Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune for later review. scOS transforms your security into a proactive digital guard using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on 'motion masks' and frequently trigger false alarms from swaying trees or passing pets, MotionX focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It understands the difference between a neighbour's cat and a person attempting to conceal their identity. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes instantly with automated light responses and voice deterrents, stopping a crime in Newton and Blackwell before it can escalate. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a protector.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. We can take your existing 'dumb' wired IP cameras—whether they are Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti—and give them a sophisticated AI brain. During our professional UK-based installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This local hub processes the data on-site before escalating to our secure UK cloud, effectively upgrading your existing investment into a state-of-the-art home intelligence system without the need for a total hardware overhaul.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage. First is Presence Simulation: while you're out at dinner or away on holiday, scOS learns your normal home patterns and simulates human activity inside, making the property appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces regardless of how a person moves. Finally, if a boundary is breached, the system initiates Active Intervention. This isn't just a notification on your phone; it’s an immediate response where external IoT speakers deliver AI voice warnings and lights illuminate the area. This escalating response ensures that intruders know they have been spotted and are being monitored.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands, 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: our Intelligence Hub handles the heavy lifting locally on your property, and only necessary data is escalated to the cloud for remote access and advanced analysis. You retain full control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. We never sell your data to third parties; it remains your private property, accessible only by you through our secure interface.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they’ve already arrived. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell might catch a package thief, scOS uses automatic property boundary detection to monitor your entire perimeter, including side gates and gardens. It identifies threats long before they reach your front door. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and susceptible to signal jamming; scOS prefers wired connections for reliability. While a doorbell records a crime, scOS is designed to prevent it from happening in the first place through proactive AI intervention.

Newton and Blackwell's proximity to the M1 makes it an easy target for transient criminals who can be miles away in minutes. scOS counters this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition. Our system logs every vehicle that enters your street and checks for cloned plates or suspicious patterns. By identifying these vehicles early and alerting you to anomalies, scOS helps you stay one step ahead of criminals using the motorway network to scout for targets.

Derbyshire Constabulary values high-quality, actionable intelligence. scOS provides clear, AI-verified evidence of any suspicious activity. Our system doesn't just record; it categorises events, making it easy to find and share clips of specific individuals or vehicles. With features like Covered Face Detection, you can provide the police with vital information that standard CCTV systems often miss, helping to keep the Newton and Blackwell community safer.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras. If you already have a system installed in your Newton or Blackwell home, our engineers can often integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your existing cameras into a proactive AI-driven system, saving you money on hardware while significantly upgrading your home's security.
