Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device that only helps after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive security system that uses AI to prevent crime before it happens. The core of our system is MotionX, a revolutionary technology that focuses on 'important activity' rather than just movement. This means scOS won't bother you with alerts for wind-blown trees or local wildlife in Sowerby, but it will instantly recognise a person approaching your home. Unlike standard systems that require manual 'zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, the system doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic lights and voice deterrents, providing a level of active protection that traditional CCTV simply cannot match.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can upgrade almost any existing wired IP camera system. Whether you have Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink cameras installed at your Sowerby property, our Intelligence Hub can take over the feed and apply our advanced AI. During our professional UK installation, which usually takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will integrate your current hardware into the scOS ecosystem. This transforms your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, proactive deterrent system. If your current cameras are outdated or wireless (which can be prone to jamming), we can recommend high-quality wired alternatives that ensure your home has the most robust protection possible.

scOS uses a three-tier approach to stop criminals in their tracks. First is Presence Simulation, which is vital for the quiet streets of Sowerby. The system learns your daily routines and mimics them when you're out—turning lights on and off naturally so your home never looks empty. Second is our MotionX AI, which detects intruders even if they try to hide their faces or move in unusual ways. Third is Active Intervention. If someone enters your property boundaries, scOS triggers external lights and delivers escalating voice warnings through IoT speakers. This immediate response makes it clear to any intruder that they have been detected by an intelligent system, usually causing them to leave immediately before they can attempt a break-in.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is handled in accordance with strict UK GDPR regulations. Your video is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub for maximum speed and privacy, with only critical AI analysis being escalated to our secure UK-based cloud servers. We never sell your data to third parties, and you have total control over who can view your footage. With 24/7 recording and up to two weeks of secure storage, you can access your home's intelligence from anywhere in the world, knowing that your data is protected by the highest standards of British cybersecurity.

A video doorbell is a great way to see who is at your front door, but it offers very little protection for the rest of your property. scOS provides 360-degree intelligence for your entire home. While doorbells often suffer from 'false alarm fatigue' and only record once someone is already at the door, scOS uses MotionX to monitor your boundaries and stop intruders before they even reach the house. For Sowerby residents with larger gardens or driveways, a doorbell simply isn't enough. scOS provides proactive deterrents like voice warnings and presence simulation that a doorbell cannot offer, turning your entire property into a 'no-go' zone for criminals.

Sowerby enjoys a lower-than-average crime rate, but this can often lead to a false sense of security. Professional criminals often target quieter villages specifically because they expect lower levels of security and more 'passive' systems. scOS is designed to combat this complacency by providing a high-level AI guard that never sleeps. By installing scOS, you aren't just reacting to local crime trends; you're ensuring that your home is the least attractive target on the street. Our system's ability to simulate presence and provide active deterrents ensures that even in a quiet area, your home remains proactively protected against opportunistic theft.

Yes, scOS is highly effective at protecting outbuildings, garages, and sheds, which are often targets in more rural North Yorkshire settings. Because scOS uses MotionX AI, it can distinguish between a fox moving near your shed and a person trying to force the door. You can set the system to provide specific voice deterrents for these areas, such as 'Security has been alerted to your presence at the garage.' This is far more effective than a standard alarm, as it intervenes the moment someone steps onto the property, rather than waiting for a door to be breached. This proactive boundary protection is ideal for Sowerby homes with detached buildings.

North Yorkshire Police, like many forces, must prioritise calls based on the evidence provided. Because scOS uses advanced AI to verify threats, it virtually eliminates false alarms. If you receive an alert from scOS, you can be 100% certain it is a genuine event. When reporting an incident, being able to tell the police that you have AI-verified footage of an intruder currently on your property—and that the system is actively challenging them with voice deterrents—can lead to a much faster and more effective response. scOS provides the high-quality, reliable evidence that North Yorkshire Police need to take action.
