Standard CCTV is a passive tool that records crimes as they happen, often providing little help after the fact. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' in real-time. Unlike traditional systems that are plagued by false alarms from shadows or animals, MotionX is trained to recognise human behaviour and shapes, even if someone is trying to hide. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. Using automatic property boundary detection, it triggers escalating responses like instant lighting and voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This means scOS works to prevent the crime from occurring, rather than just giving you a video of it later.

Yes, scOS is designed to be compatible with most existing wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. Our professional UK installation team can integrate your current 'dumb' cameras into the scOS Intelligence Hub, instantly upgrading them with advanced AI features. During the 4-6 hour installation process, we assess your existing setup to ensure optimal performance. This brand-agnostic approach allows Pickering residents to enhance their home security with MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents without the need for a complete and costly hardware overhaul, making it a cost-effective way to achieve state-of-the-art protection.

scOS uses a three-tier deterrent strategy to keep your property safe. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic your daily habits—like turning lights on and off—making your home look occupied even when you're exploring the North York Moors. If someone does approach, our MotionX technology identifies them immediately, regardless of disguises. This triggers the second layer: Active Intervention. The system automatically activates powerful lighting and delivers authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. These aren't simple two-way audio clips; they are AI-driven responses that escalate if the intruder doesn't leave, effectively deterring them before they can attempt a break-in.

Privacy is a core value at scOS, which is why we are a 100% UK-based company. All your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI analysis locally on your property for maximum speed and privacy. Only necessary data is sent to our secure UK cloud for you to access via our app. We never sell your data to third parties, and you retain full ownership and control over your recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks, ensuring your home's privacy remains absolute.

A video doorbell only alerts you when someone is already at your door, which is often too late to prevent a crime. scOS offers comprehensive property intelligence that monitors your entire boundary. Using AI-driven detection, scOS can spot a suspicious individual the moment they enter your driveway or garden, long before they reach the door. It can identify suspicious behaviours, such as loitering or face concealment, and trigger proactive deterrents like voice warnings and lights. Additionally, scOS is a hardwired system, making it immune to the WiFi jamming techniques that can easily disable many popular video doorbells, providing much more reliable security.

Pickering's role as a gateway to the Moors means a high volume of seasonal traffic, which can mask opportunistic 'casing' of properties. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition that logs every registration plate entering your property. It can distinguish between your regular visitors and unknown vehicles that may be loitering. If a vehicle with a suspicious history or cloned plates is detected, scOS alerts you immediately. This is particularly useful for residents on main thoroughfares like the A170, providing an extra layer of intelligence that helps identify potential threats before they escalate into a theft or burglary.

Rural properties in North Yorkshire often have outbuildings that are vulnerable to theft. scOS uses automatic property boundary detection to protect your entire site without the need for complex manual setup. If the system detects 'important activity' near a shed or stable at an unusual hour, it can trigger a localised voice deterrent and alert you instantly. Because our systems are professionally wired, we can provide stable, high-quality monitoring for buildings located away from the main house, ensuring your tools, equipment, and livestock are protected by the same sophisticated AI that guards your home.

scOS Director is an advanced conversational AI that lets you talk to your security system in plain English. Instead of hunting through hours of video, you can simply ask, 'Did anyone come to the back door today?' or 'What time did the delivery arrive?' The AI understands your property's layout and activity patterns, providing quick and accurate summaries. This is perfect for busy Pickering residents who want to stay informed about their home's security without having to manage complex software, making your home intelligence as easy to use as a standard conversation.
