Traditional CCTV is a passive recording tool; it’s a digital witness that only helps after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive security system. The core difference is our MotionX technology, which ignores 'noise' like pets or wind and focuses only on 'important activity' like human presence. When a person is detected, scOS doesn't just record them; it acts. It uses automatic boundary detection to trigger lights and voice warnings, stopping an intruder in their tracks. It’s about prevention, not just evidence gathering for the Lancashire Constabulary.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your current setup and connect it to our Intelligence Hub. This Hub adds the AI 'brain' to your existing cameras, enabling features like person recognition, DVLA vehicle checks, and proactive deterrents. This allows you to upgrade to the latest home intelligence without the cost of replacing all your hardware.

scOS uses a three-layered deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation mimics your daily activity patterns when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, MotionX identifies potential threats with high precision, even if they are trying to hide their identity. Third, if an intruder crosses your property boundary, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This includes instant lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, automated response is highly effective at deterring criminals before they can attempt a break-in.

Privacy is a top priority for us. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid of local and cloud processing: the Intelligence Hub handles most tasks locally for speed and privacy, only using the cloud for essential escalations. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for 14 days and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, including side gates and gardens, and detects threats the moment they step onto your land. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS is designed to stop a crime before it happens, whereas a doorbell often just records the crime in progress. For a home in Bolton-le-Sands, scOS offers far superior protection.

Bolton-le-Sands is a popular place for retirees and those who enjoy travel. When you're away, scOS's Presence Simulation is your best defence. It doesn't just use simple timers; it uses AI to learn and replicate your home's natural activity patterns, making it look truly lived-in. You can also use 'scOS Director' to ask natural questions about your home from anywhere in the world, such as 'Has the gardener been?' or 'Was there any activity last night?', giving you total peace of mind while you're away.

Coastal environments can be tough on electronics. scOS prioritises wired connections over wireless, which are not only more secure against jamming but also more reliable in the face of coastal weather. Our professional installation ensures that all cabling and equipment are properly protected. Because the system uses a local Intelligence Hub, it continues to provide proactive protection even if your internet connection is temporarily affected by local weather conditions.

Vehicle theft is a concern in any community. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies every car that enters your driveway. It can check registrations against the DVLA database to spot cloned plates or unauthorised vehicles. If an unknown person approaches your car at night, MotionX detects the 'important activity' and can trigger an immediate light and voice response, deterring the thief before they can even touch your vehicle.
