Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your property being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses our proprietary MotionX technology to understand what it’s seeing in real-time. Unlike standard systems that plague you with false alarms from swaying trees or passing cats, MotionX ignores the noise and focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they are moving or if they are trying to hide their silhouette. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents to stop the crime before it happens. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

In most cases, yes. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform 'dumb' wired IP cameras from manufacturers like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti into high-intelligence assets. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing infrastructure. By connecting your current cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX detection and proactive response protocols without the need for a total hardware overhaul. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security while leveraging the investment you’ve already made in your home’s wiring and camera placement.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting patterns and replicates them when you’re away, making your home appear occupied to any scout. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the very edge of your property—even if the intruder is wearing a mask or hood. Finally, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This isn't just a notification on your phone; it’s an immediate physical response. External IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings while smart lighting illuminates the intruder. This escalating response ensures that criminals feel 'seen' and monitored long before they reach your front door.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global brands that ship data to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data and intelligence processing are handled by our UK data centres, ensuring full GDPR compliance. We use a hybrid approach: our Intelligence Hub processes much of the activity locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell your information or footage to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you who is at the door once they’ve already arrived. By that point, a determined criminal may have already scouted your side gates or rear windows. scOS provides whole-property protection. It doesn't just watch the front door; it monitors your entire boundary using AI that auto-detects your property lines. While a doorbell might give you a clip of a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. With professional wired installation, scOS is also immune to the 'jamming' techniques that can disable wireless doorbells, providing a far more robust and reliable security shield.

Thornton-le-Dale is one of the most photographed villages in the UK, and we understand that residents want to maintain its 'chocolate box' charm. Our professional installers are experts at placing cameras and external speakers discreetly. We use compact, high-performance hardware that blends into the architecture of stone cottages and traditional buildings. You get the world's most advanced AI protection without compromising the historic beauty of your North Yorkshire home.

Thornton-le-Dale attracts thousands of visitors, which can make it hard to spot someone who doesn't belong. scOS uses 'Person Recognition' to learn the difference between your family, regular visitors, and strangers. It also monitors 'Activity Patterns.' If someone is loitering in a way that is inconsistent with a typical tourist—such as peering into windows or testing gates—the AI flags it as an anomaly. This allows you to enjoy the village's popularity while knowing your home is specifically watching for suspicious behaviour.

Yes, our DVLA Vehicle Recognition is perfect for this. The system can be set to ignore the general flow of traffic through the village but alert you if a vehicle enters your driveway or lingers outside your property. It checks registrations against the DVLA database, helping to identify cloned plates or vehicles that have been flagged for suspicious activity elsewhere in North Yorkshire. This gives you peace of mind that your vehicles and property are being watched by an intelligent eye.
