Traditional CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS transforms your security from a passive observer into an active, intelligent guardian. While standard systems rely on basic motion detection—often triggered by spiders, wind, or passing cars—our proprietary MotionX technology focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of their movement or if they are attempting to conceal their identity, effectively eliminating false alarms. Furthermore, scOS doesn't watch; it intervenes. Using automatic property boundary detection, the system identifies threats the moment they step onto your land, triggering instant light responses and AI-driven voice warnings from external IoT speakers. Instead of reviewing footage of a break-in the next morning, scOS ensures the intruder is deterred before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a recording of a crime and preventing one from happening in the first place.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a truly intelligent security network. The system works with almost all professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes between 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our advanced MotionX AI and proactive protection features without the need for a complete hardware overhaul. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security while leveraging the investment you've already made in your property's infrastructure. We prefer wired connections over wireless to ensure the system cannot be jammed or disrupted by common signal interference, providing a robust foundation for your home's intelligence.

scOS employs a sophisticated, three-layer approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal reaches your home. The first layer is Presence Simulation; our AI learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the property appear occupied to any opportunist scouting the area. The second layer is our MotionX detection. Unlike standard sensors, MotionX identifies 'important activity' instantly, recognising people even if they are wearing masks, hoods, or changing their shape to avoid detection. Finally, if a threat is detected within your automatically defined property boundaries, scOS initiates an Active Intervention. This includes instant illumination of the area and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These AI-driven warnings inform the intruder they have been detected and that their presence is being recorded, providing a powerful psychological deterrent that stops most crimes in their tracks before any damage is done.

At scOS, we believe your security data should be as private as your home. Unlike many international competitors, we are a 100% UK-based company. This means all your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the AI analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced processing or remote access. Your footage and personal information are never sold to third parties or used for advertising. You have complete control over your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure app. By keeping everything within the UK legal jurisdiction and focusing on local processing, we provide a level of data sovereignty and privacy that 'off-the-shelf' smart home brands simply cannot match.

While video doorbells are popular, they are fundamentally limited by their field of view and reactive nature. A doorbell camera typically only shows you who is at your front door, often after they have already pressed the button or attempted a break-in. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. Our system monitors your entire boundary, from side gates to rear gardens, detecting threats the moment they step onto your land. While a doorbell might send you a notification that someone is stealing a parcel, scOS is designed to stop the crime from happening. Through Presence Simulation, MotionX detection, and active voice deterrents, scOS intervenes to drive intruders away before they ever reach your door. Furthermore, scOS uses professional-grade wired hardware that cannot be jammed like many wireless doorbells, and it integrates with your entire home's security ecosystem rather than acting as a standalone, isolated gadget.

With property crime rates in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea being higher than the national average, a proactive security system is essential. scOS doesn't just record crime; it actively works to prevent it. Our escalating response system is designed to drive intruders away the moment they step onto your property. By using instant light responses and AI-driven voice warnings, scOS makes it clear to any potential criminal that they have been spotted and are being recorded. This immediate intervention is the most effective way to protect your home in a high-crime area.

Northumbria Police often deal with repeat offenders who know how to bypass traditional security. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically designed to recognise human behaviour and 'important activity,' even if the person is trying to hide their face or move stealthily. This ensures that you get accurate, real-time alerts and high-quality evidence that can be used in police investigations. Our 24/7 recording and secure UK-based data storage mean that your evidence is always available when you need it most.

Yes, scOS is designed to protect your entire property, including gardens, driveways, and side entrances. Our automatic property boundary detection ensures that the AI monitors every inch of your land, identifying threats as soon as they cross the line. This is particularly important in coastal towns like Newbiggin, where properties may have multiple access points. With scOS, you can rest assured that your whole home is under the watchful eye of our intelligent AI.
