Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is proactive. The core difference is our MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour—rather than just simple motion. You don't need to set up complex motion masks; scOS automatically understands your property boundaries. It ignores false triggers like wind, pets, or spiders, and focuses entirely on potential threats. When someone enters your property in Old Tupton, scOS intervenes immediately with lights and voice warnings, deterring them before they can cause any damage or gain entry.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If your Old Tupton home already has a wired camera system, our Intelligence Hub can transform it into a proactive AI network. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will integrate your existing cameras into the scOS system. We use wired connections because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed like wireless systems. This allows you to upgrade to the latest AI security technology while making use of your existing hardware.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your internal activity patterns to make your home look occupied, even when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies human threats regardless of how they are dressed or moving. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder is detected, the system triggers instant lighting and escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response lets criminals know they have been spotted by an active system, which is usually enough to make them leave immediately.

Privacy is a top priority for scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. Your Intelligence Hub processes data locally for speed and security, only using the cloud for storage and remote access. We never sell your data or allow third parties to access your feeds. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere. This ensures that your Old Tupton home's security data remains private and protected.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system that protects your entire boundary. While a doorbell might tell you someone is at the door, scOS uses AI to detect and deter threats before they even reach your house. With proactive deterrents like voice warnings and light responses, scOS offers a much higher level of security for Old Tupton residents than a simple doorbell can provide.

Old Tupton's location near the A61 makes it a target for car thieves who use the main road for a quick escape. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies registration plates and can flag suspicious or cloned vehicles. If a car that doesn't belong in your street starts loitering near your property, scOS can alert you and even trigger deterrents if the driver behaves suspiciously. This is a vital tool for protecting your vehicles and providing the Derbyshire Constabulary with high-quality, actionable intelligence.

As a commuter village, many homes in Old Tupton are empty during the day. scOS is the perfect solution for commuters because of our Presence Simulation and scOS Director features. You can ask the system natural questions like, 'Has anyone been on the driveway today?' and receive an instant, intelligent summary. The system manages itself, simulating your presence to deter opportunists and providing you with 24/7 peace of mind, knowing that your home is being actively guarded while you're at work.
