Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop the crime from happening in the first place. The core difference is our MotionX technology. While traditional systems trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch in the North Wales countryside, MotionX ignores these distractions. It focuses only on 'important activity,' specifically identifying human forms even if they are trying to hide. When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record; it takes action by activating lights and voice deterrents to scare off intruders before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can integrate with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If your Northop home already has a wired camera system, our Intelligence Hub can likely take over the feeds and upgrade them with our advanced AI features. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. This allows you to benefit from scOS's proactive deterrents and person recognition without the need for a complete hardware replacement, making it a smart way to secure your property.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent system. First is Presence Simulation, where the AI mimics your home's normal activity patterns to make it look occupied when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies human intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third is Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver automated voice warnings while lights illuminate the intruder. This escalating response shows the criminal that they are being monitored by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately. It’s about stopping the crime at the boundary.

We are a 100% UK-based company, and your privacy is our top priority. All your data is stored in secure UK-based data centres and we are fully GDPR compliant. Unlike many other security companies, we never sell your data to third parties. Your Intelligence Hub processes data locally for the fastest possible response, only using the cloud for secure storage and remote access. You have full control over your footage, with 24/7 recording available for up to two weeks. For Northop residents, this means your home's security data is protected by the highest standards of British law and privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers your front door; scOS is a proactive, whole-property security system. Most burglars will try to enter through side gates or back windows, which a doorbell can't see. scOS uses multiple wired cameras to create a complete security perimeter that can't be jammed like wireless doorbells. Additionally, scOS actively works to deter intruders using AI-powered voice and light responses, whereas a doorbell simply records them. For a property in Northop, you need the comprehensive, proactive protection that only scOS can provide.

Northop is a beautiful, historic village, and we understand the importance of maintaining its aesthetic. Our professional installers are experienced in working with a variety of property types, including older and listed buildings. We use discreet, high-quality cameras and ensure that all cabling is hidden or run as unobtrusively as possible. Because scOS is brand-agnostic, we can select hardware that best fits the look of your home while still providing the most advanced AI security available in the UK.

Northop's proximity to the A55 makes it accessible to 'commuter crime,' where intruders can quickly enter and exit the village. scOS is specifically designed to counter this. Our DVLA vehicle recognition can flag suspicious cars that are lingering in the area or entering your driveway, and our proactive deterrents stop intruders the moment they step onto your property. By making your home a 'hard target' with visible, intelligent security, you significantly reduce the risk of being targeted by opportunistic criminals using the A55.

Yes, scOS features advanced DVLA vehicle recognition. This is particularly useful for homes in Northop where high-value vehicles may be a target. The system automatically reads the number plates of vehicles that enter your driveway or linger outside your property. It checks these against the DVLA database to identify potential cloned plates or vehicles linked to criminal activity. You can even use our scOS Director AI to ask, 'What vehicles have been seen today?' This provides an incredible level of oversight and helps protect your cars and property from organised theft.
