Standard CCTV is a passive tool that only records events as they happen, often leaving you with nothing but footage of a crime after the fact. scOS is a proactive AI system that actively prevents crime. Our MotionX technology is the core of this difference; it doesn't rely on simple motion detection which can be triggered by wind or animals. Instead, it identifies 'important activity'—specifically human movement. It knows your property boundaries automatically, so there’s no need for you to draw boxes on a screen. When a stranger enters your boundary, scOS doesn't just watch; it uses lights and voice warnings to deter them immediately. It’s an active security presence that works to stop the incident before your home is ever breached.

Yes, scOS is highly flexible and works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have a system installed at your Wilsden home, we can often use your existing cameras and simply upgrade the 'brain' of the system with our Intelligence Hub. This allows you to benefit from scOS’s advanced AI, such as person recognition and presence simulation, without the cost of a full hardware replacement. During our professional installation process—which takes about 4-6 hours—our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup and ensure everything is integrated perfectly for maximum protection.

scOS deters criminals through a layered strategy of intelligence and intervention. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking your usual lighting and activity patterns, which is the most effective way to stop a burglar from even considering your property. Second, our MotionX AI detects suspicious activity with 100% accuracy, even if an intruder is wearing a mask or trying to hide. Finally, if someone enters your property, scOS triggers an Active Intervention. This includes instant lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, human-like response signals to the intruder that they have been caught, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. Unlike many other security companies, we are fully GDPR compliant and we never sell your data to third parties. The Intelligence Hub in your home processes most of the AI locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud when necessary. You have complete control over your footage and data at all times. Whether you're at home in Wilsden or away on holiday, you can access your system securely, knowing your information is protected by British privacy laws.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often easily bypassed by intruders entering through back gardens or side windows. They are also prone to WiFi jamming and often provide nothing more than a notification that someone is already at your door. scOS is a comprehensive, whole-property solution. It uses wired connections that cannot be jammed and monitors your entire boundary. While a doorbell records a visitor, scOS proactively stops a criminal. For Wilsden residents, scOS offers a level of professional security that a consumer-grade doorbell simply cannot match, providing peace of mind for the entire property, not just the porch.

Wilsden is a popular village for those working in Leeds or Bradford, meaning many homes are empty during the day. scOS is perfect for commuters because of its 'Presence Simulation' and 'scOS Director' features. While you're at work, the system can make it look like someone is home by simulating activity. If something does happen, you don't have to sift through hours of footage; you can simply ask the scOS Director, 'Was there any unusual activity while I was in Leeds today?' and get an instant, natural language summary. It’s like having a virtual security guard watching over your home while you're at the office.

Many homes in Wilsden are traditional stone-built properties which can sometimes pose challenges for wireless signals. This is why scOS uses a fully wired system. Our professional installers are experts at discreetly wiring stone properties to ensure a robust, 'un-jammable' connection that wireless systems like Ring or Nest can't provide. Wired systems are significantly more reliable and provide 24/7 recording without the lag or dropouts often associated with village WiFi. We ensure that the installation is clean and respects the aesthetic of your home while providing the highest level of security.

West Yorkshire Police often highlight the importance of proactive security in rural and semi-rural areas. scOS aligns perfectly with this by providing a system that doesn't just report crime but actively prevents it. Our escalating response system—where warnings become more direct if a person persists—is designed to stop incidents before they require police intervention. However, if an incident does occur, scOS provides high-quality, 24/7 recorded evidence that is GDPR compliant and ready for police use, including DVLA-verified vehicle registrations which can be crucial for investigations.
