Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is proactive. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, the system distinguishes between 'important activity'—like a person lurking near your driveway—and 'noise' like the wind in the trees or a cat crossing the road. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw messy motion zones, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is identified, the system doesn't just record; it intervenes with automated light responses and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between a witness and a digital security guard.

In most cases, yes. scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with the majority of professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your current cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub, we transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, AI-driven network. This allows you to upgrade your home security to world-class standards without the need to replace every piece of hardware you’ve already invested in, provided they meet the necessary technical requirements for our AI processing.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour even if an intruder is wearing a mask or trying to hide their silhouette. Finally, if an intruder crosses your boundary, the system triggers Active Intervention. This isn't just a siren; it’s an escalating response using external IoT speakers to deliver AI-generated voice warnings and instant illumination. By making it clear to the criminal that they have been spotted and identified, scOS removes the 'darkness and silence' they rely on.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub and, when necessary, escalated to our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data stays yours and is never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. Because we use local processing for the heavy lifting, your system remains fast and secure, ensuring that your private home life remains exactly that—private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is already at your front door, which is often too late to prevent a crime. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that understands the difference between a delivery driver and someone scouting your home. Furthermore, doorbells rarely offer proactive deterrence. scOS stops the crime before it happens by intervening the moment someone steps onto your land. It’s a comprehensive security ecosystem versus a single, reactive camera point.

Walkington is fortunately one of the safest villages in East Yorkshire, but low crime rates can lead to complacency. Most thefts in areas like this are opportunistic—someone spotting an open gate or an expensive bike in a driveway. scOS acts as a 'digital gatekeeper,' alerting you the moment someone enters your property boundary who shouldn't be there. By maintaining a high-tech visible deterrent, you ensure your home remains an unattractive target for those travelling into the area from further afield.

Absolutely. Walkington residents often enjoy the outdoors, whether it's walking on the Westwood or visiting All Hallows. With 'scOS Director,' you can simply open the app and ask, 'Director, has anyone been to the house today?' or 'Is the garage door shut?' It uses natural language processing to give you an instant update, providing peace of mind while you're out enjoying the village or commuting into Beverley or Hull.

Yes. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore the 'noise' of rural life. Whether it's birds in the trees near the village pond or pets in the garden, scOS won't bother you with false alarms. It focuses purely on 'important activity'—human-led movement that indicates a potential security breach. This means you can leave the system active 24/7 without worrying about your phone buzzing every time a squirrel runs past.
