Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, but it does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—specifically human threats—without the need for frustrating motion masks or zones. Unlike standard systems that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, scOS offers zero false alarms by recognising people regardless of their movement or if they are trying to hide their face. When a threat is detected, the system doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. It transforms your security from a witness into a digital guard that prevents the incident from ever reaching your front door.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK-based installation process, 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, we can apply our advanced MotionX AI and proactive deterrents to your current setup, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement while vastly upgrading your home's protection levels.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, our primary passive deterrent that learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the property appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour and recognises people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, if a threat persists, the system initiates active intervention. This starts with automatic property boundary detection—no manual tripwires needed—and triggers instant illumination followed by escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This multi-stage response is designed to convince any intruder that the home is occupied and monitored, forcing them to retreat before a break-in occurs.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many competitors, we never sell your data to third parties. The system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles critical detection locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You maintain total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 with up to two weeks of history accessible from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app. Your home's intelligence stays between you and the system.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed the button or triggered a delayed alert. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system designed to stop crime before it reaches the door. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that understands the difference between a delivery driver and a prowler. By the time a criminal reaches a video doorbell, they are already on your property; scOS identifies them at the boundary and uses proactive voice and light deterrents to ensure they ensure they never get that close. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a digital fortress.

Rural properties on the outskirts of Bradford often have larger boundaries that are difficult to secure. scOS features automatic property boundary detection, which uses AI to understand where your land ends and public space begins. This means you don't have to draw complex lines on a screen; the system knows if someone is just walking past on a rural lane or if they have stepped onto your driveway or garden. This is particularly useful for protecting larger plots where traditional sensors might fail or cause constant false alarms.

Yes, our MotionX AI is specifically trained to ignore animals, which is essential for rural Bradford homes near farms or woodland. Whether it's foxes, badgers, or stray livestock, scOS won't bother you with false alerts. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity'—human presence and vehicle movement. It can even recognise people if they are trying to hide their figure or are wearing hoods and masks, ensuring that your security is focused on genuine threats rather than the local wildlife.

Rural areas can sometimes be targeted by criminals from the city looking for easier targets. scOS uses DVLA Vehicle Recognition to identify any car that enters your property. By checking registrations against the national database, it can flag suspicious or cloned plates immediately. This provides an extra layer of protection for your vehicles and home, ensuring that any 'casing' of your property by unknown vehicles is recorded and deterred with an automatic voice warning before they can return.
