Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is an active participant in your home's security. While standard systems rely on 'motion masks' that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only. It recognises humans regardless of their movement or if they are attempting to hide their figure, resulting in zero false alarms. Instead of just filming a burglar, scOS uses proactive boundary detection to spot them the moment they step onto your property, triggering an immediate, escalating response to drive them away before they ever reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them from 'dumb' recording devices into proactive AI sensors. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. We focus on wired connections over wireless to ensure your system cannot be jammed by tech-savvy intruders. By integrating your existing cameras into the scOS ecosystem, you gain all our AI features—like MotionX and scOS Director—without needing to replace every piece of hardware you already own.

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 from the street. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone crosses your property boundary—even if they are wearing a mask or hood. Finally, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This isn't just a notification on your phone; scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI-generated voice warnings and activates instant illumination. These escalating responses are designed to convince a criminal that they have been spotted by a live guard, forcing them to retreat.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global competitors, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles immediate AI analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for remote access or advanced processing. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored 24/7 for up to two weeks, ensuring you can access evidence whenever you need it while knowing your private life stays private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS is a proactive, whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back fence. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop the crime before it happens. A doorbell won't simulate your presence inside the house or deliver escalating voice warnings to a prowler in your garden. scOS provides a comprehensive shield, turning your home into an intelligent environment that actively defends itself rather than just a door with a camera.

Keyingham enjoys a very low crime rate, but this can lead to complacency. Criminals often target quiet villages precisely because they expect security to be lax. scOS ensures you aren't the 'easy target' on the street. By having a system that proactively monitors your boundaries and simulates presence, you maintain a high level of protection without needing to constantly worry. It’s about maintaining the peace of mind you moved to the East Riding for, ensuring your home remains as safe as the statistics suggest.

The Holderness peninsula can experience harsh weather and salt air. scOS uses high-quality, professionally installed wired cameras that are built to withstand the elements. More importantly, our MotionX AI is designed to filter out environmental noise. While traditional cameras might trigger false alarms due to heavy rain, sea mist, or wind-blown debris, MotionX ignores these factors and only alerts you when it detects actual human activity. This reliability is essential for coastal and rural environments where weather-related false alarms are common.

The A1033 is a main artery through the village, and unrecognised vehicles can be a precursor to rural theft. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs every vehicle that enters your property's vicinity. It can distinguish between a known neighbour and a stranger's car that has been idling outside your gate. This data is invaluable for identifying 'scouting' activity, allowing you to be proactive rather than reactive if a suspicious vehicle is spotted in the area.
