Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records footage for you to watch after a crime has happened. scOS is a proactive AI security system designed to stop crime before it even starts. It uses our unique MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity'—specifically human movement—and ignores false alarms from wind, animals, or shadows, which are common in rural areas like West Hallam. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't need you to set up complex motion zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with automatic lights and voice deterrents, actively scaring off intruders before they can enter your home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will integrate your existing cameras with the scOS Intelligence Hub. This 'uplifts' your current hardware, giving it the power of our advanced AI, such as person recognition and DVLA vehicle checking. It’s a cost-effective way to upgrade your home security to a proactive, intelligent system without the need to replace all your existing cameras.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to protect your West Hallam home. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses internal IoT devices to make your home look occupied by mimicking your daily routines—the most effective way to deter burglars. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies anyone entering your property, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. The third layer is Active Intervention, where the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers automatic lighting. This proactive response removes the element of surprise and deters criminals before they reach your home.

Your data privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI work locally on your property, only using our secure cloud for escalation and remote access. We never sell your data, and you have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. This ensures your privacy is protected by UK law and your footage remains for your eyes only.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door and often only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive, proactive protection for your entire property, including gardens, driveways, and side entrances. Unlike doorbells, which can be prone to false alarms and signal jamming, scOS is a professionally installed, wired system that uses AI to actively deter criminals with voice and light responses. It doesn't just show you who's at the door; it stops them from getting there in the first place.

West Hallam is a very safe village, but its low crime rate can lead to complacency, making it an attractive target for 'high-value' burglaries. Criminals often target affluent, quiet areas because they expect lower levels of security. scOS ensures you aren't a 'soft target.' By using Presence Simulation and proactive AI monitoring, you maintain a high level of security that matches the value of your home, ensuring that West Hallam stays the peaceful, safe place you love without you having to worry about being the exception to the rule.

Many West Hallam residents commute to nearby Ilkeston or Derby, leaving their homes empty during the day. scOS is ideal for this lifestyle because of our 'Presence Simulation' and 'scOS Director' features. Presence Simulation makes your home look lived-in by intelligently controlling internal lights and devices. Meanwhile, scOS Director allows you to check in on your home using natural language. You can simply ask, 'Has anyone suspicious been near the garage today?' and get an instant, intelligent summary, giving you total peace of mind while you're at the office.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Was there any unusual activity last night?' or 'Did the delivery driver leave the parcel in the porch?' It’s like having a digital security guard who knows your home's normal patterns and can give you an instant summary. This is particularly useful for West Hallam residents who want high-level security that is easy to manage and fits into their busy lifestyles.
