Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian that intervenes before a break-in occurs. Our proprietary MotionX technology is the core difference—it doesn't just see 'motion' like spiders or wind-blown trees; it understands 'activity.' It recognises a person's behaviour, whether they are walking normally or trying to conceal themselves, with zero false alarms. While your old system might send you a notification for a passing cat, scOS ignores the noise and only acts when a genuine threat is detected on your Sandiacre property. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a security guard who never sleeps.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can often transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI network. If you have a wired IP system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering our scOS Director AI over your existing cameras, you get all the benefits of proactive protection and DVLA vehicle recognition without needing to replace every piece of hardware you’ve already invested in for your Sandiacre home.

We use a three-layer 'Escalating Response' strategy. First is Presence Simulation: scOS learns your internal lighting patterns to make your home look occupied even when you're out at the pub or away for the weekend. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary—no manual zones required. Finally, if a threat persists, scOS triggers Active Intervention. This isn't just a notification; it’s instant illumination from external lights and authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By the time a criminal reaches your door, they’ve already been spotted, identified, and warned off by an intelligent system.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and then escalated to our secure UK data centres for cloud features. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that to feel truly secure in Sandiacre, you need to know that your private life stays private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door—often when it's too late. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back garden. It uses DVLA vehicle recognition to spot suspicious cars and can detect covered faces before they even reach your house. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the intruder from ever stepping onto your porch in the first place.

Sandiacre’s proximity to the M1 makes it an attractive target for 'highway criminals' who look for easy-access homes with quick escape routes to Nottingham or Derby. scOS counters this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies vehicles that have been loitering or have suspicious registrations. By spotting these threats the moment they enter your street or driveway, scOS provides a level of protection that standard alarms simply cannot match, ensuring your home isn't just another easy stop-off for transient criminals.

For homes backing onto the Erewash Canal, traditional security can be difficult due to the constant movement of water and wildlife. scOS’s MotionX technology is perfect for this environment because it ignores the movement of the canal, swaying trees, or local birds. It only alerts you when it detects human activity patterns. This means you can secure your canal-side boundary effectively without being plagued by false alerts, ensuring your Sandiacre home is protected from every possible angle of approach.

Derbyshire Constabulary does an excellent job, but they can't be everywhere at once. scOS acts as your 24/7 digital sentry. By using voice deterrents and escalating light responses, scOS often scares off intruders before they even attempt a break-in. If an incident does occur, scOS provides Derbyshire Constabulary with high-definition, AI-categorised evidence, including vehicle registrations and person descriptions, which is far more useful for prosecution than standard, grainy CCTV footage.
