Traditional CCTV is passive; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive system powered by MotionX, which identifies 'important activity'—like a person lurking—while ignoring distractions like wind-blown trees or sheep in the Yorkshire Dales. When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just send a notification; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to deter the intruder immediately. It’s an active defence system that works to prevent the crime from ever happening.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, or Axis. Our Intelligence Hub can take the feed from your existing cameras and apply our advanced AI layers over them. During your professional installation in Sedbergh, our engineers will check your current setup to ensure it meets the requirements for scOS integration, allowing you to upgrade your security without a total hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a three-tier approach to deterrence. First, Presence Simulation mimics your daily activity inside the house, making it look occupied even if you're out for dinner or away on holiday. Second, MotionX technology identifies suspicious individuals or covered faces instantly. Third, if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers Active Intervention—using bright lights and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to warn them off. This proactive response is designed to stop criminals in their tracks.

Your data security is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your footage is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data is never sold or shared. Processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub for maximum speed, with only critical alerts sent to the cloud. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to 14 days and accessible only by you via our secure app.

A video doorbell only shows you who is at your front door, often when it's too late. scOS provides comprehensive property-wide intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary and detecting threats before they even reach your house. In a rural setting like Sedbergh, where properties often have multiple entry points, scOS offers far superior protection by identifying suspicious behaviour across your whole grounds and taking proactive steps to deter intruders.

In rural areas like Sedbergh, police response times can be longer due to the geography of the Cumbria Constabulary area. scOS bridges this gap by providing immediate, autonomous intervention. By deterring an intruder the moment they step onto your property with lights and voice warnings, scOS often resolves the threat before a physical police presence is even required, providing an essential layer of protection for isolated village homes.

Sedbergh is famous for its weather, but scOS is built to handle it. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore environmental factors like heavy rain, snow, or wind-blown debris that often trigger false alarms in traditional systems. It focuses purely on 'important activity'—human movement and behaviour—ensuring that you only get alerted when there is a genuine reason for concern, regardless of the Cumbrian weather.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security using natural language. You can ask questions like, 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' or 'What time did the delivery arrive?' and get an instant, intelligent response. For busy Sedbergh residents, it’s like having a digital security guard who has watched every second of footage and can give you a summary in seconds, saving you from scrolling through hours of video.
