Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime before it happens. At its core is MotionX, our revolutionary activity detection technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on motion masks and frequently trigger false alarms from spiders, wind, or shadows, MotionX focuses only on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their shape. Because it understands the difference between a fox and a prowler, it can trigger automatic interventions—like lighting and voice warnings—without you ever having to lift a finger. It transforms your security from a simple recording device into a 24/7 digital security guard that never sleeps.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a truly intelligent network. We work with most professional wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX AI and proactive deterrents to your current setup. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI home intelligence without the cost of replacing every camera on your property, provided they meet the necessary technical standards for a wired connection.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation; while you're away, the system simulates human activity patterns inside your home to make it appear occupied, deterring burglars from even considering your property. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your boundary—even if the intruder is wearing a mask or moving stealthily. The final layer is Active Intervention. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it reacts. It instantly illuminates the area with automatic light responses and delivers escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This immediate, AI-driven response signals to the criminal that they have been spotted and that the property is actively defended, usually causing them to flee immediately.

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 primary AI analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced processing or remote access. 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. With scOS, you get the power of advanced AI intelligence with the peace of mind that your private life stays private and protected by UK law.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a comprehensive home intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your gardens, driveways, and side access points. More importantly, scOS is proactive. It doesn't just show you a crime in progress; it uses AI to detect threats and intervene before they reach your door. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS provides a ring of steel around your home that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot match. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a dedicated security team.

Pool-in-Wharfedale is a busy thoroughfare for commuters between Leeds, Harrogate, and Otley. This high volume of traffic can sometimes mask suspicious vehicles scouting the area. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically logs and checks the registration of every vehicle that enters your property's vicinity. It can identify cloned plates or vehicles that have been flagged in the national database. This intelligence is vital for residents on busy roads like the A658, as it allows the system to distinguish between a neighbour turning around and a suspicious vehicle loitering near your driveway, alerting you only when it matters.

The rural nature of Wharfedale means that properties are often surrounded by trees, rivers, and wildlife, which can cause constant false alarms on traditional CCTV. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically trained to ignore 'unimportant' motion like swaying branches, spiders on the lens, or foxes in the garden. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour. Whether someone is walking up your path or trying to crawl through your garden, MotionX will recognise them instantly. This means you won't be woken up by a cat at 2 AM, but you will be alerted the second a person crosses your property boundary.

Village life often involves neighbours, delivery drivers, and friends visiting. scOS uses Person Recognition (based on behaviour and patterns, not biometric facial recognition) to learn who 'belongs' at your property. It can distinguish between your regular postman and a stranger acting suspiciously. You can even use 'scOS Director' to ask, 'Did the gardener come today?' or 'Who was at the gate at noon?' This allows you to stay connected to your home's daily rhythm without being overwhelmed by notifications, ensuring that when the system does alert you, it's for something that truly requires your attention.
