Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records crime for you to watch after the fact. scOS is a proactive guardian that uses MotionX technology to identify "important activity" in real-time, ignoring false triggers like wind or animals. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is identified, the system doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice warnings from external IoT speakers to deter the intruder before they can cause damage.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. Our professional UK-based installation team will assess your current setup during their visit. By connecting your "dumb" cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we transform your existing hardware into a sophisticated AI network capable of DVLA vehicle recognition and proactive deterrence, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement while significantly upgrading your security.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation mimics your typical internal activity patterns when you're away, making the home appear occupied. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone crosses your property boundary, even if they are attempting to conceal their face or figure. Finally, the system uses Active Intervention, triggering external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and instant illumination. This combination of looking occupied and reacting instantly to threats makes your home a much harder target for criminals.

We take your privacy seriously, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and only escalated to our secure UK-based data centres when necessary for AI analysis or remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring your footage remains your property and is never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that usually only alerts you once someone is already at your front door. In contrast, scOS provides whole-property intelligence that aims to stop crime before it reaches your entrance. By monitoring your entire boundary and using proactive measures like presence simulation and voice deterrents, scOS identifies and challenges intruders at the edge of your property. While a doorbell provides a video of a crime in progress, scOS is designed to prevent the crime from ever happening.

With property crime in Stanley significantly higher than the national average, scOS provides the proactive response that Durham Constabulary recommends. Our system doesn't just record; it uses escalating voice warnings and light responses to actively drive intruders away. This is particularly effective in high-crime areas where traditional alarms are often ignored by the public but AI-driven, direct intervention is not.

Yes, scOS features advanced DVLA Vehicle Recognition. In Stanley, where vehicle-related crime can be a concern, our system checks the registration plates of vehicles entering your driveway against the DVLA database. It can instantly alert you to cloned plates or unrecognised vehicles, providing an extra layer of protection for your cars and ensuring you know exactly who is approaching your home.

Our professional UK installation team can typically secure a standard Stanley home in just 4 to 6 hours. We handle everything from the wiring to the configuration of the Intelligence Hub, ensuring your system is fully optimised for your specific property layout. Because we prefer wired connections over jam-prone wireless setups, you get a robust, professional-grade security system installed with minimal disruption to your day.
