Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage to show the police after the damage is done. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands it. By focusing on 'important activity'—like a person approaching your property—and ignoring distractions like wind, pets, or shadows, it eliminates the false alarms that plague standard systems. Most importantly, scOS intervenes. When a threat is detected, the system uses escalating responses, including automatic lighting and AI-driven voice warnings from 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.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can often transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a highly intelligent AI network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video feeds locally before escalating critical data to our UK-based cloud, giving your old cameras the power of MotionX detection, vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents without the need for a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals in their tracks. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away, the system learns your normal internal activity patterns and simulates them, making the home appear occupied to anyone watching from the street. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person regardless of whether they are wearing a mask, a hood, or trying to crawl. It recognises the 'important activity' of a human presence instantly. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If an intruder crosses your property boundary, scOS triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By challenging the intruder immediately, we remove the element of surprise and anonymity they rely on.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many security companies that outsource data handling, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub at your property handles the initial AI analysis locally. Only when an 'important event' is detected is the data escalated to our secure cloud for your review and long-term storage. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. We never sell your data, and because we are a UK company, our support and technical teams are always right here when you need them.

A video doorbell is a useful tool for seeing who is at the door, but it is not a security system. It has a limited field of view and usually only alerts you once someone is already standing on your doorstep. scOS provides whole-property protection. Our AI auto-detects your entire property boundary, spotting a potential intruder the moment they step onto your driveway or garden, not just when they ring the bell. While a doorbell might give you a notification on your phone while you're busy, scOS takes action automatically to stop the crime from happening. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection, scOS offers a professional-grade intelligence layer that a consumer doorbell simply cannot match.

Netherton is a popular choice for those working in Wakefield, Leeds, or Huddersfield. When you're away for the day, scOS uses Presence Simulation to ensure your home never looks empty. It learns when you usually turn lights on or move between rooms and mimics these patterns. This is far more effective than simple timers, as it looks natural to anyone watching the property. You can commute with confidence, knowing scOS is actively making your home a less attractive target for burglars who prefer unoccupied houses.

West Yorkshire has seen a rise in sophisticated vehicle thefts. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which scans the number plates of any car entering your driveway. It can cross-reference these with the DVLA database to flag cloned plates or suspicious vehicles. If an unknown car pulls up while you're out, scOS can alert you immediately. Combined with our covered face detection, which flags anyone wearing a balaclava or hood, scOS provides a powerful defence against the organised gangs often responsible for car thefts in the region.

Yes, we have a dedicated team of professional installers covering West Yorkshire. An installation in Netherton typically takes between 4 and 6 hours. Our engineers don't just mount cameras; they configure the scOS Intelligence Hub, set up your property boundaries in the AI, and ensure your external IoT speakers are positioned for maximum deterrent effect. We use wired connections wherever possible to ensure the system cannot be jammed by the WiFi-disrupting tools often used by modern burglars.
