Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records footage but doesn't actively stop a crime. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses AI to monitor your property and intervene before a break-in occurs. Our MotionX technology is a major differentiator, focusing on 'important activity' and ignoring false alarms like wind, rain, or animals. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't require you to manually set up motion zones; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, scOS reacts instantly with lights and voice deterrents, providing an active defence that traditional systems simply can't offer.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional installation process, which takes about 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will integrate your current cameras with our Intelligence Hub. This hub adds AI capabilities to your existing hardware, enabling features like person recognition and proactive deterrents. This means you can upgrade to a state-of-the-art AI security system without the cost of a full hardware replacement, while benefiting from the reliability of a wired system over wireless alternatives.

scOS uses a three-layered deterrent strategy to protect your home. First is Presence Simulation: the AI learns your home's activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making the house look occupied. Second is MotionX detection: the system identifies suspicious individuals the moment they cross your boundary, even if they are masked or disguised. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS uses external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and triggers automatic light responses. This combination of making the home look lived-in and providing a direct, vocal response to intruders is highly effective at stopping criminals in their tracks.

Your privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles most data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure cloud for advanced AI tasks and remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app, ensuring your home life remains private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only alerts you when someone is already at your door. For a home in Wynyard, you need a system that covers your entire property, including driveways and side entrances. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, using MotionX to detect threats long before they reach your house. While a doorbell might show you a crime in progress, scOS is designed to stop it from happening. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS offers a professional-grade security perimeter that a simple doorbell cannot provide.

Wynyard is home to many high-value vehicles, and scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition to help protect them. This feature identifies every car that enters your driveway and checks its registration against the DVLA database. It can recognise your own vehicles and those of regular visitors, while immediately flagging suspicious or cloned plates. If an unknown vehicle enters your property, scOS can alert you and even initiate a deterrent response, providing an essential layer of protection for your cars and giving you peace of mind.

Yes, scOS features scOS Director, a conversational AI that makes managing your security as easy as having a conversation. You can ask the system questions in plain English, such as 'Was there anyone on the driveway last night?' or 'Did the delivery driver come today?' The AI will scan your footage and provide a clear summary, saving you from having to scroll through hours of video. This makes it incredibly easy for anyone to stay informed about their home's security, regardless of their technical ability. It’s like having a personal security assistant available 24/7.

Our professional installation is a key part of the scOS service. Our UK-based engineers will handle everything, from setting up the Intelligence Hub to ensuring all cameras and IoT speakers are perfectly positioned for maximum coverage. The process typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, and we pride ourselves on a clean, efficient installation with minimal disruption to your home. We also provide a full walkthrough of the system, including how to use the scOS app and scOS Director, so you feel completely confident in your new home intelligence system before we leave.
