Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Using our MotionX technology, it identifies 'important activity'—specifically human movement—and ignores distractions like wind, shadows, or animals. Unlike other systems, scOS auto-detects your property boundaries without needing manual setup. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action, using automatic lights and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to drive intruders away before they can cause damage. It’s a proactive guard for your home, not just a witness.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. We can transform your current 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network by connecting them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will ensure your existing setup is optimised for our AI features. We prioritise wired connections because they are more secure and cannot be blocked by the WiFi jammers that are becoming common in modern burglaries.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent system. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your daily activity patterns when you're out. Second, MotionX detection identifies suspicious individuals even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third, Active Intervention uses bright lights and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to alert the intruder that they are being monitored. This combination removes the criminal's anonymity and the element of surprise, making your Stanhope home a much less attractive target.

We take data privacy very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Your footage is never sold or shared with third parties. The system uses a hybrid approach, processing most data locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy, and only using the cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often reactive, only alerting you once someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive protection for your entire property, including driveways, side entrances, and gardens. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief before they even reach the porch. With professional-grade AI and active deterrents like external speakers, scOS offers a level of security that a simple doorbell camera cannot match.

Living in Weardale means your security system has to deal with snow, heavy rain, and mist. Traditional motion sensors would be triggered constantly in these conditions. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore these environmental factors, focusing only on human movement. This means you won't get false alarms from a snowstorm or a swaying tree, ensuring your home is protected without the annoyance of constant, meaningless notifications.

Stanhope's rural setting can mean properties are more isolated, making them potential targets for opportunistic theft. scOS is ideal for this because our AI automatically detects your property boundaries. If someone enters your land from a back field or a side path, the system knows instantly. It’s designed to protect the whole perimeter, ensuring that your outbuildings and gardens are just as secure as your front door, even in remote locations.

Yes, scOS features Person Recognition based on behaviour and patterns. It learns to recognise the 'normal' behaviour of family members and regular visitors. If the system detects someone acting out of character—such as loitering by a side gate or peering through windows—it recognises this as an anomaly. This allows the system to remain 'quiet' when your family is home but become highly proactive when a stranger exhibits suspicious behaviour, ensuring your security is intelligent enough to know the difference.
