Traditional CCTV is a passive witness that only records crime as it happens, often leaving you with nothing but grainy footage of a getaway. scOS transforms your security into a proactive digital guard. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, the system ignores irrelevant movement like swaying trees or pets and focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is detected, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic lighting and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between watching a crime and preventing one entirely.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. We can take your existing 'dumb' wired IP cameras—whether they are Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, or Axis—and give them a 'brain.' By connecting your current hardware to our scOS Intelligence Hub, we upgrade your passive recording setup into a fully proactive AI security system. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current cameras to ensure they meet the technical requirements for our AI processing. This allows you to leverage your previous investments while benefiting from world-class AI monitoring and proactive protection.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal touches your property. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal activity patterns and simulates them while you're away, making your home appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour—even if the person is crawling or wearing a mask—without the false alarms that lead to complacency. Finally, if an intruder crosses your boundary, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By removing the element of surprise and making the intruder feel watched, scOS forces them to move on.

Privacy and trust are at the heart of scOS. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information remain your property and are never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your data through the scOS app, with 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recorded footage, ensuring you have the evidence you need while maintaining absolute digital privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your door—often when it's already too late. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back fence. More importantly, doorbells rarely deter a determined criminal; they just record them. scOS proactively intervenes using AI-driven lights and voice deterrents to stop a crime before the perpetrator even reaches your front door. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection, scOS offers a level of professional-grade security that a consumer doorbell simply cannot match.

Whiston is one of the safest areas in South Yorkshire, but this can lead to a false sense of security. Criminals often target quieter, low-crime villages specifically because they expect residents to have fewer security measures in place. scOS is designed to maintain that peace without being intrusive. Our system acts as a silent sentry, only making its presence known when a genuine threat is detected. By installing scOS, you aren't just reacting to crime; you are ensuring that Whiston remains the safe, peaceful community you love by making your home an impossible target for opportunistic thieves.

Whiston has a wonderful community feel, and we know privacy is important. Unlike traditional systems that might record everything on the street, scOS uses AI to automatically detect your property line. It focuses its 'intelligence' only on what happens within your boundary. Furthermore, we do not use facial recognition, which can be a privacy concern for neighbours. Instead, we use behaviour-based person recognition. This means the system knows the difference between a family member and a stranger based on how they interact with the property, providing elite security while remaining fully respectful of your neighbours' privacy.

Yes, scOS is designed to be a 'set and forget' system. We provide professional UK-based installation that typically takes just 4-6 hours. Our engineers handle everything, from mounting the cameras to configuring the Intelligence Hub. Once installed, the system manages itself. It automatically detects your boundaries, learns your activity patterns for Presence Simulation, and updates its AI models via our secure UK cloud. You don't need to be a tech expert to use it; you can simply interact with the scOS Director app using natural language to check on your home, making it the perfect solution for Whiston residents who want high-end security without the hassle.
