Traditional CCTV is passive; it records your Hulland Ward home being broken into but does nothing to stop it. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology is the core difference—it doesn't just detect 'motion' (which leads to false alarms from wind or animals), it detects 'important activity.' It recognises people even if they are disguised or moving unusually. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action with automatic lights and voice warnings to deter the intruder. It also includes Presence Simulation to make your home look occupied when you're away, something standard CCTV cannot do.

In many cases, yes. scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras (like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink). If you already have cameras installed at your property in Hulland Ward, our Intelligence Hub can often take over the feed and apply our advanced AI monitoring to it. This allows you to upgrade to a proactive, intelligent system without the expense of replacing all your existing hardware. We will perform a full compatibility check during our professional installation.

scOS uses three layers of AI-driven deterrence. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear lived-in by mimicking your internal activity patterns while you're out. Second, MotionX detection identifies intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, ignoring non-threats like foxes or swaying trees. Third, if an intruder persists, the system triggers an escalating response: bright lights and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This 'active' response makes criminals feel they've been caught in the act, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your data security is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your footage is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike other brands, we never sell your data. The scOS Intelligence Hub processes most information locally at your Hulland Ward home, only using the cloud for secure remote access and advanced AI analysis. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for 14 days and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only monitors your front door. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell might tell you someone is at the door, scOS will have already detected them at the edge of your property and potentially deterred them with voice warnings before they even reached the door. With MotionX, scOS also eliminates the constant false notifications that doorbells are known for, providing a much more reliable and comprehensive security solution for your home.

Hulland Ward’s rural setting means many homes have large gardens or outbuildings. scOS is perfect for this because our AI automatically detects your property boundaries—no need for you to set up complex 'zones.' MotionX is specifically designed to ignore the wildlife and moving vegetation common in Derbyshire, so you won't get false alarms from a fox in the garden, but you will be alerted the second a person approaches your shed or garage.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition. This feature automatically logs the registration plates of any vehicle that enters your property. It checks these against the DVLA database to ensure the vehicle matches its registration, helping to spot 'cloned' plates often used by criminals scouting rural areas. If a suspicious or unrecognised vehicle is detected on your driveway, scOS can alert you immediately, providing an extra layer of protection for your cars and property.

We’ve made scOS incredibly easy to use. With 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, you can simply ask questions about your home security in plain English. You can ask, 'Has anyone been in the back garden today?' or 'What time did the kids get home?' and get an instant answer. There’s no need to spend hours scrolling through footage; scOS does the hard work for you, making it the most intuitive system on the market.
