Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records crime as it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a successful burglary. scOS is a proactive intelligence system powered by MotionX, which ignores 'noise' like wind or animals to focus exclusively on important activity. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries and intervenes the moment a threat is detected. It doesn't just watch; it acts to prevent the crime from ever occurring.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub to unlock features like proactive voice deterrents and presence simulation.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals in their tracks. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside, acting as a powerful passive deterrent. Second, our MotionX technology identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces instantly, regardless of how a person tries to hide. Finally, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers that inform the intruder they have been detected, usually causing them to flee before they reach your door.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. All data is processed through our UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. Unlike many competitors, we never sell your data or use it for third-party marketing. You have total control over your footage, which is stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. We use a hybrid of local processing in your Intelligence Hub and secure cloud escalation for maximum speed and security.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your door—often when it's already too late. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary and identifying threats long before they reach your entrance. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS uses AI to recognise suspicious patterns and intervene with voice deterrents to stop the theft from happening. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a digital security guard.

Todmorden's steep hills and terraced gardens can be a nightmare for traditional motion sensors, leading to constant false alarms. scOS uses MotionX, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just movement. It ignores the swaying of trees or shadows on the hillside, only alerting you when a person is actually on your property, making it perfect for the unique geography of the Calder Valley.

The Pennines are known for their harsh weather, but scOS is built to last. We use high-quality, wired hardware that won't fail in heavy rain or snow. Because our system is wired rather than wireless, it can't be jammed by criminals and doesn't suffer from the signal interference that often plagues wireless systems in stone-built homes.

With property crime rates in Todmorden above the national average, a proactive deterrent is essential. Our escalating response system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings that let intruders know they've been spotted by an AI system. This immediate intervention is often enough to make a criminal turn back before they even attempt to enter your home.
