Most CCTV systems are passive, meaning they only record footage for you to look at after a crime has occurred. scOS is proactive. It uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—specifically human and vehicle movement—while ignoring distractions like wind, rain, or animals. Unlike traditional systems that require manual 'zones,' scOS automatically learns your Southwell property's boundaries. When it detects an intruder, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with lights and AI voice warnings to deter the criminal before they can cause damage. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a guard.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning it works with almost any professional wired IP camera system, such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink. If you already have cameras installed at your Southwell home, our professional UK installers can integrate them with our Intelligence Hub. This upgrades your existing hardware with our advanced AI features, including person recognition and DVLA vehicle checks. It’s a seamless way to bring state-of-the-art intelligence to your home without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.

scOS employs a three-tier deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied when you're out by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns. Second, our MotionX AI detects suspicious behaviour, even if the person is trying to hide their face or move stealthily. Third, if someone enters your property, the system uses Active Intervention. This involves external IoT speakers delivering clear AI voice warnings and lights flashing to signal that the intruder has been detected. This escalating response is highly effective at stopping opportunistic thieves before they attempt a break-in.

Your data security is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your footage and data are stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model: the Intelligence Hub on your property handles the immediate AI analysis for speed and privacy, while our secure UK cloud is used for remote access and backup. We never sell your data to third parties, and you have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to 14 days.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only monitors your front door. scOS is a full-property intelligence system. While a doorbell might alert you when someone is already at your door, scOS detects them the moment they step onto your driveway or enter your garden. It uses AI to distinguish between family and strangers and can even check number plates against the DVLA database. Most importantly, scOS proactively deters criminals with voice warnings and lights, whereas a doorbell usually just records them as they walk away with your property.

Southwell is a beautiful, affluent town, which unfortunately can make it a target for professional burglars. scOS is specifically designed to detect 'covered face' activity—flagging anyone wearing a mask, balaclava, or hood in a suspicious manner. Combined with our DVLA vehicle recognition, which can spot cloned plates on cars scouting the area, scOS provides a level of protection that goes far beyond standard home security, ensuring your home isn't seen as an easy target.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that makes managing your security as easy as sending a text. You can ask natural questions like, 'Was there any unusual activity while I was at the Minster today?' or 'What time did the gardener arrive?' The Director searches your footage and gives you an instant answer, saving you from scrolling through hours of video. It’s a sophisticated tool that allows Southwell residents to stay informed about their home's security with minimal effort.

We provide a full, professional UK-based installation service. Our engineers will visit your Southwell property and handle everything from mounting cameras to configuring the Intelligence Hub. A typical installation takes between 4 and 6 hours. We use wired connections rather than wireless to ensure the system cannot be jammed by criminals. Once installed, we’ll walk you through the app and show you how to use the scOS Director, ensuring you feel completely confident in your new system.
