Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your Scholes home being burgled but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology focuses only on 'important activity.' It understands the difference between a neighbour and a stranger loitering by your car. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. By using property boundary detection, it knows exactly where your land starts and can trigger lights or voice warnings the moment an intruder crosses the line, often stopping a crime before it happens.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes 4-6 hours—our engineers will assess your current setup. We bypass the limited software on your old cameras and link them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub provides the local processing power needed for MotionX and boundary detection, effectively giving your old hardware a 'brain' transplant and bringing it up to modern AI standards.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy to keep Scholes properties safe. The first layer is Presence Simulation; when you're away, the system mimics natural human activity inside your home—turning lights on and off in a realistic pattern—to make the property look occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies a threat the moment they step onto your property, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide. The final layer is Active Intervention. If an intruder persists, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver a clear voice warning and illuminates the area. This escalating response removes the intruder's anonymity and makes your home a 'hard target.'

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many international brands that ship your footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. All initial intelligence processing happens locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub within your home. When a potential threat is detected, encrypted data is escalated to our secure UK-based cloud for further analysis and to ensure you can access your footage from anywhere. 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, ensuring that your security data remains private and secure.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. In contrast, scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view and often misses activity at the side or rear of the house, scOS monitors your entire perimeter. More importantly, doorbells are passive—they might send you a notification while someone is kicking your door in, but they won't stop them. scOS identifies the threat at the boundary of your Scholes property and uses proactive warnings to stop the criminal before they ever reach your front door.

Scholes is a prime commuter village, and unfortunately, this makes it a target for car thieves looking for high-value vehicles. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the registrations of cars near your property against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is detected, you are alerted immediately. Furthermore, our MotionX technology guards your driveway 24/7. If someone approaches your car at night, the system can trigger an escalating response—from turning on lights to a voice warning—stopping the theft before they can even touch your vehicle.

With many Scholes residents working in Leeds or York, homes are often empty during the day. scOS is built for this lifestyle. Our Presence Simulation makes your home look active while you're at work, mimicking natural light and activity patterns. You can also use 'scOS Director' to ask natural questions about your home while you're away, such as 'Was there any activity on the driveway today?' This gives you the peace of mind that your home is being actively guarded, even when you're miles away.

West Yorkshire Police are active in the area, but they need high-quality evidence to make arrests. scOS provides exactly that. Our system doesn't just record video; it provides AI-analysed data on intruder behaviour, vehicle registrations, and even flags when someone is wearing a mask or hood. Because scOS is proactive and often stops crimes before they occur, it reduces the need for emergency call-outs. However, if an incident does happen, you will have 24/7 recorded footage and detailed AI reports ready to assist the authorities in their investigation.
