Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, often leaving you with nothing but grainy footage of a masked intruder. scOS transforms this dynamic by introducing proactive AI monitoring through our MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on crude motion masks and trigger alerts for every passing cat or swaying branch, MotionX is trained to identify 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour. It recognises people regardless of whether they are running, crawling, or attempting to hide their silhouette. Because it understands the difference between a threat and a false alarm, it can initiate automatic interventions, such as activating external IoT speakers and lighting, to stop a crime before it happens. This isn't just recording; it's an intelligent, autonomous security guard for your home.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing security infrastructure. If you have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Intelligence Hub, we transform 'dumb' cameras that only record into 'intelligent' sensors capable of proactive boundary detection and escalating responses. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the need to replace every piece of hardware on your property, provided the existing cameras meet the necessary technical standards for high-quality video feed.

scOS employs a sophisticated, multi-layered approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal reaches your door. The first layer is Presence Simulation; the system learns your home's normal internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making the property appear occupied. If a prowler does approach, our MotionX technology identifies them instantly, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. This triggers the second layer: proactive intervention. The system doesn't wait for a break-in; it uses automatic property boundary detection to sense a threat and responds with instant illumination and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. These aren't generic recordings; they are AI-driven deterrents that signal to the intruder that they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

At scOS, we believe your security data should be treated with the highest level of privacy and integrity. Unlike many competitors who outsource data processing to international servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage and advanced analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your video footage and personal information remain your property and are never sold to third parties. You have total control over your data, with 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recorded footage. By keeping everything within the UK, from our support teams to our servers, we provide a level of data sovereignty and security that international brands simply cannot match.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived, which is often too late to prevent a crime. scOS is a comprehensive home intelligence system that protects your entire property, not just the front entrance. While a doorbell might capture a package thief in the act, scOS uses MotionX and automatic boundary detection to spot a suspicious individual the moment they step onto your driveway or garden. By using escalating responses—like turning on lights and delivering voice warnings—scOS stops the crime before the criminal even reaches your door. Furthermore, scOS provides 24/7 recording and professional wired installation, ensuring a level of reliability and coverage that battery-powered doorbells, which are prone to Wi-Fi jamming and 'blind spots', can never achieve.

Wingate's crime rate is significantly higher than the national average, particularly for property crime. In such an environment, passive recording is insufficient. scOS is designed for high-intervention security. Our MotionX technology and escalating voice deterrents are specifically built to handle repeat offenders and bold intruders. By detecting a threat at the property boundary and immediately initiating a response, scOS changes the risk-reward calculation for criminals, making your home the least attractive target in the area.

Wingate's proximity to the A19 and A181 makes it vulnerable to criminals using cloned plates to avoid detection. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically checks the registration of any vehicle entering your property's vicinity. If a vehicle is flagged as suspicious or has cloned plates, the system can alert you immediately. This is a vital tool for residents in high-traffic areas, providing an early warning system that standard CCTV simply cannot offer.

Durham Constabulary is under significant pressure due to the local crime statistics. scOS provides the immediate, proactive response that police forces often cannot. By using Presence Simulation to make your home look occupied and active deterrents to stop intruders, scOS often prevents the crime from ever occurring. If an incident does happen, our system provides Durham Constabulary with high-quality, AI-indexed evidence, making their job easier and increasing the likelihood of a conviction.

In areas with higher crime rates, criminals often attempt to hide their identity. scOS features Covered Face Detection, which specifically flags individuals wearing balaclavas, masks, or hoods in a suspicious manner. Unlike standard facial recognition, which requires a clear view of the face, our AI looks for the act of concealment itself. This allows the system to trigger an immediate, high-level response the moment a masked individual enters your property, ensuring you are protected even when the intruder is trying to stay anonymous.
