Standard CCTV is a passive witness that only records crime as it happens. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' in real-time. It ignores the wind, pets, and shadows, focusing only on genuine human threats. Unlike traditional systems, scOS doesn't require you to set up complex motion zones; it automatically understands your property boundaries and uses escalating light and voice warnings to stop intruders before they can cause damage to your Malton home.

In most cases, yes. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with almost any wired IP camera system, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. Our professional UK installation team will assess your current setup during a single-day installation (usually 4-6 hours) and integrate your cameras into our AI Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade your Malton property to advanced AI monitoring, including DVLA vehicle recognition, without the need for a completely new camera installation.

scOS uses three layers of proactive protection. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside, which is the best way to stop a break-in before it starts. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders even if they are disguised or hiding their faces. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system triggers an escalating response: instant smart lighting followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers, ensuring the intruder knows they have been spotted.

We are a 100% UK-based company, and your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we believe your data belongs to you. The scOS Intelligence Hub processes activity locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure cloud for advanced AI analysis. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. scOS provides full-property intelligence, protecting your entire boundary and detecting threats long before they reach your entrance. While a doorbell might send a notification to your phone, scOS takes autonomous action to deter criminals using AI-driven lights and voice warnings. It’s a comprehensive security solution that offers far more protection than a simple doorbell ever could.

Malton's reputation as Yorkshire's food capital brings many visitors to the town, which can unfortunately mask suspicious activity. scOS uses Activity Pattern Recognition to learn what is 'normal' for your home and alerts you to anomalies. It can distinguish between a delivery driver and someone scouting your property, providing you with an intelligent filter that ensures you only get alerted when it truly matters.

Malton is a beautiful market town with a lower-than-average crime rate, but this can lead to complacency. Opportunistic thieves often target affluent market towns because they expect fewer security measures. scOS ensures you aren't a 'soft target' by providing a visible and audible deterrent that makes it clear your home is protected by high-level AI. It’s about maintaining that peace of mind and ensuring your home remains a safe haven.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask questions like 'Was there any suspicious activity near the back gate today?' or 'What time did the gardener arrive?' It’s like having a digital security guard who has watched every second of your footage and can give you an instant summary, saving you from ever having to manually check hours of video.
