Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated; scOS is a proactive guardian that intervenes before a crime occurs. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only, such as a person approaching your home. It requires no manual 'tripwires' or 'zones' because it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it reacts with escalating light and voice deterrents to drive intruders away.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security powerhouse. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, you gain all the benefits of MotionX detection and proactive deterrents without needing to replace your entire infrastructure.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals in their tracks. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking natural human activity patterns inside, acting as a powerful passive deterrent while you're away. Second, our MotionX AI constantly monitors for suspicious behaviour, recognising people even if they try to hide their face or change their silhouette. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers active intervention: external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings while smart lighting illuminates the intruder, creating an escalating response that makes your home an impossible target.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. All data processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before escalating to our secure UK-based cloud servers for advanced analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, and unlike many 'smart' home brands, we never sell your data to third parties. You retain full control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure app from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property. Doorbells often suffer from 'notification fatigue' due to false alarms and can be easily bypassed by entering through a side gate or window. scOS provides 360-degree protection, using MotionX to detect intruders anywhere on your land and proactively deterring them before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between seeing a crime happen and preventing it from occurring in the first place.

Queensbury is famous for its high altitude and challenging weather. Standard motion-based cameras often fail here, triggered by heavy snow, fog, or high winds. MotionX is different; it is specifically trained to ignore environmental factors and focus only on human activity. This means your system remains reliable and free from false alarms, even during a Pennine winter.

With many residents commuting to Bradford or Halifax, homes are often left empty during the day. Our Presence Simulation feature uses AI to learn your normal home habits and replicate them while you're out. By simulating internal activity, scOS makes your home look occupied, which is the most effective way to discourage burglars from even attempting a break-in.

Yes, our DVLA Vehicle Recognition is a key feature for Queensbury residents. It can identify vehicles parked outside or entering your driveway, checking them against the national database. This helps identify suspicious vehicles that may be scouting the area, giving you an early warning of potential trouble.
