Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with footage to show the Northamptonshire Police after the damage is done. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands 'important activity.' Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or shadows, scOS works out of the box. It ignores spiders, wind, and animals, focusing solely on human threats. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes with automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers, stopping intruders before they even reach your door.

Absolutely. scOS is brand agnostic and designed to transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. By layering scOS over your existing hardware, you gain access to our advanced AI features like DVLA vehicle recognition and presence simulation without needing to replace every camera on your West Haddon property.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you're away. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious behaviour and recognises people regardless of how they move or if they attempt to cover their faces. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If a threat persists, the system triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI-generated voice warnings and instant illumination. This escalating response is designed to make the intruder feel watched and exposed, forcing them to retreat.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based cloud data centres for storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data stays yours and is never sold to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible from anywhere via our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary automatically. It doesn't just show you a package being stolen; it prevents the thief from stepping onto your driveway in the first place through proactive voice deterrents and presence simulation. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a digital security guard.

West Haddon’s proximity to the M1 and major roads like the A428 can make it a target for transient criminals. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies vehicles and checks their registrations against the national database. It can flag cloned plates or vehicles that have been seen scouting the area, providing you with early warning of potential threats before they target your home.

scOS uses Activity Pattern Recognition to learn the normal rhythms of your West Haddon home. It understands when you usually leave for work, when the kids come home, and when the bins are usually collected. By learning these patterns, the AI can identify anomalies—such as someone loitering at an unusual time—and alert you only when something is genuinely out of the ordinary, virtually eliminating false alarms.

Yes. Our scOS Director is a conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask questions like 'Was there any activity near the garage last night?' or 'Did the courier arrive today?' It’s like having a digital security guard who has watched every second of footage and can give you an instant summary, saving you from scrolling through hours of video.
