Traditional CCTV is passive; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is an active intelligence system. Most cameras flood you with false alerts from wind, rain, or animals, but our MotionX technology ignores these, focusing only on 'important activity.' It automatically recognises your property boundaries and identifies people regardless of their movement or if they are trying to conceal their identity. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it uses external IoT speakers and lighting to warn the intruder off. It’s like having a digital security guard for your Horbury home that never sleeps and never gets distracted.

Yes, scOS is designed to be compatible with most existing wired IP camera systems. If you already have cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink installed at your Horbury property, our scOS Intelligence Hub can likely take control of them. During our professional installation—which usually takes 4-6 hours—our UK-based engineers will integrate your current hardware into our AI network. This allows you to benefit from advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and presence simulation without the need for a full hardware overhaul, making it a cost-effective way to achieve elite-level home security.

scOS uses a three-tier approach to keep intruders away. First, Presence Simulation uses AI to mimic your typical home activity, making it look like you're in even when you're out at the shops or commuting. Second, our MotionX AI detects anyone crossing your boundary, even if they are wearing a balaclava or hood. Third, the system initiates an Active Intervention: triggering lights and escalating voice warnings through external speakers. This immediate response tells the criminal that the house is 'smart' and they have been spotted, which is the most effective way to make them move on to an easier target.

We take your privacy seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike other systems that send your video to overseas servers, scOS processes your intelligence locally on the Hub and only uses the cloud for secure backup and remote access. You own your data, and we never sell it. You can access your 24/7 footage from the last two weeks at any time through our app, giving you total peace of mind that your West Yorkshire home is secure.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and often misses the 'important activity' happening at the side or back of your house. Furthermore, doorbells are reactive—they tell you someone is there, but they don't stop them. scOS provides 360-degree protection for your entire Horbury property. It uses AI to detect threats before they reach the door and uses active deterrents like voice warnings to stop them. While a doorbell is a gadget, scOS is a professional-grade security infrastructure that protects your whole home, not just your deliveries.

Horbury’s proximity to the M1 makes it a target for vehicle thieves looking for a quick escape. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies every car that enters your driveway. It can check registrations against the DVLA database to spot cloned plates or vehicles that shouldn't be there. If a suspicious vehicle is detected, you get an instant alert. This proactive approach is essential for protecting your cars from the sophisticated 'relay' thefts that are becoming more common in West Yorkshire.

Yes, scOS is designed to work perfectly in the varied housing of Horbury, from traditional terraces to newer detached homes. Our AI automatically learns your property boundaries, so it knows exactly where your land ends and the pavement begins. This means you won't get alerts every time a neighbour walks past your house, but you will be notified the second someone steps onto your property. It’s a 'set and forget' system that provides high-level security without the constant annoyance of false alarms.

West Yorkshire Police often deal with high volumes of property crime. scOS helps by providing high-quality, AI-tagged evidence that is easy to navigate. With our scOS Director, you can simply ask, 'Show me any strangers in the garden from Tuesday,' and get the footage instantly. This clear, undeniable evidence of an intruder's appearance and behaviour is far more useful to the police than hours of grainy, unorganised CCTV footage, significantly increasing the likelihood of an arrest and successful prosecution.
