Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune for later review. scOS transforms your security into a proactive digital guard using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on 'motion masks' and frequently trigger false alarms from swaying trees or passing pets, MotionX focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It understands the difference between a neighbour's cat and a person attempting to conceal their identity. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes instantly with automated light responses and voice deterrents, stopping a crime in Tanfield Lea before it can escalate. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a protector.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. We can take your existing 'dumb' wired IP cameras—whether they are Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti—and give them a sophisticated AI brain. During our professional UK-based installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This local hub processes the data on-site before escalating to our secure UK cloud, effectively upgrading your existing investment into a state-of-the-art home intelligence system without the need for a total hardware overhaul.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage. First is Presence Simulation: while you're out at dinner or away on holiday, scOS learns your normal home patterns and simulates human activity inside, making the property appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces regardless of how a person moves. Finally, if a boundary is breached, the system initiates Active Intervention. This isn't just a notification on your phone; it’s an immediate response where external IoT speakers deliver AI voice warnings and lights illuminate the area. This escalating response ensures that intruders know they have been spotted and are being monitored.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the heavy lifting locally on your property, and only necessary data is escalated to the cloud for remote access and advanced analysis. You retain full control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. We never sell your data to third parties; it remains your private property, accessible only by you through our secure interface.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they’ve already arrived. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell might catch a package thief, scOS uses automatic property boundary detection to monitor your entire perimeter, including side gates and gardens. It identifies threats long before they reach your front door. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and susceptible to signal jamming; scOS prefers wired connections for reliability. While a doorbell records a crime, scOS is designed to prevent it from happening in the first place through proactive AI intervention.

With a local crime rate higher than the national average, Tanfield Lea residents need a system that doesn't just record crime but actively prevents it. scOS uses an Escalating Response model. If someone lingers near your boundary, they receive a polite voice warning. If they persist or cross the line, the warnings become more authoritative and lights intensify. This immediate, escalating feedback is incredibly effective at making criminals move on to an easier, less protected target.

Durham Constabulary is under pressure, and they prioritise incidents with high-quality evidence. scOS provides 24/7 high-definition recording with AI-verified event logs. Instead of handing over hours of useless footage, you can provide specific clips of the 'important activity' identified by MotionX. Our system also includes Covered Face Detection, which flags individuals trying to hide their identity, providing vital intelligence for local investigations.

Yes, scOS is built for reliability. Unlike wireless DIY systems that can be easily jammed or lose signal in older houses with thick walls, scOS uses professional wired connections. This ensures that your security is always online, 24/7, regardless of weather or interference. Our UK-based support team is also on hand to ensure your system is always running at peak performance, giving you one less thing to worry about in Tanfield Lea.
