Most CCTV systems are passive—they record footage that you might use after a crime has already happened. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. It uses our proprietary MotionX technology to detect 'important activity' while ignoring false alarms like wind, rain, or animals. Unlike other systems, scOS doesn't require you to draw 'zones'; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automated lights and voice warnings from external IoT speakers to stop intruders before they can act.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have cameras installed at your Millhouse Green home, we can likely upgrade them by connecting them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This 'brain' adds AI capabilities to your existing hardware, including presence simulation and proactive deterrents. Our professional UK installers will assess your current setup during the installation process to ensure everything is perfectly integrated for maximum protection.

scOS uses a three-layer defense strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns—perfect for when you're away from Millhouse Green. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people even if they are disguised or moving stealthily. Third is Active Intervention: if someone crosses your boundary, the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and activates lighting. This escalating response is designed to make intruders feel exposed and monitored, deterring them before they ever reach your door.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in compliance with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub processes data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using the cloud for advanced AI tasks and remote access. Your footage is yours alone; we never sell data to third parties. You have 24/7 access to your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often reactive. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary and intervening before a criminal even reaches your house. While doorbells can be easily bypassed or jammed if they are wireless, scOS uses professional wired connections for total reliability. It’s the difference between seeing who is at the door and having a comprehensive AI security system that actively prevents crime across your entire property.

Millhouse Green is exceptionally safe, but South Yorkshire Police data suggests that even low-crime areas can be targeted by opportunistic thieves who expect residents to be less guarded. scOS is about maintaining that safety. Our system provides peace of mind by ensuring that your home is always 'awake' and monitoring for anomalies. By having a proactive system in place, you ensure that your property remains a hard target, preserving the tranquility of your village life.

Being on the edge of the Peak District, Millhouse Green can experience significant wind and weather. Traditional motion sensors would trigger constantly in these conditions. MotionX is revolutionary because it ignores environmental factors like swaying trees, wind, and rain. It is specifically trained to recognise human forms and behavior, meaning you get zero false alarms regardless of the weather. You only get alerted when there is a genuine human threat on your property.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that lets you talk to your security system. Instead of hunting through footage, you can ask, 'Did anyone come to the back gate today?' or 'What time did the kids get home?' The system understands natural language and provides instant answers based on its activity recognition. It can even distinguish between family members and strangers based on their behavior patterns, making it an incredibly intuitive tool for busy households.
