Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your Netherne home being burgled but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology focuses only on 'important activity.' It understands the difference between a neighbour and a stranger loitering by your property. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. By using property boundary detection, it knows exactly where your land starts and can trigger lights or voice warnings the moment an intruder crosses the line, often stopping a crime before it happens.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes 4-6 hours—our engineers will assess your current setup. We bypass the limited software on your old cameras and link them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub provides the local processing power needed for MotionX and boundary detection, effectively giving your old hardware a 'brain' transplant and bringing it up to modern AI standards.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy to keep Netherne properties safe. The first layer is Presence Simulation; when you're away, the system mimics natural human activity inside your home—turning lights on and off in a realistic pattern—to make the property look occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies a threat the moment they step onto your property, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide. The final layer is Active Intervention. If an intruder persists, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver a clear voice warning and illuminates the area. This escalating response removes the intruder's anonymity and makes your home a 'hard target.'

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many international brands that ship your footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. All initial intelligence processing happens locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub within your home. When a potential threat is detected, encrypted data is escalated to our secure UK-based cloud for further analysis and to ensure you can access your footage from anywhere. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, ensuring that your security data remains private and secure.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. In contrast, scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view and often misses activity at the side or rear of the house, scOS monitors your entire perimeter. More importantly, doorbells are passive—they might send you a notification while someone is kicking your door in, but they won't stop them. scOS identifies the threat at the boundary of your Netherne property and uses proactive warnings to stop the criminal before they ever reach your front door.

Netherne on-the-Hill’s unique hilltop location and limited access roads make it a distinct environment. scOS uses DVLA Vehicle Recognition to monitor cars entering your property's vicinity. Because there are few ways in and out of the village, our AI can quickly identify vehicles that don't belong or those with cloned plates that may be scouting the area. This provides an extra layer of security for the entire community, as suspicious vehicle activity can be flagged and recorded with high precision, giving you and your neighbours peace of mind.

The seclusion of Netherne is one of its best features, but it can also make residents feel vulnerable to 'covered face' crimes. scOS features advanced Covered Face Detection. Our AI is trained to recognise when someone is intentionally concealing their identity with a balaclava, mask, or pulled-up hood. If such a person enters your property boundaries, scOS doesn't just record it; it immediately escalates the response, triggering voice warnings and alerts to your phone. This ensures that even if someone is trying to hide their face, their presence is known and challenged instantly.

Netherne on-the-Hill is surrounded by beautiful woodland, which often means lots of wildlife and moving trees. Traditional security systems would be overwhelmed by false alarms in this setting. scOS uses MotionX, which is revolutionary because it ignores 'unimportant' motion like swaying branches, foxes, or shadows. It focuses entirely on human activity and intent. This means you won't get nuisance notifications in the middle of the night, but you will be alerted the moment a person steps onto your land, ensuring your security is both reliable and quiet.
