Every time you leave home, there's that nagging worry. Did I lock up properly? Is someone watching the house? You shouldn't have to feel anxious about your own home.
Something happened in the garden last night. Now you're scrubbing through 8 hours of footage trying to find 30 seconds of activity. Life's too short for this.
Your phone buzzes constantly. A cat. Cobwebs. Headlights. After a while you stop checking, which defeats the entire point of having cameras.
Not motion. Not shadows. scOS detects the kind of activity a trained security guard would notice. When your phone buzzes, it matters.
Family, friends, the builder—scOS learns who belongs. No repetitive alerts for familiar faces. Only strangers trigger attention.
Message scOS for pre-edited clips across all cameras, or ask when the bin was last emptied. It's like having staff you can actually talk to.
No hidden fees. No premium tiers. All features included from day one.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Royston (Barnsley)
Standard CCTV is a passive observer that only records a crime after it's already happened. In an area like Royston, where crime rates are above the national average, you need a system that takes action. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses our proprietary MotionX technology to identify "important activity"—like a person lurking near your car—while ignoring false alarms like wind or animals. It automatically detects your property boundaries and, when a threat is identified, it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder before they can cause any harm.
Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have a camera system at your Royston property, our Intelligence Hub can often integrate with it, instantly upgrading your "dumb" cameras with advanced AI capabilities. During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your existing setup to ensure compatibility. This allows you to get the full power of scOS intelligence without the need for a completely new hardware installation.
scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent system. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside while you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers instant lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach is designed to convince a criminal that they've been spotted and that it's time to leave, protecting your Royston home more effectively than a simple alarm.
Your privacy and data security are our top priorities. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model where our Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI work locally on your property for speed and privacy. Only when necessary is data escalated to our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis or remote access. We never sell your data, and you have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks.
A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. In Royston, where property crime is a concern, you need more comprehensive protection. scOS provides proactive, 360-degree intelligence for your entire property. While a doorbell might show you someone stealing a parcel, scOS detects intruders the moment they step onto your driveway or into your garden and actively works to deter them. It offers a professional-grade security perimeter that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot match.
With Royston's property crime rate at 29.20, having a system that actively deters criminals is essential. scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to catch suspicious behaviour, and our escalating voice warnings are a powerful deterrent. By making it clear to any intruder that they are being monitored by an intelligent system, scOS significantly reduces the likelihood of your home becoming a statistic in South Yorkshire Police's crime reports.
Vehicle theft is a common concern in Barnsley. scOS includes integrated DVLA vehicle recognition, which logs every registration plate that enters your property. It can identify cloned plates and flag vehicles that have been seen loitering in the area. If an unrecognised vehicle pulls onto your driveway at night, scOS can alert you immediately and trigger a deterrent response, providing an extra layer of protection for your cars and peace of mind for you.
Our scOS Director feature is a conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask questions like "Was there any suspicious activity last night?" or "When did the kids get home?" This makes managing your home security simple and intuitive, giving you a clear overview of your property's safety without having to scroll through hours of footage. It's like having a digital security guard on duty 24/7 for your Royston home.
