Every time you leave home, there's that nagging worry. Did I lock up properly? Is someone watching the house? You shouldn't have to feel anxious about your own home.
Something happened in the garden last night. Now you're scrubbing through 8 hours of footage trying to find 30 seconds of activity. Life's too short for this.
Your phone buzzes constantly. A cat. Cobwebs. Headlights. After a while you stop checking, which defeats the entire point of having cameras.
Not motion. Not shadows. scOS detects the kind of activity a trained security guard would notice. When your phone buzzes, it matters.
Family, friends, the builder—scOS learns who belongs. No repetitive alerts for familiar faces. Only strangers trigger attention.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Shiney Row and Penshaw
Traditional CCTV is passive; it just records what happens. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology is a revolutionary detection system that focuses on 'important activity'—specifically people—and ignores distractions like wind, rain, or animals. It doesn't need you to set up 'zones'; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes using external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers lights to deter the intruder. It’s like having a security guard who never sleeps, protecting your Shiney Row home 24/7.
Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, we connect your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub. This hub 'upgrades' your cameras with our advanced AI, enabling features like person recognition and covered face detection. This means you can keep your current hardware while benefiting from the proactive, AI-driven protection that scOS provides, all installed in just a few hours by our expert team.
scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal lighting patterns when you're away. Second, MotionX detection identifies intruders the moment they cross your boundary, regardless of how they are dressed. Third, Active Intervention uses external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and activates lighting. By challenging intruders before they even reach your door, scOS removes the opportunity for crime and forces them to move on to an easier target.
Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model: initial AI analysis is done locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy. Only significant events are escalated to our secure cloud. You have total control over your data, and we never sell it to third parties. You can access your 24/7 recordings from anywhere, ensuring your home is always secure.
A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often reactive—alerting you only after someone is already there. scOS provides 360-degree protection for your entire property. It doesn't just notify you; it actively intervenes to stop a crime. Unlike wireless doorbells that can be easily jammed or stolen, scOS is a professionally installed, wired system that is much more reliable. For residents in Shiney Row and Penshaw, scOS offers a level of professional-grade security that a simple doorbell camera cannot match.
Yes, scOS is equipped with Covered Face Detection. Our AI is trained to recognise suspicious behaviour, such as someone wearing a balaclava, hood, or mask to hide their identity. Unlike standard systems that might just record a 'motion event,' scOS identifies this as a high-priority threat. It can immediately trigger an escalating response, such as a direct voice warning from the IoT speakers, letting the intruder know that their attempt to hide has failed and that they are being monitored.
scOS Director is our conversational AI interface. Instead of hunting through hours of video, you can simply ask it questions like, 'What time did the kids get home?' or 'Were there any suspicious vehicles outside today?' It understands natural language and provides instant answers based on the activity it has recorded. For busy families in Shiney Row, it’s like having a personal security assistant who knows exactly what’s happening at your home at all times.
Absolutely. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore 'noise' like animals, swaying branches, or spiders on the lens. The AI focuses exclusively on human-centric 'important activity.' It can recognise a person even if they are crawling or trying to obscure their figure. This means you won't be bothered by false alarms from local cats or the wind, but you will be alerted the second a person steps onto your property in Shiney Row or Penshaw.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
