Standard CCTV is a passive recording device; it only helps you see what you've already lost. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. It uses our MotionX technology to detect 'important activity'—like a person approaching your home—while ignoring false alarms like swaying trees or local wildlife. Unlike other systems, scOS doesn't require you to set up complex 'zones'; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action with lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder before they can break in.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. It works with most professional wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. If you already have a wired system in your Tockwith home, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with it, upgrading your existing cameras with our advanced AI features. Our professional UK-based installation team will assess your current setup during the 4-6 hour installation process to ensure everything works seamlessly with the scOS ecosystem.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your daily activity patterns inside the house to make it look occupied when you're out. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they enter your property, even if they are trying to hide their identity. Third is Active Intervention, where external IoT speakers deliver AI voice warnings and lights are triggered to illuminate the intruder. This escalating response is designed to deter criminals by showing them the property is actively monitored.

Your privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We use a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub on your property handles most AI tasks locally for speed and privacy. Data is only sent to our secure UK cloud when necessary for remote access or advanced analysis. You have full control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides 360-degree protection for your entire property. It can detect a suspicious vehicle using DVLA recognition or spot an intruder at the back of your garden before they ever reach a door. Furthermore, scOS uses professional wired connections that are much more reliable and harder to jam than the wireless signals used by most doorbells. It’s a complete security solution for your whole home.

Tockwith is a safe village, but its location between York and Harrogate can make it a target for commuters or those passing through. scOS's Presence Simulation is perfect for Tockwith residents who work in the nearby cities. It learns your normal 'at home' behaviour and replicates it while you're at work, making your house look occupied throughout the day. This is a powerful deterrent against burglars who scout for empty homes during working hours.

Yes, scOS features scOS Director, a conversational AI that makes managing your security easy. You can ask it questions like, 'Who has been at the front door today?' or 'Are there any unusual activities I should know about?' and it will give you a natural language summary. This is much easier than scrolling through hours of footage and allows you to stay informed about your Tockwith home's security with just a simple question.

Our professional UK installation team handles the entire setup, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours for a home in Tockwith. We prioritise wired connections because they are more secure and cannot be jammed like Wi-Fi systems. Our engineers will install the Intelligence Hub, connect your cameras, and set up the external IoT speakers. We'll also walk you through how to use the system and the scOS Director AI before we finish, ensuring you're fully protected.
