Standard CCTV is a passive observer that only records crime; scOS is an active intelligence system designed to stop it. In South Bents, where property crime is over four times the national average, you need more than just a recording. scOS uses MotionX technology to detect 'important activity' at your property boundary with zero false alarms. It doesn't just alert you; it intervenes. Using external IoT speakers and automatic lighting, scOS challenges intruders the moment they are detected. It’s the difference between watching a break-in on your phone and preventing it from ever happening.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and can be integrated with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have a security system at your South Bents property, our engineers can often upgrade it by connecting your cameras to the scOS Intelligence Hub. This process takes about 4-6 hours and transforms your existing hardware into a proactive AI system. We always recommend wired connections over wireless to ensure your security cannot be compromised by signal jammers, which is a common tactic used by modern burglars.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns while you're away. Second, MotionX AI identifies genuine threats at your boundary, even if an intruder is wearing a mask or trying to hide. Third, the system provides Active Intervention. This involves triggering external lights and delivering escalating voice warnings through IoT speakers. By detecting and challenging threats at the property line, scOS removes the element of surprise and deters criminals before they can attempt to enter your home.

Your privacy is a top 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 popular security brands that send data to overseas servers, scOS processes intelligence locally on your property before escalating to our secure UK cloud. You have total control over your footage, which is never sold to third parties. You can access your 24/7 recordings for up to two weeks from anywhere in the world via our secure app.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often ignored by determined criminals. In an area with high property crime like South Bents, you need whole-property protection. scOS monitors your entire boundary, including side gates and back gardens, using MotionX to identify suspicious behaviour before anyone reaches your door. While a doorbell might send a notification, scOS takes action with proactive light and voice deterrents. It’s a comprehensive security solution that protects your entire home, not just the parcel on your doorstep.

South Bents' coastal location means security equipment is exposed to salt air and harsh weather. scOS uses professional-grade, wired hardware that is built to withstand these conditions. During our professional installation, we ensure all cabling and connections are properly weather-sealed. Furthermore, our MotionX AI is designed to ignore environmental factors like sea mist, heavy rain, or wind-blown debris, ensuring that your system only alerts you to genuine human threats, providing reliable protection year-round.

With property crime rates in South Bents significantly higher than the Northumbria Police average, a proactive system is essential. scOS doesn't just provide evidence after the fact; its primary goal is to prevent the crime from occurring. The immediate light and voice deterrents are designed to scare off intruders instantly. If a crime is attempted, scOS provides the police with high-quality AI-analysed data, including vehicle registrations and covered face detection, which is far more effective for prosecution than standard CCTV footage.

Yes, scOS is highly effective at protecting the detached garages and outbuildings common in South Bents. Our AI boundary detection can be extended to cover your entire plot. If someone approaches your garage or shed at night, scOS will immediately trigger external lights and voice warnings. This is particularly important for protecting high-value items like cars, bikes, and tools, which are often the primary targets for property crime in the area.
