Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on 'motion masks' that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced neural networks to identify 'important activity' only. It recognises people regardless of their movement or if they are trying to hide their face, resulting in zero false alarms. Instead of just watching a burglary, scOS uses an Intelligence Hub to detect threats at your boundary and deploy immediate deterrents like automated lighting and voice warnings to stop the intruder before they reach your door.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our local Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX detection and proactive deterrent features without you needing to replace your entire infrastructure, provided the cameras meet basic resolution and connectivity standards.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal touches a handle. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary—even if the person is wearing a mask or hood. Finally, the system initiates an Active Intervention. If a threat is detected, scOS triggers instant external lighting and delivers escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This 'escalating response' makes it clear to the intruder that they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub before being securely escalated to our UK-based data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data remains entirely yours; we never sell or share your information with third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you someone is at the door, but often only after they've already pressed the button or triggered a laggy sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including side gates, gardens, and driveways. More importantly, a doorbell just records; scOS intervenes. By the time a criminal reaches a position where a doorbell would see them, scOS has already identified them, simulated your presence inside, and issued a voice warning to move them away from your home entirely.

While Newhey enjoys a crime rate significantly lower than the national average, its proximity to the M62 makes it an attractive target for 'commuter criminals' looking for quiet, affluent areas with quick escape routes. scOS is designed to ensure your home doesn't become the exception to the rule. Our system provides a 'digital ringfence' around your property, ensuring that even in a peaceful village, any unusual activity is met with an immediate, proactive response. We help you maintain that Newhey peace of mind by ensuring your home is never seen as a 'soft target' for those passing through the area.

Our MotionX technology is specifically engineered for semi-rural environments like Newhey. Traditional motion sensors are often useless in villages because they are constantly triggered by foxes, owls, or wind-blown foliage from the nearby Pennine foothills. MotionX ignores all of this. It is trained to recognise human form and behaviour, meaning it won't alert you to a stray cat in the garden, but it will instantly identify a person loitering near your property line. This 'zero false alarm' guarantee means that when your phone pings, you know it's something that actually requires your attention.

West Yorkshire Police, like many forces, are stretched thin. By the time a standard alarm notifies them of a break-in, the intruders are often long gone. scOS changes the timeline. By deterring the criminal at the boundary using voice warnings and light, we prevent the crime from ever being completed. Furthermore, our DVLA Vehicle Recognition can log the plates of suspicious vehicles scouting the area, providing high-quality, actionable intelligence that is far more useful to local officers than a grainy video of a person in a hoodie.
