Traditional CCTV is a passive system that simply records what happens, often leaving you with nothing but footage of a crime after it's occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime. The key difference is our MotionX technology, which uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' like human movement, while ignoring false triggers like animals or wind. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't require manual motion masks; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action with escalating deterrents, including lights and voice warnings, to stop intruders before they can enter your home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. Our Intelligence Hub can integrate with your existing cameras, upgrading them with our advanced AI features like MotionX and presence simulation. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure it's compatible. This means you can get the benefits of a cutting-edge AI security system without having to replace all your existing hardware, as long as your cameras are wired for reliability.

scOS uses a three-layer approach to deter criminals effectively. First, Presence Simulation mimics your home's normal activity patterns when you're away, making it look like someone is always home. Second, our MotionX AI detects human threats the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they're wearing masks or trying to hide. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS triggers external lights and delivers clear voice warnings through IoT speakers. These warnings inform the intruder that they've been spotted and are being monitored, which is usually enough to make them flee immediately.

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 data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI analysis locally on your property. Only when a significant event or threat is detected is the data sent to our secure cloud for your review. You have full 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 covers a small area around your front door and often alerts you too late. scOS is a proactive, whole-property security system that monitors your entire boundary. It's designed to stop intruders before they even reach your house. While a doorbell might show you someone at your door, scOS uses presence simulation and active voice deterrents to prevent them from even stepping onto your property. It provides a much higher level of security, ensuring your entire home is protected 24/7 with professional-grade AI.

Mickley’s location near the A61 can make it a target for opportunistic criminals looking for easy access and quick escape routes. scOS addresses this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which reads number plates and checks them against the DVLA database to flag suspicious or cloned plates. If an unknown vehicle is seen loitering near your property, scOS can alert you immediately. This proactive approach allows you to take action before a crime is committed, providing an extra layer of security for your home and vehicles in a well-connected village.

In a close-knit community like Mickley, privacy is important. scOS is designed to respect your privacy while providing top-tier security. We don't use facial recognition; instead, we use behaviour-based person recognition to distinguish between family members and strangers. Most of the AI processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub, so your daily life isn't being constantly streamed to the cloud. You get all the benefits of advanced AI security without feeling like you're under constant surveillance, and you have total control over who can access your data.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that lets you interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask it questions like, 'Was there any unusual activity last night?' or 'Did the delivery driver come today?' It can even provide specific details about people or vehicles it has detected. For Mickley residents, this means you can stay informed about your home's security quickly and easily, without having to watch hours of footage. It’s a smart, intuitive way to manage your security and get the information you need instantly.
