Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime before it happens. At its core is MotionX, our revolutionary activity detection technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on motion masks and frequently trigger false alarms from spiders, wind, or shadows, MotionX focuses only on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their shape. Because it understands the difference between a fox and a prowler, it can trigger automatic interventions—like lighting and voice warnings—without you ever having to lift a finger. It transforms your security from a simple recording device into a 24/7 digital security guard that never sleeps.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a truly intelligent network. We work with most professional wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX AI and proactive deterrents to your current setup. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI home intelligence without the cost of replacing every camera on your property, provided they meet the necessary technical standards for a wired connection.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation; while you're away, the system simulates human activity patterns inside your home to make it appear occupied, deterring burglars from even considering your property. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your boundary—even if the intruder is wearing a mask or moving stealthily. The final layer is Active Intervention. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it reacts. It instantly illuminates the area with automatic light responses and delivers escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This immediate, AI-driven response signals to the criminal that they have been spotted and that the property is actively defended, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the primary AI analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced processing or remote access. You retain full control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. We never sell your data to third parties. With scOS, you get the power of advanced AI intelligence with the peace of mind that your private life stays private and protected by UK law.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a comprehensive home intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your gardens, driveways, and side access points. More importantly, scOS is proactive. It doesn't just show you a crime in progress; it uses AI to detect threats and intervene before they reach your door. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS provides a ring of steel around your home that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot match. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a dedicated security team.

With a crime rate in West Rainton that is significantly higher than the national average, proactive security is a necessity. scOS is designed to combat this by detecting intruders at your boundary before they can reach your home. Our MotionX technology identifies suspicious behaviour instantly, triggering escalating voice and light deterrents that signal to the criminal they have been spotted. In high-crime areas, this immediate intervention is the most effective way to prevent break-ins and property damage, as it removes the element of surprise and makes your home a much harder target than those with traditional, passive CCTV.

Yes, scOS includes 'Covered Face Detection,' which is specifically designed to flag suspicious concealment like hoods, balaclavas, or masks. In areas with higher crime rates, intruders often use these methods to avoid identification. Our AI recognises this as a high-priority threat and can trigger an immediate escalating response, such as a firm voice warning from our external speakers. This proactive intervention is often enough to stop a crime before it starts, as criminals realise their anonymity has not protected them from our intelligent detection system. It’s a vital feature for maintaining security in a village like West Rainton.

Durham Constabulary can respond more effectively when they have high-quality, AI-verified evidence. scOS provides 24/7 recording and uses DVLA Vehicle Recognition to log the registration of any suspicious vehicles. Our AI-driven search tools (scOS Director) allow you to quickly find and share relevant footage, providing the police with clear, timestamped evidence that includes vehicle registrations and specific details about the intruder's behaviour. Because our system also uses proactive deterrents to stop crimes in progress, it often prevents the need for a police call-out entirely, keeping your home safe and providing definitive proof if an investigation is required.
