Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records events for later review. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' in real-time. Unlike standard cameras that trigger on any movement—like a cat or a swaying branch—MotionX is trained to recognise human behaviour and vehicle movement with zero false alarms. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. By automatically detecting your property boundaries and responding with lights and voice warnings, scOS deters criminals before they can even attempt a break-in at your Northallerton home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have a system installed in Northallerton, our UK-based engineers can often integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. During our 4-6 hour professional installation, we'll assess your existing setup and upgrade it with our advanced AI capabilities. This means you can enjoy the benefits of proactive protection and scOS Director AI without having to invest in an entirely new set of cameras.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home appear occupied by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns when you're away. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they step onto your property, even if they are trying to hide their face or movement. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS triggers instant lighting and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This escalating response makes it clear to any intruder that the property is actively monitored and defended.

We are a 100% UK-based company, and your data privacy is our highest priority. All your footage and data are stored in secure UK data centres and are fully GDPR compliant. We never sell or share your data with third parties. scOS uses a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles immediate tasks locally for maximum speed, while our secure UK cloud manages complex AI analysis. You have 24/7 access to your recordings for up to two weeks, ensuring you have total control over your home's security data at all times.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive intelligence for your entire property. It monitors your driveway, side entrances, and gardens, detecting threats long before they reach your door. Unlike a doorbell, scOS also features active deterrents like presence simulation and voice warnings. For Northallerton residents, scOS offers a complete, proactive security solution that protects your whole home, rather than just acting as a digital peephole for your front door.

Despite being a historic market town, Northallerton's property crime rate is significantly higher than the national average. scOS is specifically designed to address this by providing a proactive defence. Our system doesn't just record crime; it intervenes. With features like DVLA Vehicle Recognition and Active Intervention, scOS provides a level of security that traditional systems simply cannot match, ensuring that your home is not just another statistic in the local crime data.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is an essential feature for Northallerton homes, especially during busy market days. The system automatically logs the registration plates of vehicles entering your property's vicinity and checks them against the DVLA database. It can identify if a vehicle's make and model don't match its plates, which is a common tactic for criminals using cloned vehicles. This provides an extra layer of intelligence, helping you and the North Yorkshire Police identify suspicious activity before it escalates into a crime.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to manage your security through simple, natural language. You can ask questions like, 'Director, was there any activity near the garage last night?' or 'Did the delivery arrive at 2 PM?' The AI will scan your footage and provide an immediate answer along with the relevant video clips. It’s an intuitive way to stay connected to your home, making complex security management as easy as having a conversation, whether you're at home or away.
