Traditional CCTV is a passive tool; it records what happened but doesn't stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Using our MotionX technology, it identifies 'important activity'—specifically human threats—while ignoring the wind, pets, and shadows that cause false alarms on standard systems. There's no need for you to draw motion masks; the AI understands your property boundaries automatically. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it reacts. When a threat is detected, it uses lights and voice warnings to deter the intruder in real-time, stopping the crime before it starts.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you already have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink at your Upton home, we can often integrate them into our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your existing cameras into an AI-powered security network. During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your hardware to ensure it can support our advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection, giving you a massive security upgrade without needing to replace every camera.

We use a three-layered approach to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which is vital for Upton's residents; it mimics your home's natural activity patterns to make it look occupied when you're out. Second is MotionX, our AI that detects human threats even if they are masked or trying to hide. Finally, if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers an escalating response: instant illumination and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, AI-driven intervention is designed to scare off criminals before they can cause any damage.

Your data privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Your footage is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and only sent to the cloud for advanced AI analysis or when you access it via our app. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, ensuring your home's security data stays private and protected.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers your front door. In a village like Upton, where homes often have side access or rear gardens, a doorbell isn't enough. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary and using AI to detect threats before they reach your door. Unlike a doorbell, which might just record a theft, scOS uses proactive measures like voice deterrents and vehicle recognition to prevent the crime from happening. It offers a level of security and intelligence that a simple doorbell camera cannot match.

Upton's proximity to Pontefract and the A1 makes it a potential target for opportunistic crime from nearby urban centres. scOS addresses this with our DVLA Vehicle Recognition. Our AI reads the number plates of vehicles approaching your property and checks them against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is detected, the system can alert you immediately. This provides the West Yorkshire Police with high-quality, actionable intelligence that can be crucial in tracking down mobile criminal gangs.

Upton has a mix of traditional terraced homes and newer detached properties. Our professional UK installation is designed to be discreet and respectful of your home's layout. We use compact, high-quality cameras and ensure all wiring is hidden or blended with the building's features. Because our system is wired, it is much more reliable than wireless alternatives and doesn't require bulky battery packs. We work with you during the 4-6 hour installation to ensure the cameras are positioned effectively to cover all access points, regardless of your property type.

West Yorkshire Police are dedicated, but proactive home security is your best first line of defence. scOS provides the police with high-quality, AI-filtered evidence if an incident does occur. Our system records 24/7 in high definition and uses DVLA recognition to identify suspicious vehicles. This means that instead of hours of useless footage, you can provide the police with clear clips of 'important activity' and specific vehicle details, which significantly aids their investigations and increases the likelihood of a successful outcome in Upton.
