Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, which is often too late. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Using our proprietary MotionX AI, the system understands the context of movement, distinguishing between a stray animal and a person attempting to conceal themselves. Unlike standard systems that require you to manually draw 'motion zones'—which are often inaccurate—scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a security guard.

In most cases, yes. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with high-quality wired IP cameras from manufacturers like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing setup. We install the scOS Intelligence Hub, which connects to your cameras and transforms them from 'dumb' recording devices into an intelligent, AI-powered network. This allows you to keep your existing hardware while gaining world-class features like MotionX detection and DVLA-linked vehicle recognition without the need for a total system overhaul.

scOS uses a three-tier strategy to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're away. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies 'important activity' at your property boundary, even if an intruder is wearing a mask or a hood. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If someone enters your property, scOS triggers an escalating response: instant illumination followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By the time a criminal gets near your home, they know they've been spotted and that the system is actively tracking them.

We take your privacy incredibly seriously. Unlike many global brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and then escalated to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. By keeping everything within the UK, we ensure the highest standards of data protection and provide you with a system you can truly trust.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is already at your door. scOS is a proactive perimeter defense system. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from ever reaching your porch. We monitor your entire property boundary, not just the front door. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and prone to signal jamming or battery failure. scOS uses professional wired connections and advanced AI like MotionX to ensure zero false alarms and 24/7 reliability that a doorbell simply cannot match.

With property crime rates in Jarrow being significantly higher than the national average, proactive protection is essential. scOS doesn't just record crime; it stops it. Our escalating response system uses AI to detect intruders at your boundary and immediately intervenes with lights and voice warnings. This active approach is designed to make criminals choose an easier target, providing a level of security that passive CCTV simply cannot offer in high-risk areas.

Yes, scOS is equipped with 'Covered Face Detection.' If someone approaches your property wearing a balaclava, mask, or hood to hide their identity, our AI immediately flags this as high-risk behavior. The system can then trigger an instant deterrent response, such as turning on all external lights and issuing a firm voice warning. This ensures that anyone trying to remain anonymous knows they have been spotted and that their presence is being recorded.

scOS uses DVLA-linked vehicle recognition to monitor your driveway 24/7. It can identify suspicious vehicles that may be scouting the area or checking for high-value cars. If an unrecognised vehicle enters your property, scOS can alert you immediately and even check the registration against the DVLA database to flag potential cloned plates. This is a vital feature for Jarrow residents looking to protect their vehicles from organised theft.
