Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it's happening. scOS is proactive, meaning it's designed to stop the crime before it occurs. Our MotionX technology is a major differentiator—it doesn't just detect 'motion' (which leads to false alarms from wind or animals), it detects 'important activity' like a person approaching your home. It recognises people even if they are covering their faces or changing their shape. Because scOS understands your property boundaries automatically, it provides instant intervention with lights and voice warnings the moment a threat is detected, rather than just giving you footage after the fact.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most existing wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, we'll connect your current cameras to our Intelligence Hub, instantly giving them AI powers. This means you don't need to replace your existing hardware to get the benefits of proactive monitoring, vehicle recognition, and presence simulation. Our engineers will spend 4-6 hours at your Wooler property ensuring everything is perfectly integrated and your boundaries are correctly mapped by the AI.

scOS uses a three-tier deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal lighting patterns—essential for when you're away from Wooler. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious human activity with zero false alarms. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder enters your boundary, scOS uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates bright lighting. This escalating response makes it clear to any intruder that they are being watched by an intelligent system, usually causing them to leave immediately.

Your data is handled with the highest level of security. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. The Intelligence Hub in your home processes most of the AI locally, only using the cloud for secure remote access and advanced analysis. You have 24/7 recording with up to two weeks of storage, and you are the only person who can access your footage through our secure app.

A video doorbell only sees what's directly in front of it and is often reactive—it tells you someone is there after they've already arrived. scOS provides 360-degree proactive protection for your entire property. It detects threats at your boundary and uses AI to stop them before they reach your door. Additionally, scOS is a wired system, making it immune to the 'WiFi jammers' that criminals often use to disable wireless doorbells. For a home in Wooler, scOS offers a much more robust and comprehensive security solution.

In rural areas like Wooler, police response times can be longer than in major cities. This makes proactive protection even more vital. scOS is designed to be your first line of defence, using voice warnings and lights to drive intruders away so that you never have to rely on a rapid police response. The system's ability to simulate your presence also makes your home a much less attractive target for burglars who are looking for empty rural properties. It provides a level of self-sufficiency that traditional alarms simply can't match.

Living in the 'Gateway to the Cheviots' means plenty of wildlife, but scOS is designed to handle it. Our MotionX technology is revolutionary because it ignores animals, birds, and even moving trees or cobwebs. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity'—human and vehicle movement. This means you won't get false alarms from a stray sheep or a fox in your garden. You only get alerted when there is a genuine person-based threat, ensuring that your peace and quiet in Wooler isn't constantly interrupted by your security system.

scOS includes a feature called the 'scOS Director,' which is a conversational AI. You can ask it natural questions like, 'Has anyone been to the back gate today?' or 'What cars have been on the drive?' and it will give you an intelligent summary. It’s like having a digital security guard you can talk to. This is perfect for Wooler residents who want to stay informed about their property's security without having to scroll through hours of footage. It makes managing your home security as easy as having a conversation.
