Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records footage for later review. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop crimes before they happen. The core of our system is MotionX, which identifies 'important activity' rather than just motion. It doesn't need 'motion masks' because it's smart enough to ignore wind, animals, and cobwebs. When scOS detects a person on your property, it initiates an active response with lights and voice warnings, providing a level of protection that traditional cameras simply cannot offer.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation in Steeton, our engineers will assess your existing cameras and integrate them with our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your current 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI network. You get all the benefits of proactive monitoring and AI deterrence without having to replace your entire hardware setup, provided it meets our basic technical standards for resolution and connectivity.

scOS uses a three-layered deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation learns your daily habits and replicates them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, MotionX identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your property boundary, even if they are wearing a mask. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver AI voice warnings and lights illuminate the area. This escalating response ensures that any intruder knows they have been spotted by an active, intelligent system, not just a silent camera.

Privacy is central to scOS. We are 100% UK-based, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and then backed up to our secure cloud. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you. Your home’s security data stays in the UK, protected by the highest standards.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary, including 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 your door. By using MotionX and proactive voice deterrents, scOS identifies and turns away threats long before they become a problem, offering a much higher level of security than a simple doorbell.

Steeton's location near Airedale Hospital and major transport links means there is a lot of transient activity in the area. While the property crime rate is below the national average, the overall crime rate is higher, which can lead to opportunistic incidents. scOS provides a proactive deterrent that makes your home a 'hard target.' By installing scOS, you're ensuring that your property remains one of the safest in the area, discouraging criminals from even considering it as a target.

scOS features MotionX technology, which is specifically designed to ignore 'noise' like passing cars on busy roads or movement in the distance. It focuses purely on 'important activity' within your property boundary. This means you won't be bothered by constant false alarms from the traffic near Steeton, but you will be alerted instantly if someone actually enters your property. This level of precision is what sets scOS apart from traditional motion-based systems.

scOS is designed to be incredibly easy to use. Our 'scOS Director' is a conversational AI that allows you to ask natural questions about your property, like 'Has anyone been to the side gate today?' or 'What time did the delivery arrive?' This makes managing your home security intuitive and simple, providing you with instant information about your Steeton home without having to scroll through hours of footage. It’s like having a digital security guard you can talk to.
