Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device; it captures the crime but does nothing to prevent it. scOS is an active intelligence system. Powered by our MotionX technology, it identifies 'important activity'—specifically human movement—and ignores common false triggers like pets, wind, or shadows. 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 Thorngumbald 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.

Thorngumbald is a popular village for commuters to Hull, meaning many homes are empty during the day. Our Presence Simulation is perfect for this; it learns your home's natural patterns and recreates them while you're at work, making the house appear occupied. Combined with our proactive AI that monitors for any unusual activity on your driveway or boundary, you can focus on your workday knowing your home is being actively protected by a system that doesn't just watch, but acts.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition. For residents in Thorngumbald, this means the system can identify the registration plates of vehicles on your driveway or loitering nearby. It checks these against the DVLA database to flag any suspicious or cloned plates. You can even use the scOS Director to ask, 'What cars have been at the house today?' This is particularly useful for protecting high-value vehicles or monitoring for unusual activity in the neighbourhood.

Thorngumbald's low crime rate is a blessing, but it can lead to complacency. Most burglaries in quiet villages are opportunistic. scOS is designed to eliminate the 'false alarm' problem common with older systems. Our MotionX AI ignores pets, birds, and swaying trees, only alerting you when there is a genuine human threat. This means when you do get an alert, you know it's something that requires your attention, keeping your home secure without the annoyance of constant, meaningless notifications.
