Standard CCTV is a passive recording device that only helps you see what you've already lost. scOS is a proactive security partner. It uses our unique MotionX technology, which is designed to identify 'important activity'—specifically people and vehicles—while ignoring common false alarms like seagulls, wind, or cobwebs. Unlike traditional systems, scOS doesn't require you to set up complex motion zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When someone enters your land, scOS doesn't just record; it takes action. Through external IoT speakers and lighting, it delivers an escalating response to deter the intruder. It’s the difference between watching a crime and preventing one, providing Seaham residents with a level of security that traditional cameras simply can't match.

Yes, in most cases. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with the majority of wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If your Seaham home already has a wired system, our Intelligence Hub can likely take over the feed, upgrading your existing cameras with our advanced AI. This means you get features like covered face detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and scOS Director without needing to buy all new hardware. During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup and ensure everything is integrated perfectly, giving your existing cameras a massive intelligence boost.

scOS uses three layers of proactive deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which learns your home's patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the house look occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders with 100% accuracy, even if they are trying to hide their identity with a mask or hood. Third is Active Intervention: if the AI detects a threat on your property, it triggers lights and voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to startle and deter criminals at the boundary, long before they reach your windows or doors. For Seaham homeowners, this means the system is working to stop a break-in before it even starts.

We take your privacy very safely. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid approach: the Intelligence Hub on your property processes most of the AI locally for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud when necessary for remote access or more complex tasks. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. This ensures that your Seaham home is protected by world-class AI while your personal data remains completely private and secure.

A video doorbell only protects your front door and is often reactive—it tells you someone is there, but it doesn't stop them. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary. While a doorbell might show you a package being taken, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from ever getting that close. It uses presence simulation to make your home look occupied and active AI intervention to drive intruders away. Additionally, scOS uses secure wired connections, which are far more reliable than the Wi-Fi used by most doorbells and cannot be jammed. For a Seaham home, scOS offers a professional, comprehensive security solution that a doorbell simply can't provide.

Seaham's coastal environment can be tough on electronics, but scOS is built to last. We use high-quality, professional-grade hardware that is designed to withstand the elements. During our professional UK installation, we ensure all external components, like our IoT speakers, are positioned and installed to handle the salt air and North Sea winds. Our wired approach also ensures that your connection remains stable regardless of the weather, providing you with reliable, 24/7 protection for your coastal property.

Seaham has seen its fair share of vehicle-related issues, and scOS is equipped to help. Our system includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically checks the registration of any vehicle entering your property against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is detected, you'll receive an instant alert. This is a powerful tool for protecting your driveway and ensuring that you know exactly who is approaching your home, providing an extra layer of security for Seaham residents.

Not at all. Our professional UK installation team can have your system up and running in just 4 to 6 hours. We handle everything, from setting up the Intelligence Hub to installing the external IoT speakers and ensuring all wiring is neat and discreet. We also take the time to calibrate the AI to your Seaham property's specific layout, so the automatic boundary detection works perfectly from the moment we leave. It's a quick, professional process that provides you with immediate, high-tech protection.
