Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records footage for later review. scOS is a proactive AI security system designed to stop crime in its tracks. It uses our unique MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity'—specifically human movement—and ignores false alarms from wind, animals, or passing traffic on the A1. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't need you to set up complex motion zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with automatic lights and voice deterrents, actively scaring off intruders before they can enter your home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will integrate your existing cameras with the scOS Intelligence Hub. This 'uplifts' your current hardware, giving it the power of our advanced AI, such as person recognition and DVLA vehicle checking. It’s a cost-effective way to upgrade your home security to a proactive, intelligent system without the need to replace all your existing cameras.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to protect your Tuxford home. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses internal IoT devices to make your home look occupied by mimicking your daily routines—the most effective way to deter burglars. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies anyone entering your property, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. The third layer is Active Intervention, where the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers automatic lighting. This proactive response removes the element of surprise and deters criminals before they reach your home.

Your data privacy is our top priority. 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 scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI work locally on your property, only using our secure cloud for escalation and remote access. We never sell your data, and you have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. This ensures your privacy is protected by UK law and your footage remains for your eyes only.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door and often only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive, proactive protection for your entire property, including gardens, driveways, and side entrances. Unlike doorbells, which can be prone to false alarms and signal jamming, scOS is a professionally installed, wired system that uses AI to actively deter criminals with voice and light responses. It doesn't just show you who's at the door; it stops them from getting there in the first place.

Tuxford's location near the A1 makes it a prime area for transient crime and vehicle theft. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies every car that enters your driveway. The system checks registrations against the DVLA database and can alert you to suspicious vehicles, such as those with cloned plates or cars that don't belong in the area. This proactive monitoring allows you to spot potential 'casing' of your property before a crime is ever attempted, providing an extra layer of protection for your cars and your home.

With Tuxford's crime rate being close to the national average, proactive security is essential. scOS's 'Active Intervention' is designed to stop crimes before they happen. When the system detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just send a notification to your phone; it immediately responds with lights and voice warnings. This instant feedback is often enough to scare off opportunistic thieves who are looking for an easy target. By being proactive, scOS helps keep your home and family safe in an area where crime is a real concern.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Was there any unusual activity last night?' or 'Did the delivery driver leave the parcel in the porch?' It’s like having a digital security guard who knows your home's normal patterns and can give you an instant summary. This is particularly useful for Tuxford residents who want high-level security that is easy to manage and fits into their busy lifestyles.
