Traditional CCTV is passive; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses AI to intervene. Our MotionX technology identifies 'important activity'—such as a person lurking or a vehicle entering your drive—while ignoring false alarms like animals or wind. Unlike standard systems, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries without needing manual 'zones.' When a threat is detected, scOS responds instantly with automated lighting and voice deterrents to drive the intruder away. It’s the difference between watching a burglary on your phone and preventing it from ever happening.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, we connect your existing cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This 'brains' of the system upgrades your current hardware with advanced AI features like person recognition and covered face detection. Our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure optimal performance, allowing you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the need for a completely new camera installation in your Upper Poppleton home.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your home's normal activity patterns when you're away, making it look occupied. Second is our MotionX AI, which accurately detects intruders even if they are disguised or moving stealthily. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers immediate lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive response makes it clear to the criminal that they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee before they can attempt a break-in.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most AI tasks locally on your property. Data is only escalated to our secure UK cloud when a potential threat is detected. You have full ownership of your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to 14 days. We never sell your data, ensuring your home life remains private.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often a reactive device—it tells you someone was there after they've already arrived. scOS provides comprehensive protection for your entire property, including gardens and driveways. While doorbells can be easily disabled with WiFi jammers, scOS uses secure wired connections. Most importantly, scOS is proactive; it uses AI to detect and deter intruders before they even reach your door. It’s a professional-grade security system that offers significantly more protection than a simple consumer-grade doorbell.

Upper Poppleton is a safe and peaceful village, but its proximity to York and its excellent railway links can lead to increased traffic and unfamiliar faces in the area. While the local crime rate is lower than the national average, this can sometimes lead to complacency. scOS ensures you remain protected without having to constantly worry. Our system provides 24/7 vigilance, ensuring that the peace of mind you enjoy in Upper Poppleton is never compromised by opportunistic crime.

Yes, scOS is perfect for the family-friendly environment of Upper Poppleton. Our MotionX technology is highly sophisticated and can distinguish between the movement of family pets and human intruders. This means your dog can run around the garden without triggering false alarms. Furthermore, our Person Recognition feature learns the normal behaviour of family members, so the system knows the difference between your children coming home from school and a stranger approaching your property, ensuring you only get alerts that actually matter.

Upper Poppleton's railway station makes it a popular choice for commuters, but it also means more people passing through the village. scOS's AI is designed to handle this perfectly. It automatically detects your property boundaries, so it won't trigger alerts when people are walking past on the pavement or using the nearby station. Our MotionX technology focuses only on 'important activity' within your specific boundary, ensuring you get the protection you need without any unnecessary false alarms or privacy concerns for your neighbours.
