, it can take immediate action, such as turning on lights or issuing voice warnings, the moment someone steps onto your land. It doesn't just record the crime; it works to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation (which takes 4-6 hours), our engineers will connect your existing cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub 'upgrades' your current hardware with our advanced AI capabilities, providing you with proactive protection without the need for a complete system replacement.

scOS uses three layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation mimics your household's activity patterns while you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, MotionX AI detects intruders even if they are masked or trying to hide their shape. Third, the system uses active intervention: if someone crosses your boundary, scOS triggers external lights and delivers authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to deter intruders the moment they step onto your property, long before they reach your door.

Your data security is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Most processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub, and only critical events are sent to our secure cloud. We never sell your data, and you have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell is reactive and only monitors your front door. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary, including driveways and gardens. While a doorbell might alert you when someone is already at your door, scOS detects them the moment they enter your property and uses active deterrents like lights and voice warnings to stop them from ever reaching your house. It’s a complete security solution, not just a doorbell camera.

Hook's proximity to the M62 makes it a potential target for transit-related crime. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the number plates of cars entering your property against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unrecognised car pulls into your drive, scOS identifies the anomaly and can alert you immediately, providing an extra layer of security against opportunistic vehicle theft.

For residents who commute to Hull or Leeds, scOS offers 'scOS Director'—a conversational AI. You can ask, 'Is everything okay at home?' or 'Has the delivery arrived?' and get a natural language response. Combined with Presence Simulation, your home will look and act as if you're there, even when you're miles away at work.

Yes, scOS is ideal for riverside properties. Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, even if they extend towards the water. Any unauthorised movement on your land will trigger the same proactive response as movement near your front door, ensuring your entire property is protected from every angle.
