Traditional CCTV in New Brancepeth is often a passive system that only records footage for you to look at after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. We use MotionX technology, which is designed to identify 'important activity'—like a person approaching your property—while ignoring 'noise' like pets, swaying trees, or wind. Unlike standard systems that require you to manually set up motion zones, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. Most importantly, scOS intervenes. If an intruder is detected, the system uses automatic lights and voice deterrents from external speakers to warn them off immediately. It’s the difference between having a recording of a burglary and preventing one from ever happening.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems. If you already have cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with them. During our professional UK-based installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS platform, you'll upgrade them with our advanced AI features, including MotionX detection, presence simulation, and proactive deterrents. This is a great way to bring state-of-the-art intelligence to your home without the need for a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a three-layer approach to keep your home secure. The first layer is Presence Simulation: the AI learns your home's activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the house look occupied. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies people based on their behaviour and movement, even if they try to hide their face. The third layer is Active Intervention. If an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers an escalating response, starting with automatic lights and moving to clear voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By letting an intruder know they've been spotted before they even reach your door, scOS stops the crime in its tracks.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, with all our data centres and support teams located right here in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes most data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis or remote access. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, ensuring your home is protected while your data remains private and secure.

A video doorbell is a useful tool for seeing who's at the door, but it's not a complete security solution for a village home. Doorbells are passive; they might record a theft, but they don't prevent it. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your entire perimeter and detecting threats long before they reach your house. Furthermore, scOS uses professional-grade wired cameras, which are much more reliable than wireless doorbells that can be affected by signal interference or battery failure. scOS is designed to stop crime in its tracks, providing a level of security that a doorbell simply can't match.

New Brancepeth is a quiet village, and we want to help keep it that way. One of the biggest frustrations with traditional security is the 'false alarm'—the siren that goes off because of a cat or a gust of wind. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically trained to ignore animals, cobwebs, and weather. It only alerts you to 'important activity,' like a person entering your garden. This means you can trust the system completely, and your neighbours won't be disturbed by unnecessary noise. It’s intelligent security that respects the peace of the village.

If you ever have a question about what’s happening at home, you can simply ask. scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask things like, 'Was there anyone in the garden this morning?' or 'What time did the delivery arrive?' It’s like having a digital security guard who has watched every second of your footage and can give you an instant summary. This makes managing your home security in New Brancepeth incredibly simple and intuitive, without having to scroll through hours of video.

scOS features advanced DVLA Vehicle Recognition. Our AI doesn't just see a car; it reads the registration plate and checks it against the DVLA database in real-time. This allows the system to identify suspicious vehicles or those with cloned plates that may be scouting the area. If an unrecognised or flagged vehicle lingers near your property, scOS can alert you immediately and even initiate a proactive deterrent response. This is a powerful tool for protecting your vehicles and identifying potential threats before they act, which is especially useful in quiet village locations.
