Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime as it happens, often leaving you with nothing but footage of a masked intruder. scOS is a proactive guardian. Our system uses MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means it ignores swaying trees, spiders, or wind, focusing entirely on genuine threats. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS works out of the box, automatically detecting your property boundaries. It doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light and voice responses to stop an incident before your home is even touched.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your 'dumb' cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we transform them into a proactive AI security system. This allows you to upgrade your home's intelligence without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided your existing cameras are wired, as we prefer wired connections over jam-prone wireless setups.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it appear occupied even when you're away in Stone or at Yarnfield Park. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they are moving or if they are attempting to conceal their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries, scOS triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to AI-generated voice warnings from external IoT speakers, designed to convince any intruder that they have been spotted by a live guard.

Your privacy is a cornerstone of our service. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Most of the intelligence is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub, only escalating to our secure cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell it to third parties. You have 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings from anywhere in the world, ensuring you are always in control of your Yarnfield property's security.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door—often when it's too late. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS uses proactive deterrents like presence simulation and voice warnings to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. It provides whole-property protection rather than just a narrow view of your front step, stopping crime before it happens rather than just recording it.

Yarnfield's proximity to the M6 makes it a target for vehicle-related crime. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically scans the registration plates of vehicles entering your property. It checks these against the national database to identify cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. This proactive monitoring allows the system to alert you the moment an unknown or suspicious vehicle enters your boundary, providing an essential layer of protection for your cars and vans.

Staffordshire Police are dedicated, but the high volume of traffic in the M6 corridor can stretch resources. scOS acts as your immediate, on-site security force. By using AI to detect threats and deliver instant voice and light deterrents, scOS often stops a crime before it can escalate. This autonomous response ensures your home is protected 24/7, providing you with peace of mind and high-quality evidence should the police need to investigate an incident.

Yes, scOS is ideal for the modern homes and busy lifestyles found in Yarnfield. Our Presence Simulation feature is particularly effective for commuters, as it uses AI to learn your normal patterns and mimic them when you're away, making your home look occupied. You can also use our scOS Director conversational AI to check in on your home while you're at work, asking simple questions like 'Has there been any activity on the driveway today?' to get an instant, natural-language update.
