Most CCTV systems are passive, meaning they only record a crime while it is happening, leaving you to deal with the aftermath. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop the crime from occurring in the first place. At its core is MotionX, our advanced AI that identifies 'important activity'—specifically human threats—while ignoring animals, wind, and shadows. Unlike traditional systems, scOS requires no manual setup of motion zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS takes immediate action using external IoT speakers and lighting to warn the intruder off, providing a level of active protection that standard cameras simply cannot provide.

Yes, scOS is designed to be compatible with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. This means we can often upgrade your existing Ironville home security setup with our advanced AI without needing to replace all your hardware. Our professional UK installers will spend 4-6 hours at your property, setting up the Intelligence Hub and ensuring your current cameras are perfectly integrated. We focus on wired systems because they are far more reliable and secure than wireless alternatives, which can be easily jammed by modern burglars. By using scOS, you transform your existing cameras into a proactive, intelligent security network.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer approach to deterrence. The first layer is Presence Simulation, where the AI learns your home's internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're out, making the house look occupied. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders even if they are wearing masks or hoods, or trying to stay low to the ground. The third layer is Active Intervention: if an intruder crosses your boundary, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and switches on bright lights. This immediate, autonomous response signals to the criminal that they have been caught by a sophisticated system, usually forcing them to flee before they can attempt a break-in.

We take your privacy and data security very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK-based data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub on your property handles most of the AI processing locally, ensuring your data stays private and the system responds instantly. Data is only sent to our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis or when you want to view your footage remotely. We never sell your data to third parties, and you have complete control over your recordings through our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only shows you who is at your front door, often after they've already arrived. scOS provides proactive, 360-degree protection for your entire property, including gardens, driveways, and side entrances. While a doorbell might alert you to a visitor, scOS uses MotionX to detect and deter intruders before they even reach your door. Furthermore, scOS is a professional, wired system that offers 24/7 recording and intelligent intervention, whereas doorbells are often wireless and can be easily bypassed or disabled. scOS is a complete security solution, not just a digital peephole.

Ironville has a unique mix of residential and industrial areas, which can sometimes lead to increased foot traffic and vehicle movement. scOS is perfect for this environment because its MotionX AI is specifically trained to ignore 'noise' and focus only on genuine threats. It won't be triggered by passing cars or people on the pavement, but it will instantly recognise if someone enters your property or lingers suspiciously near your vehicles. This precision ensures you only get alerted when it truly matters, providing peace of mind without the annoyance of false alarms.

Vehicle theft is a concern in many parts of Derbyshire. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically scans the number plates of any vehicle entering your driveway. It checks these against the DVLA database to identify cloned plates or unauthorised vehicles. If a suspicious vehicle is detected, scOS can immediately alert you and initiate its deterrent protocols, such as turning on lights and delivering a voice warning. This proactive approach helps protect your cars and vans from being targeted by organised theft rings.

Derbyshire Constabulary does an excellent job, but they cannot be everywhere at once. scOS acts as your home's own private security guard, providing an immediate response the moment a threat is detected. The system's autonomous voice and light deterrents work in milliseconds, often scaring off intruders before they can even attempt to enter. This immediate intervention is your best defence, providing a crucial layer of protection that works 24/7, regardless of police response times.
