Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or what they are wearing, without the need for complex motion masks. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. By detecting threats at your property boundary, it can trigger automatic light responses and voice warnings to stop an intruder before they ever reach your door, turning your cameras from a witness into a deterrent.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering our AI over your existing cameras, we provide a cost-effective way to upgrade to world-class home intelligence without needing to replace every piece of hardware on your property. This allows you to keep the equipment you've already invested in while gaining the proactive protection of scOS.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied to anyone watching. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the very edge of your property boundary. Unlike standard systems, it isn't fooled by disguises or unusual movement. Third is Active Intervention. When a genuine threat is detected, the system triggers an escalating response, starting with instant illumination and followed by authoritative warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, AI-driven response signals to criminals that they have been spotted and that the home is actively defended.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your footage and personal information remain your property and are never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that home security should never come at the cost of your personal privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence that stops crime before it happens. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that understands the difference between a delivery driver and a loiterer. Furthermore, doorbells rarely offer proactive deterrents. scOS uses escalating voice warnings and light responses to drive intruders away from your property entirely. It’s the difference between seeing a package thief on camera and ensuring the thief never feels comfortable enough to step onto your driveway in the first place.

In rural areas like Humshaugh, the distance from the nearest police station in Hexham means that a rapid physical response isn't always possible. scOS solves this by being its own first responder. Our AI doesn't just alert you; it actively intervenes the moment a threat is detected at your boundary. By using automatic lights and authoritative voice warnings, scOS can often scare off an intruder before they even attempt to enter your home, providing a vital layer of protection when help is miles away.

Humshaugh is home to many beautiful, historic properties. We understand that you don't want unsightly wires or bulky cameras ruining the look of your home. Our professional UK installation team specialises in discreet setups, ensuring that all cabling is hidden and that the hardware is positioned to be as unobtrusive as possible. Because scOS is brand-agnostic, we can work with a wide range of camera styles to find a solution that provides world-class security without compromising your home's character.

Rural Northumberland is full of wildlife, from deer to pheasants, which can trigger constant false alarms on standard CCTV. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically trained to ignore animals and environmental factors like swaying trees or shadows. It only alerts you to 'important activity'—specifically human and vehicle movement. This means you can enjoy the peace of the countryside without your phone constantly buzzing with false alerts, while still knowing you're fully protected.
