Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, often too late to do anything. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology focuses only on 'important activity.' It recognises people and vehicles regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their face. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. By using automatic property boundary detection, it knows exactly where your land starts. If a threat is detected, it triggers instant light responses and voice warnings through external IoT speakers to deter the intruder before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can often transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes just 4 to 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video feed locally before escalating important events to our UK-based cloud for deeper analysis. This saves you the cost of a full hardware rip-and-replace while giving you access to cutting-edge AI features like MotionX and scOS Director. It’s the smartest way to upgrade your County Durham home’s security without starting from scratch.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy to stop criminals in their tracks. The first layer is Presence Simulation. This makes your home appear occupied even when you’re out—perhaps shopping at Dalton Park—by simulating natural human activity patterns inside the house. The second layer is our MotionX detection. Unlike basic sensors, MotionX identifies people even if they are wearing masks or hoods, ensuring no threat goes unnoticed. Once a person crosses your property boundary, the third layer—Active Intervention—kicks in. This involves an escalating response: first, instant illumination to let the intruder know they’ve been spotted, followed by clear voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By removing the element of surprise, scOS stops crime before it happens.

Privacy is at the core of scOS. Unlike many international brands that send your footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then securely backed up to our UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we believe your data belongs to you. We never sell your information or allow unauthorised access. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. By keeping everything within the UK—from our support teams to our servers—we ensure that your home’s intelligence remains private, secure, and under your total control at all times.

A video doorbell is a great tool for seeing who is at the door, but it is not a security system. Most doorbells only trigger when someone is already on your doorstep, and they often suffer from 'notification fatigue' due to false alarms. scOS provides whole-property protection. It monitors your entire boundary, not just the front door, and uses MotionX to eliminate false alarms from pets or wind. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS offers a level of proactive intelligence that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot match. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a fortress.

Murton faces a significantly higher crime rate than the national average, particularly in property crime. In this environment, passive recording is simply not enough. scOS is designed for high-risk areas. Our MotionX technology is trained to recognise suspicious behaviour, such as 'covered face detection' for those wearing balaclavas or hoods. When a threat is detected, the system doesn't just send a notification; it actively intervenes with lights and voice warnings. This immediate, proactive response is the most effective way to protect your home in an area where crime is a persistent issue.

Murton’s proximity to Dalton Park means there is a high volume of transient traffic and people in the area. scOS uses DVLA Vehicle Recognition to monitor every vehicle that enters your property's vicinity. It checks registrations against the DVLA database, identifying cloned plates or vehicles flagged for suspicious activity. This is a vital tool for residents near major retail hubs, providing an extra layer of intelligence that helps you stay one step ahead of opportunistic criminals who may be using the busy local traffic as cover.

Durham Constabulary is under significant pressure due to the high local crime rates. scOS acts as your first line of defence, providing the immediate intervention that the police cannot always guarantee. By scaring off intruders with light and voice deterrents, scOS often prevents the crime from ever happening. If an incident does occur, scOS provides 24/7 recording and detailed event logs. This high-quality evidence—including vehicle registrations and clear person descriptions—is invaluable to the police, significantly increasing the chances of a successful investigation and recovery of property.
