Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, often leaving you with nothing but footage of a masked intruder. scOS is proactive, using our MotionX technology to identify "important activity"—like a person loitering or a vehicle entering your drive—rather than just motion. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries and uses external IoT speakers and lighting to intervene the moment a threat is detected, stopping crime before it starts.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them into an AI-powered system. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it meets the technical requirements to support our advanced MotionX and vehicle recognition features.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're away. Second, our MotionX technology spots suspicious behaviour regardless of how an intruder moves or if they are wearing a mask. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination from external lights and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they are being monitored.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many "smart" home brands, we never sell your data. The system uses a hybrid approach where the Intelligence Hub processes data locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud for advanced analysis and remote access, ensuring you remain in total control of your footage.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a basic motion sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, recognises vehicles via DVLA databases, and detects suspicious activity like covered faces long before they reach your front door. While a doorbell is a reactive tool, scOS is a complete security solution designed to prevent a break-in from ever occurring.

South Anston’s proximity to the A57 makes it easy for transient vehicles to scout the area. Our system includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks number plates against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or one that doesn't belong in the area is detected loitering near your property, scOS can alert you immediately and initiate a deterrent response.

Absolutely. Our MotionX technology is revolutionary because it ignores the "noise" that plagues traditional systems. In a village like South Anston, wind-blown trees, spiders on lenses, or foxes in the garden won't trigger an alarm. MotionX focuses specifically on human behaviour and "important activity," ensuring that when your phone pings, it’s something that actually requires your attention.

scOS is fully compatible with South Yorkshire Police's digital evidence requirements. Because we record 24/7 and store up to two weeks of high-quality footage, you can easily export time-stamped, AI-verified clips of any incident. Our Person Recognition and Covered Face Detection provide the high-quality intelligence that helps authorities identify and track suspects more effectively than standard grainy CCTV.
