Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to prevent it. In a quiet village like Wheldrake, you need a system that ensures you don't become a target in the first place. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. It features MotionX, our advanced AI that identifies 'important activity' with zero false alarms. Unlike standard systems that trigger for every passing animal or swaying tree, MotionX only alerts you to genuine human threats. It recognises people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their shape. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just record; it acts. With automatic property boundary detection, it knows exactly where your land begins and uses escalating light and voice responses to deter intruders before they can even attempt a break-in. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to work with most existing wired IP cameras. If you already have a system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, we can often upgrade it by connecting your cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will integrate your current hardware into our AI ecosystem. This allows you to benefit from MotionX, presence simulation, and our proactive deterrents without the need for a completely new set of cameras. We prioritise wired connections over wireless because they are far more secure and cannot be jammed by criminals. This makes scOS a cost-effective and highly reliable way to bring state-of-the-art AI security to your Wheldrake home.

scOS uses three powerful layers of deterrence. The first is Presence Simulation. Our AI learns your home's normal activity patterns and mimics them when you're away—turning lights on and off naturally—to make your home look occupied. This is the ultimate passive deterrent. The second layer is MotionX detection, which accurately identifies any suspicious person on your property. The third layer is Active Intervention. When a threat is detected, scOS triggers an escalating response, starting with automatic lighting to remove the cover of darkness. This is followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers, letting the intruder know they've been spotted. This combination of making the house look lived-in and providing an immediate, vocal response is designed to stop criminals before they even try to enter.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located right here in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data stays yours and is never sold to third parties. We use a hybrid 'Local + Cloud' processing model. The scOS Intelligence Hub in your home handles most of the AI processing locally for maximum speed and privacy. It only uses our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis and to allow you to access your system remotely. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. This ensures your Wheldrake home is protected by the latest technology while your personal data remains completely secure and private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers your front door. By the time it alerts you, the intruder is already at your house. scOS is a proactive, whole-property intelligence system. It monitors your entire boundary using MotionX, detecting threats long before they reach your door. While a doorbell might show you a crime after it's happened, scOS is designed to prevent it. It includes advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents that doorbells simply don't have. Additionally, scOS is professionally installed and wired, making it much more reliable than battery-powered doorbells that can be easily blocked or run out of power. It’s the difference between a simple doorbell and a comprehensive security detail for your entire property.

Wheldrake is a very safe village, but this can sometimes lead to a false sense of security. Criminals often target low-crime areas because they expect to find fewer security measures. scOS ensures you are never a 'soft target.' Our Presence Simulation makes your home look active even when you're commuting to York or away on holiday. By maintaining the appearance of a busy home and having a system that proactively deters anyone who steps onto your land, you significantly reduce the risk of being targeted. scOS provides peace of mind, knowing that your home is being watched over by an intelligent system that never sleeps, even in the most peaceful of locations.

The 'scOS Director' is our conversational AI that makes managing your security as easy as having a conversation. Instead of checking hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Director, was there anyone in the garden today?' or 'Did the delivery driver come this morning?' The AI understands the context of your property and provides instant, natural-language answers. It can even distinguish between family members and strangers based on their behaviour patterns. This is perfect for Wheldrake residents who want a high-tech system that is incredibly simple to use. It turns your security system into a helpful home assistant that keeps you informed without any technical stress.

Yes, scOS features advanced DVLA Vehicle Recognition. Our AI reads the registration plates of any vehicle that enters your property's vicinity and checks them against the DVLA database. This allows the system to identify suspicious or unrecognised vehicles, such as those with cloned plates, which are often used by criminals to scout neighbourhoods. If a suspicious car is detected loitering near your home, scOS can alert you immediately. This is an invaluable tool for protecting your vehicles and providing an early warning of potential threats. It ensures that you are aware of who is outside your home, giving you an extra layer of security in your Wheldrake property.
