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 monitors your North Lincolnshire property in real-time. Our proprietary MotionX technology is the core differentiator—it doesn't just look for 'motion' (which leads to false alarms from wind or wildlife), but identifies 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of their movement or if they are trying to hide their figure. Because it understands the difference between a pheasant and a person at your gate, it can trigger automatic interventions like lighting and voice warnings before a break-in occurs. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS works out of the box, automatically detecting your property boundaries and ignoring everything else.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a state-of-the-art AI security network. We support most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like 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. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video feed locally before escalating critical data to our secure UK cloud. This means you don't need to rip out your existing investment to benefit from proactive AI protection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and our escalating response protocols.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals before they reach your door. The first layer is Presence Simulation; the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away—turning lights on and off in a natural way to make the house look occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or people attempting to conceal their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This starts with instant illumination to strip away the cover of darkness, followed by escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These aren't just pre-recorded clips; they are AI-driven deterrents that let the intruder know they have been spotted and identified.

Privacy and data security are at the heart of scOS. Unlike many security companies that outsource data processing to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response, and only critical events are escalated to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data, and you maintain full control over who can access your feeds. Our system provides 24/7 recording with up to two weeks of footage stored securely, accessible only by you through our encrypted app. By keeping everything within the UK—from our support teams to our servers—we ensure that your home's intelligence remains private and protected under the strictest data laws in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door—often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, from side gates to rear gardens. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime, not just record it. While a doorbell might send a notification to your phone while you're busy, scOS takes independent action using light and voice deterrents to scare off intruders. It also features advanced AI like DVLA vehicle recognition to spot suspicious cars on your driveway, providing a level of security that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot match.

While North Lincolnshire enjoys a lower crime rate than the national average, this can often lead to complacency. Rural properties are frequently targeted for high-value equipment, fuel, and vehicles because thieves assume security is lax. scOS is designed to maintain a constant, vigilant watch. Our 'Presence Simulation' is particularly effective here, making your home appear active even when you're out in the fields or away for the weekend. By proactively deterring intruders before they even touch your property, scOS ensures you don't become one of the few statistics in an otherwise quiet area.

Yes, scOS is perfect for properties with multiple buildings. Our AI boundary detection can be configured to cover your main residence as well as detached garages, workshops, or stables. Because we use wired connections, the system is far more reliable over the distances required for rural properties than wireless alternatives. The MotionX technology is also vital here, as it can distinguish between your own livestock moving near a building and a person attempting to gain entry, ensuring you only get alerted when it truly matters.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that makes managing your security as easy as sending a text. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage of the Lincolnshire countryside, you can simply ask, 'Did any delivery vans come by this morning?' or 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' The Director will scan your data and give you an instant, natural language answer. It's like having a security guard who has watched every second of your footage and is ready to report back whenever you need them.
