Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive AI system that intervenes the moment a threat is detected. Our MotionX technology is a game-changer, focusing only on 'important activity' and ignoring false alarms like pets or wind. Unlike standard systems, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries without needing manual setup. When an intruder is detected, scOS uses external IoT speakers and lighting to deliver an escalating response, deterring the criminal before they even reach your home. It’s active protection versus passive recording.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and can often integrate with your existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink. During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your current hardware and connect it to our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your existing cameras into an intelligent AI network capable of DVLA vehicle recognition and human behaviour detection. This allows residents in Bacup to upgrade to elite-level security without the cost of a completely new camera setup.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation uses AI to mimic your home's normal activity patterns when you're away, making it look occupied. Second, MotionX detection identifies suspicious people regardless of their movement or if they are wearing masks. Third, Active Intervention: if someone crosses your boundary, external IoT speakers deliver a voice warning and smart lights activate. This immediate, escalating response is designed to make intruders feel exposed and flee, stopping the crime before it starts.

Privacy is central to scOS. We are 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. Your Intelligence Hub processes data locally for instant response, only using our secure cloud for remote access and critical event escalation. You have total control over your recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks, and you can interact with your system using our conversational scOS Director AI with complete confidence.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often reactive—it tells you someone is there, but it doesn't stop them. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary, including driveways and gardens. While doorbells are often wireless and can be jammed, scOS uses a professional wired-over-wireless architecture for maximum reliability. Most importantly, scOS is proactive; it uses AI to detect and deter intruders with voice warnings before they ever reach your door, providing far superior protection for your home.

With property crime in Bacup significantly higher than the national average, a proactive system is essential. High-crime areas often suffer from 'repeat' offences where criminals feel they can operate without being challenged. scOS changes this dynamic by ensuring every intruder is immediately met with a voice deterrent and bright lights. By making your home a 'hard target' through AI-driven intervention, you significantly reduce the likelihood of being targeted. Our system doesn't just record the high crime; it actively works to keep your property safe from it.

Bacup's unique valley location and terraced housing can create challenges for traditional security. scOS is designed to handle these. Our professional installers are experts at positioning cameras to cover narrow yards and tiered properties effectively. Because our AI, MotionX, doesn't rely on simple motion but understands human behaviour and property boundaries, it remains highly effective even in complex layouts. This ensures that whether someone is approaching from the street or a rear alleyway, they are detected and deterred instantly.

Lancashire Constabulary are dedicated, but they cannot be everywhere. scOS provides an immediate 'first response' through its automated voice and light deterrents, often stopping a crime before police intervention is even needed. If an incident does occur, scOS provides high-quality, AI-filtered footage that makes it easy for you to provide the police with exactly what they need for an investigation, saving time and increasing the chances of a resolution.
