Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records what happened so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that acts in real-time to prevent crime. The core of this is our MotionX technology, which eliminates the false alarms common with standard systems—like those triggered by wind in the trees or a spider on the lens. scOS understands "important activity," specifically identifying human threats. It doesn't require you to set up complex zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected at your Wetherby home, scOS intervenes with lights and voice warnings from external speakers, stopping the intruder before they can break in.

Yes, scOS is designed to be highly compatible. It works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis. If you already have a system installed at your Wetherby property, our UK-based engineers can usually integrate it with the scOS Intelligence Hub during our professional installation process. This means you can keep your existing hardware while gaining all the benefits of our advanced AI, such as presence simulation and proactive voice deterrents. We’ll perform a full assessment during the 4-6 hour installation to ensure everything is optimised for peak performance.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to keep your home safe. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which is perfect for Wetherby residents who commute or travel; it mimics natural activity inside the house to make it look occupied. The second layer is MotionX, which monitors your boundaries and identifies people even if they are trying to hide their shape or face. The third layer is Active Intervention. If an intruder is detected, scOS automatically triggers escalating responses, such as turning on powerful lights and delivering voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This tells the criminal they are being watched by an intelligent system, which is usually enough to make them leave immediately.

We believe your data should stay in the UK. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring your privacy is always protected. Your Intelligence Hub processes most data locally for speed and security, only using the cloud for backup and remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. This ensures that your Wetherby home's security data is handled with the highest standards of privacy and legal compliance.

A video doorbell is a great tool for seeing who is at the door, but it doesn't protect your whole property. scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary. While a doorbell might record someone stealing a parcel, scOS is designed to stop them from ever reaching your porch. Furthermore, scOS uses wired connections rather than the WiFi used by most doorbells, making it immune to signal jamming. For Wetherby homeowners, scOS offers a much higher level of security by providing proactive, AI-driven protection for the entire house and grounds, rather than just a single entry point.

Wetherby’s status as an affluent market town near the A1 makes it a target for high-value vehicle theft. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies every car that enters your driveway. It checks registrations against the DVLA database to spot cloned plates or suspicious vehicles. If an unrecognised or flagged vehicle arrives, scOS can alert you instantly and start deterrent protocols. This is an essential feature for protecting high-end cars and ensuring that "scouting" vehicles are identified and discouraged from returning to your property.

Many Wetherby residents enjoy dining out in the town centre or commuting to Leeds and York. Our Presence Simulation feature is designed specifically for these times. Unlike a simple timer that turns a light on at 7 PM, scOS uses AI to learn and mimic your actual behavior—turning different lights on and off and simulating activity in various rooms. This creates a convincing illusion that someone is home, which is the single most effective way to deter opportunistic burglars who are looking for empty properties.

Wetherby is a safe town, but its affluence can lead to complacency. West Yorkshire Police deal with a wide range of issues, and property crime still occurs. scOS provides a constant, vigilant presence that doesn't rely on police response times. By using escalating voice warnings and lighting, the system can often resolve a threat before it becomes a crime. If you do need to involve the police, scOS provides high-quality, AI-filtered footage that clearly shows the "important activity," making it much easier for officers to identify and act upon the evidence.
