scOS is a proactive security system, whereas traditional CCTV is reactive. Most CCTV systems simply record footage for you to look at after a crime has been committed. scOS uses MotionX, our advanced AI, to detect 'important activity' in real-time. This means it ignores common false alarm triggers like spiders on the lens or wind-blown debris in the Calder Valley, focusing only on genuine human threats. Unlike traditional systems that require you to set up 'zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder in their tracks.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can integrate with most existing wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. Our professional UK-based installers will assess your current cameras during the installation process to ensure they are compatible with our Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade your home to a full AI-powered security suite without the need to purchase entirely new camera hardware, making it a cost-effective way to bring state-of-the-art protection to your Mytholmroyd home.

scOS uses a three-tiered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your home's natural activity patterns (like lights turning on and off) to make it look like someone is home, even if you're commuting to Leeds or Manchester. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they are moving or if they are trying to hide their face. Third is Active Intervention, where the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers automatic lighting. This escalating response is designed to convince any potential intruder that the risk of being caught is too high, causing them to leave before they even attempt a break-in.

Your data security and privacy are our top priorities. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK. We process your video locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and only use our secure UK cloud for advanced AI tasks and remote viewing. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your data with third parties. You have full access to your 24/7 recordings for up to two weeks, and you can interact with your system through our secure app, knowing your privacy is protected.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers your front door. scOS is a proactive, whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from ever stepping onto your property. By monitoring all boundaries and using AI to detect suspicious behaviour, scOS provides much broader protection. Furthermore, scOS uses professional wired connections, which are far more reliable than the Wi-Fi connections used by doorbells, which can be easily jammed by sophisticated criminals.

Mytholmroyd is a popular commuter village, and criminals often target homes they know will be empty during the day. scOS's Presence Simulation is specifically designed for this. It doesn't just use simple timers; it learns your actual habits and replicates them, making your home look lived-in while you're at work. Combined with our MotionX AI that monitors for any unusual activity while you're away, scOS provides the peace of mind that your home is being actively guarded, even when the valley is quiet during the working week.

Yes, scOS features scOS Director, a conversational AI that allows you to ask natural questions about your property. You can ask things like, 'Was there any activity in the garden while I was at work?' or 'Did the delivery driver come today?' It's like having a security guard you can talk to. This makes managing your home security incredibly simple and intuitive, allowing you to get the information you need without scrolling through hours of footage. It's the perfect tool for busy Mytholmroyd residents who want quick, accurate updates on their home's status.

Mytholmroyd's property crime rate is 29.48, which is close to the national average. This means that while the village is generally safe, property crime is a real and present risk. West Yorkshire Police are often stretched, so having a system that proactively deters criminals is a significant advantage. scOS doesn't just provide evidence after the fact; it actively works to ensure your home is never the victim of a crime. By making your property a 'hard target' through AI-driven deterrents, you significantly reduce the likelihood of being targeted in the first place.
