Most CCTV systems are passive, meaning they only record footage for you to look at after a crime has occurred. scOS is proactive; it's designed to stop the crime from happening in the first place. The core of our system is MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity' rather than just simple motion. It ignores common false alarms like pets, swaying trees, or spiders on the lens, focusing only on real human threats. When scOS detects an intruder on your property in Washingborough or Heighington, it takes action. It can automatically turn on lights and deliver escalating voice warnings through external speakers. This immediate response deters criminals before they can cause damage, providing a level of security that traditional cameras simply can't match.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and compatible with most wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If your home in Washingborough or Heighington already has a wired camera system, we can usually upgrade it to our intelligent AI platform. Our professional UK installers will connect your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, which adds advanced features like MotionX detection and DVLA vehicle recognition. This allows you to benefit from proactive protection without the need to replace your current hardware. During our 4-6 hour installation process, we'll ensure your system is fully optimised to provide the best possible security for your property.

scOS uses three layers of intelligent deterrence to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your Washingborough or Heighington home look occupied when you're away by mimicking internal activity patterns. Second is our MotionX detection, which accurately identifies human threats even if they are trying to hide their face or shape. Third is Active Intervention: when a threat is detected, the system triggers an escalating response, starting with lights and moving to clear voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This tells the intruder they have been spotted by an active, intelligent system, which is a far more powerful deterrent than a passive camera or a simple alarm. It stops the crime at your property boundary.

Privacy is a top priority for us. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub at your property handles most of the processing locally, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced AI tasks or remote access. You have full control over your data and can access up to two weeks of 24/7 recorded footage through our secure app. You can be confident that your Washingborough home's security data is private and secure.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. scOS is a comprehensive home intelligence system that protects your entire property. While a doorbell might show you someone at the door, scOS uses MotionX to detect an intruder the moment they enter your garden or driveway. Unlike doorbells that rely on Wi-Fi and can be easily jammed, scOS uses reliable wired connections. Most importantly, scOS actively intervenes to stop crime with lights and voice warnings, whereas a doorbell usually only provides a notification. For homes in Washingborough and Heighington, scOS offers the proactive, whole-property protection that a doorbell simply cannot provide.

Washingborough and Heighington are peaceful villages, but rural isolation can make outbuildings like sheds and garages a target. scOS is perfect for this; our MotionX technology can monitor these areas and trigger immediate voice warnings if someone approaches them. Because the system is wired, it's much more reliable for reaching detached buildings than Wi-Fi-based systems, ensuring your tools, bikes, and garden equipment are always protected.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition. This is a great feature for residents in Washingborough and Heighington, as it can identify the registration plates of vehicles on your driveway and check them against the DVLA database. This helps identify suspicious vehicles or cloned plates. You can even ask scOS Director, 'What cars have been here today?' to get an instant report, giving you extra peace of mind about who is visiting your property.

scOS is designed to be a 'good neighbour.' Our AI is incredibly precise and automatically detects your property boundaries, so it won't trigger warnings for people walking past on the pavement or cars driving through the village. The voice deterrents are directed at the intruder on your property and are designed to be heard by them, not the whole street. This ensures your home is protected without causing any disturbance to your neighbours in Washingborough or Heighington.
