UK's first autonomous crime prevention system
Starting from 63p/day

Every time you leave home, there's that nagging worry. Did I lock up properly? Is someone watching the house? You shouldn't have to feel anxious about your own home.
Something happened in the garden last night. Now you're scrubbing through 8 hours of footage trying to find 30 seconds of activity. Life's too short for this.
Your phone buzzes constantly. A cat. Cobwebs. Headlights. After a while you stop checking, which defeats the entire point of having cameras.
Not motion. Not shadows. scOS detects the kind of activity a trained security guard would notice. When your phone buzzes, it matters.
Family, friends, the builder—scOS learns who belongs. No repetitive alerts for familiar faces. Only strangers trigger attention.
Message scOS for pre-edited clips across all cameras, or ask when the bin was last emptied. It's like having staff you can actually talk to.
No hidden fees. No premium tiers. All features included from day one.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Menston
Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is proactive, using our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person approaching your property—rather than just movement like wind or animals. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries and intervenes the moment a threat is detected. It doesn't just watch; it acts to prevent the incident entirely.
Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with almost any existing wired IP camera system, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional installation, we'll assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub, effectively transforming your 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI security network. This allows you to upgrade to world-class intelligence without the cost of replacing all your existing cameras.
scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're away. Second, MotionX detection identifies suspicious behaviour or concealed faces instantly, regardless of how an intruder moves. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers active interventions: automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they've been spotted.
Your privacy is our priority. All scOS data is stored in secure, UK-based data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. Unlike many global brands, we never sell your data or use it for advertising. Initial processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed, with only critical events escalated to our secure UK cloud for 24/7 access. You maintain total control over your footage at all times.
A video doorbell only tells you someone is at your front door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, detecting threats at your boundary before they reach the house. While a doorbell is a reactive tool, scOS is a complete security solution that uses AI to stop crime before it happens, covering every angle of your Menston home, not just the entrance.
Menston’s proximity to Leeds and Bradford makes it a target for high-value vehicle theft. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies cars on your driveway and can flag suspicious or cloned plates. By detecting a potential thief the moment they pull up, scOS can trigger a voice deterrent before they even step out of their car.
Menston has many beautiful stone-built homes where WiFi signals can struggle to penetrate thick walls. scOS uses a fully wired infrastructure, ensuring your security never drops out due to poor signal or signal jamming. Our professional installers are experienced in routing cables neatly and discreetly in traditional Yorkshire properties.
scOS Director is our conversational AI that lets you talk to your home. You can ask, 'Is the side gate closed?' or 'Was there any activity near the garage last night?' It’s perfect for Menston residents who want a high-tech home that is actually easy to use, providing instant answers without needing to be a tech expert.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
