Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web or gust of wind, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only. It recognises people and vehicles with 99.9% accuracy, meaning zero false alarms. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. By detecting a threat before a break-in occurs, the system can automatically trigger external lights and AI-driven voice warnings to deter the intruder. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a security guard who never sleeps.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a truly intelligent security network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your current setup. We then connect your cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub, which provides the local processing power needed for our MotionX AI. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI protection without the cost of replacing all your existing hardware, provided the cameras meet basic resolution and connectivity standards.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal patterns and simulates human activity inside—like moving lights—to make the property look occupied even when you're away. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they step onto your property, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just send a notification; it automatically illuminates the area and delivers authoritative voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to make any intruder realise they have been spotted and that the home is actively defended.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action, and then securely escalated to our UK-based data centres for storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours and is never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks with 24/7 coverage. Because we use local processing combined with secure UK cloud storage, you get the speed of local intelligence with the reliability of cloud backup.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your front door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a slow sensor. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, from the driveway to the back fence. Our AI detects threats long before they reach your door, allowing for proactive intervention. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and prone to signal jamming; scOS uses professional wired connections for 'un-jammable' reliability. We don't just show you who's there; we stop the crime from happening in the first place.

With Wombwell's crime rate sitting above the national average, standard security often isn't enough. scOS is designed to be a high-impact deterrent. Our 'Escalating Response' feature means that if an intruder ignores the initial light and voice warning, the system can trigger more intense deterrents. This proactive approach is specifically designed to make criminals move on to an easier target, providing the level of protection that South Yorkshire Police recommend for high-activity areas.

Yes. Criminals often try to hide their identity using hoods or masks. Our AI is specifically trained for 'Covered Face Detection'. Unlike standard systems that might just see 'motion', scOS flags suspicious concealment as a high-priority threat. This triggers an immediate deterrent response, letting the intruder know that even if they've covered their face, their presence has been detected and recorded.

Vehicle theft and 'keyless' entry crimes are a concern in the Barnsley area. scOS's DVLA Vehicle Recognition and MotionX AI work together to protect your driveway. The system identifies any person approaching your vehicle and can immediately trigger a voice warning like, 'You are being monitored, please leave the area.' This active intervention is often enough to stop a car thief in their tracks before they even touch your vehicle.
