Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. Our system uses MotionX technology, which doesn't just look for movement—it understands activity. Unlike old systems that require you to draw 'motion masks' to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX work out of the box to ignore irrelevant movement while instantly identifying human threats. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just send a notification; it intervenes. Through automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers, it challenges intruders before they reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate them. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Intelligence Hub, you gain access to our full suite of AI features, including MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive voice deterrents, without needing to replace your entire infrastructure. It’s the most cost-effective way to upgrade to world-class home intelligence.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal lighting and activity patterns to make the property appear occupied even when you're away, acting as a primary passive deterrent. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies 'important activity' with zero false alarms. It recognises people even if they are hooded, masked, or attempting to crawl. Third is Active Intervention. If an unauthorised person enters your property boundaries, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By challenging the intruder immediately, scOS removes the element of surprise and anonymity that criminals rely on.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours and is never sold to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the heavy lifting locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible anywhere in the world via our secure app. We provide the intelligence of a professional security team with the privacy of a local system.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a few metres in front of your door, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses AI to detect threats the moment they step onto your land, not just when they reach the entrance. Furthermore, doorbells rarely deter determined criminals. scOS proactively intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop a crime before it happens. It’s a comprehensive security solution versus a simple digital peephole.

Woodmansey’s location on the A1174 means a high volume of traffic passes your home daily. Traditional motion-sensing cameras would be triggered constantly by passing cars, leading to 'notification fatigue' where you eventually ignore the alerts. scOS’s MotionX technology is revolutionary because it ignores this irrelevant motion. It specifically looks for 'important activity'—like a person stepping out of a car and onto your driveway, or someone lingering at your boundary. It filters out the noise of the busy road, ensuring that when your phone pings, it’s something you actually need to see.

With the high volume of vehicles passing through Woodmansey, vehicle-related crime is a concern. scOS features integrated DVLA vehicle recognition. This allows the system to identify every car that enters your property. It can distinguish between your family's cars and a stranger's vehicle. More importantly, it checks registrations against the DVLA database to flag cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. If an unrecognised vehicle pulls onto your drive, scOS can immediately notify you and even initiate a 'soft' deterrent, such as turning on a porch light, to let the driver know they've been noticed.

Humberside Police deal with a wide range of urban and rural crime. By installing scOS, you are providing them with the best possible evidence should an incident occur. Our 24/7 recording stores up to two weeks of high-definition footage. More importantly, because scOS identifies 'important activity,' you don't have to sift through hours of footage to find a specific event. You can use scOS Director to ask, 'Show me the person who came to the gate at 3pm,' and the AI will find it instantly. This makes reporting incidents to the police faster and more effective.
