Traditional CCTV is a passive tool that only records crime after it has happened. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour—while ignoring false triggers like animals, wind, or cobwebs. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't require you to set up complex motion zones; it automatically learns your property boundaries. Most importantly, scOS intervenes. When a threat is detected, it uses lights and voice deterrents to stop intruders before they can cause damage or gain entry to your rural home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. Our professional UK-based installation team can usually integrate your existing cameras into the scOS Intelligence Hub in a single day (4-6 hours). This transforms your current 'dumb' cameras into a smart, proactive network. We will conduct a full assessment during installation to ensure your hardware is compatible and positioned optimally to take full advantage of our AI features, allowing you to upgrade your security without the expense of a completely new camera set.

scOS uses a three-tier deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside while you're away. Second, our MotionX AI detects suspicious activity at your property boundary, even if an intruder is wearing a mask or hood. Third, the system triggers an Active Intervention: external lights flash and authoritative voice warnings are delivered via IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to startle and deter criminals at the perimeter, ensuring they know they've been spotted long before they reach your door or windows.

Your data privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We process intelligence locally on your home's Intelligence Hub before escalating to the cloud, ensuring speed and security. We never sell your data to third parties, and you have complete control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. You can access your data from anywhere, knowing it is protected by the highest UK security standards.

Video doorbells are reactive and limited to a single view of your front door. They are also prone to Wi-Fi jamming. scOS provides comprehensive, whole-property protection using wired connections that cannot be jammed. While a doorbell tells you someone is there, scOS proactively stops them from being there. By monitoring your entire perimeter and using AI to intervene with lights and sound, scOS prevents crime rather than just recording it. For rural properties in Newcastle-under-Lyme, this proactive, perimeter-based approach is far more effective.

Rural properties often face challenges with wildlife and pets triggering false alarms. scOS's MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore animals, wind-blown debris, and cobwebs, focusing only on 'important activity' like human presence. This means you won't be woken up by a fox in the garden or a stray sheep. For residents in rural Newcastle-under-Lyme, this provides a reliable security system that only alerts you when there is a genuine threat, ensuring your peace of mind without the frustration of constant false triggers.

Absolutely. Rural Newcastle-under-Lyme properties often have outbuildings, barns, or garages that are prime targets for theft. scOS provides comprehensive monitoring for these structures, using the same AI-driven detection and deterrents as your main home. Our wired connections ensure a stable and secure link to even the most distant parts of your property, providing a unified security network that protects all your assets. With scOS, you can rest assured that your entire rural estate is under the watchful eye of our intelligent system.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security using natural language. Instead of hunting through hours of video, you can simply ask, 'Was there any activity near the barn last night?' or 'Did the delivery arrive?' The AI understands the context of your property and provides instant answers. This is incredibly useful for rural residents who want to stay informed about their home's security without the hassle of manual monitoring. It’s like having a digital security guard that you can talk to at any time.
