Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, often leaving you with grainy footage of a masked intruder that the Northumbria Police cannot use. scOS transforms your security from a witness into a digital guard using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on 'motion masks' and trigger constant false alarms from swaying trees or Northumberland wildlife, MotionX identifies 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour. It recognises people regardless of how they move or what they wear, ensuring zero false alarms. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents to stop the crime before it happens.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have professional-grade wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate them into the scOS ecosystem. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. By connecting your 'dumb' cameras to our AI-driven Hub, we transform them into an intelligent, proactive network. This allows you to benefit from our advanced MotionX detection and escalating response protocols without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided your existing cameras meet the necessary technical standards.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage of an attempted break-in. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your normal internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home appear occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which accurately spots intruders the moment they cross your property boundary—even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, scOS initiates Active Intervention. If an intruder persists, the system triggers instant illumination and delivers authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to unnerve criminals and force them to abandon their attempt long before they reach your door.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy by design' approach to your security. Unlike many international brands that ship your data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then securely backed up to our UK-based, GDPR-compliant data centres. We never sell your data to third parties, and you retain full control over who can access your footage. Our system provides 24/7 recording with up to two weeks of storage accessible via our secure app, ensuring that your most private moments remain exactly that—private. By keeping our operations and data storage within the UK, we ensure the highest standards of data protection and legal compliance.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you someone is at the door, but by then, the intruder is already on your threshold. scOS provides whole-property intelligence that monitors your entire boundary, not just the front step. While a doorbell might capture a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from ever reaching the package. Our system uses proactive AI to detect suspicious behaviour at the edge of your property, triggering deterrents like voice warnings and lights to drive intruders away. Furthermore, scOS uses reliable wired connections rather than easily jammed Wi-Fi, providing a level of professional security that a consumer-grade doorbell simply cannot match.

Rothbury is a popular destination for visitors to the Coquet Valley, and while tourism is great for the village, it can make it easier for strangers to scout properties unnoticed. scOS features Presence Simulation, which is perfect for Rothbury residents who may be away for the day or own a second home in the area. The AI learns your typical lighting and activity patterns and replicates them realistically, making the house look lived-in. This acts as a powerful primary deterrent, as most burglars will bypass a home that appears occupied in favour of an easier, empty target.

Living in a rural village like Rothbury means dealing with wind, rain, and plenty of local wildlife. Traditional CCTV often fails here, sending constant false alerts when a branch moves or a deer wanders past. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically designed to ignore environmental factors and animals. It focuses solely on human movement and behaviour. This means you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a fox in the garden, but you will be alerted instantly if a person is lurking near your outbuildings, providing reliable security that respects the rural Northumberland environment.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security as if you were talking to a guard. You can ask natural questions like, 'Was there any unusual activity near the garage last night?' or 'Did the delivery driver come today?' Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, scOS Director provides instant, intelligent summaries. For Rothbury residents, this is an invaluable tool for staying informed about your property's status without the stress of constant monitoring, allowing you to enjoy the peace of the village while knowing scOS has everything under control.
