Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web or gust of wind, our MotionX technology ignores the noise and focuses only on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of their shape or if they are trying to hide. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it acts. Using automatic property boundary detection, it identifies threats the moment they step onto your land and can trigger instant light responses or AI voice warnings from external speakers to deter the intruder before they ever reach your door.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video locally before escalating critical data to our UK cloud, giving your old cameras the power of MotionX detection, vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents without needing a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal patterns and simulates human activity inside (like light movements) to make the house look occupied when you're away. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces immediately, even if the intruder is wearing a mask or balaclava. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected within your auto-detected boundaries, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and can progress to clear, authoritative AI voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. Unlike a standard alarm, scOS makes the criminal feel 'seen' and monitored, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many security companies that ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All video processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub. When an event requires AI analysis, it is sent to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. Your data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, and it is never sold to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible anywhere via our secure app. Because we are a UK company, our support and data infrastructure are governed by the strictest privacy laws in the world, ensuring your home stays private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary. It uses DVLA-linked vehicle recognition to spot suspicious cars and MotionX to identify people lurking in 'blind spots' where doorbells can't see. Furthermore, doorbells rarely offer proactive deterrents. scOS stops the crime from happening by intervening at the perimeter with lights and voice warnings, rather than just giving you a video of the person who just broke in.

Northamptonshire Police often have to prioritise high-density urban areas, meaning villages like Wollaston can feel isolated. scOS bridges this gap by providing a 'digital guard' for your property. If an incident occurs, scOS doesn't just record it; it provides high-quality, actionable evidence, including DVLA-verified number plates and clear person descriptions. Our scOS Director AI allows you to ask natural questions like 'Did a white van park outside today?' to get instant answers, making it much easier to provide the police with the specific information they need to take action quickly.

Wollaston is a popular village for professionals commuting to Wellingborough or Northampton, often leaving homes empty during the day. scOS is specifically designed for this lifestyle. Our Presence Simulation doesn't just turn lights on a timer; it mimics real human behaviour, making it impossible for a burglar 'casing' the street to tell you're not home. If someone does approach, the system's escalating response—from lights to voice warnings—provides a level of protection that a standard burglar alarm simply cannot match, ensuring your home is defended even when you're miles away at work.

Yes. Wollaston's rural setting means you likely deal with foxes, badgers, and wind-blown debris. Traditional motion sensors would be constantly triggering false alarms, leading you to eventually ignore the notifications. scOS uses MotionX, which is trained to ignore animals, cobwebs, and weather. It only alerts you to 'important activity'—specifically human presence and vehicle movement. This means when your phone pings, you know it's something that actually requires your attention, giving you peace of mind without the frustration of constant false alerts.
