Every time you leave home, there's that nagging worry. Did I lock up properly? Is someone watching the house? You shouldn't have to feel anxious about your own home.
Something happened in the garden last night. Now you're scrubbing through 8 hours of footage trying to find 30 seconds of activity. Life's too short for this.
Your phone buzzes constantly. A cat. Cobwebs. Headlights. After a while you stop checking, which defeats the entire point of having cameras.
Not motion. Not shadows. scOS detects the kind of activity a trained security guard would notice. When your phone buzzes, it matters.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Betley
Traditional CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS transforms your security from passive to proactive. While standard systems rely on motion masks that are often triggered by wind or spiders, our MotionX technology focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their figure, resulting in zero false alarms. Instead of just filming an intruder, scOS identifies them at your property boundary and initiates an immediate response, such as activating lights or voice deterrents, to prevent the incident from escalating.
Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from manufacturers like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can typically integrate with them to provide an AI upgrade. During our professional UK installation, which usually takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By layering our AI intelligence over your existing cameras, we transform 'dumb' recording devices into a sophisticated, proactive security shield without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.
scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making the property appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the property boundary, even if the person is wearing a mask or hood. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This includes instant illumination through automatic light responses and escalating warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. This multi-stage approach is designed to discourage criminals long before they reach your front door.
Your privacy and data security are our highest priorities. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data is processed through our Intelligence Hub locally before being escalated to our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data remains yours and is never sold to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted cloud platform.
A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door, often after they have already arrived. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses AI to detect threats the moment they step onto your land, triggering deterrents like voice warnings and lights. It’s the difference between seeing a package being stolen and preventing the thief from ever stepping onto your driveway.
Betley's proximity to Crewe and the M6 makes it accessible for transit-based crime, where vehicles are often used to scout locations. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically checks the registrations of vehicles entering your property. If a vehicle with cloned plates or one that doesn't match the DVLA database is detected, the system can alert you immediately. This is a vital tool for identifying and deterring professional criminals who may be targeting affluent village properties.
Our Presence Simulation is perfect for Betley residents who may travel for work or leisure. The AI learns your typical internal activity—when lights go on, when certain rooms are used—and replicates these patterns when you're away. Unlike a simple timer, it simulates realistic human behaviour, making your home look genuinely occupied. This acts as a powerful primary deterrent, as most burglars will bypass a home that appears to have someone inside.
scOS is designed to be a 'set and forget' system. Our professional UK-based installers handle everything in a single day, typically taking 4-6 hours. They will set up the Intelligence Hub, integrate your cameras, and configure the AI to your property's specific boundaries. Once installed, the system manages itself, using MotionX to filter out false alarms and scOS Director to allow you to ask natural questions about your property's status at any time.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
