Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records footage for later review. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop crimes before they happen. The core of our system is MotionX, which identifies 'important activity' rather than just motion. It doesn't need 'motion masks' because it's smart enough to ignore wind, animals, and cobwebs. When scOS detects a person on your property, it initiates an active response with lights and voice warnings, providing a level of protection that traditional cameras simply cannot offer.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation in Sacriston, our engineers will assess your existing cameras and integrate them with our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your current 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI network. You get all the benefits of proactive monitoring and AI deterrence without having to replace your entire hardware setup, provided it meets our basic technical standards for resolution and connectivity.

scOS uses a three-layered deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation learns your daily habits and replicates them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, MotionX identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your property boundary, even if they are wearing a mask. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver AI voice warnings and lights illuminate the area. This escalating response ensures that any intruder knows they have been spotted by an active, intelligent system, not just a silent camera.

Privacy is central to scOS. We are 100% UK-based, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and then backed up to our secure cloud. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you. Your home’s security data stays in the UK, protected by the highest standards.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary, including side entrances and gardens. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief before they even reach your door. By using MotionX and proactive voice deterrents, scOS identifies and turns away threats long before they become a problem, offering a much higher level of security than a simple doorbell.

Sacriston has a significantly higher property crime rate than the national average, making a proactive security system like scOS essential. Unlike standard CCTV, which only records the crime, scOS is designed to intervene and stop it. Our escalating response system is specifically built to handle high-risk areas, providing a powerful deterrent that can help protect your home and family from the local crime trends. It’s about making your home a 'hard target' that criminals will want to avoid.

scOS features an escalating response system. When a threat is first detected, the system might simply turn on a light. If the intruder persists, the external IoT speakers will deliver a firm AI voice warning. If the behaviour continues to be suspicious, the system can escalate its response further, providing a progressively stronger deterrent. This is designed to make it clear to any intruder that they are being monitored by an active, intelligent system that will not ignore their presence.

scOS is designed to be a powerful deterrent against all types of property crime, including burglary and vehicle theft. Our MotionX technology can identify people even if they are wearing masks or hoods, which is a common tactic for criminals in high-crime areas. By identifying these threats early and using proactive voice deterrents, scOS can stop a crime before it even begins, providing you with a level of security that traditional systems simply cannot match.
