Traditional CCTV is a passive system; it records footage of a crime for you to watch later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime before it happens. The key is our MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity' rather than just movement. It doesn't need 'motion masks' to ignore the wind or animals; it's smart enough to recognise a human shape instantly. When scOS detects a threat on your Shardlow property, it doesn't just record—it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to scare off intruders before they can do any harm.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have cameras installed at your home in Shardlow, we can often integrate them into our Intelligence Hub, transforming them from passive recorders into an active AI system. During our professional UK installation (which takes 4-6 hours), our engineers will check your existing hardware to ensure it's compatible. This allows you to benefit from scOS's advanced features, like DVLA vehicle recognition, without the cost of a completely new camera setup.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside while you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they cross your property boundary—which the AI detects automatically. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is confirmed, the system triggers automatic lights and authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. This escalating response makes it clear to any intruder that they have been spotted by an intelligent system, which is a far more effective deterrent than a simple, silent camera.

Your data privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres and support teams are located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data. The system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes video locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for advanced AI tasks and remote access. This ensures that your footage and personal data stay secure and under your control, providing peace of mind for residents in the Shardlow area.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers your front door. scOS provides comprehensive property-wide intelligence. While a doorbell might alert you when someone is already at the door, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including driveways and gardens. It uses AI to distinguish between family and strangers and can even check vehicle registrations against the DVLA database. Furthermore, scOS uses reliable wired connections that can't be jammed like wireless doorbells, offering a much higher level of security for your home in Derbyshire.

Shardlow's historic canal-side location brings a lot of foot traffic, which can unfortunately include opportunistic thieves. scOS is specifically designed to handle high-traffic areas. Our MotionX AI can distinguish between someone walking along the canal path and someone who has actually stepped onto your property. Our Automatic Property Boundary Detection ensures that you only get alerts for activity on your land, while our escalating voice deterrents can warn off anyone who lingers too long in a suspicious manner.

With a property crime rate of 30.00 per 1,000 residents, Shardlow is close to the national average, meaning security should be a top priority. Derbyshire Constabulary data suggests that property crime is a real concern in the area. scOS is designed to be your first line of defence. Our 'Covered Face Detection' and 'Activity Pattern Recognition' are specifically designed to flag suspicious behaviour early, allowing the system to intervene before a break-in can occur, providing essential protection for your home and family.

scOS is designed to be incredibly easy to use. You don't need to be a 'techie' to benefit from it. Our 'scOS Director' feature allows you to ask natural questions about your home, such as 'Has anyone been on the driveway today?' or 'Is everything secure?' It’s as simple as having a conversation. The system also handles all the complex AI tasks automatically, like detecting your property boundaries. We provide a full professional installation and will show you exactly how everything works, so you'll feel completely in control of your home's security.
