scOS is a proactive intelligence system, representing a significant leap over traditional passive CCTV. While standard cameras just record video, scOS uses MotionX technology to understand activity in real-time. It ignores false triggers like animals or wind and focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' There's no need for manual 'zones'; scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. Most importantly, it doesn't just record crime; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop intruders before they can act, providing a proactive digital guard for your home.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. Our Intelligence Hub can integrate your existing camera feeds and upgrade them with our advanced AI and proactive response capabilities. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it's compatible. This allows Bowdon residents to benefit from state-of-the-art AI security while making use of their existing infrastructure.

scOS deters criminals through three distinct layers of AI-driven protection. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your home's normal activity patterns to make it look occupied even when you're out. Second, our MotionX technology identifies suspicious people instantly, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, the system uses Active Intervention—triggering external IoT speakers to deliver authoritative voice warnings and instant lighting. This escalating response shows criminals that your home is protected by an active, intelligent system, usually forcing them to flee immediately.

Data privacy is a core pillar of scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. Most processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub, and you have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. Our wired systems also ensure your data is secure from the Wi-Fi jamming techniques that are increasingly used by modern criminals.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only monitors your front door; scOS is a proactive system that protects your entire property. Doorbells often have a limited field of view and can be prone to false alarms. scOS monitors your whole perimeter, including driveways and gardens, using AI to detect threats before they reach your house. For Bowdon residents, this comprehensive, proactive coverage is essential for true security, protecting all entry points and high-value assets.

Bowdon's extremely low crime rate is a testament to its community, but it can lead to a false sense of security. High-value homes in the 'Golden Triangle' are often targeted by sophisticated criminals who scout properties for high-value assets. scOS ensures you don't become a target by providing 24/7 proactive monitoring that never gets complacent. By making your home a 'hard target' with active deterrents, you significantly reduce the risk of targeted property crime, preserving the peace of mind that village life should provide.

Absolutely. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the registration plates of vehicles entering your driveway against the national database. This is particularly useful for identifying cloned plates or vehicles that have been flagged for suspicious activity. You can even ask the scOS Director, our conversational AI, questions like 'What cars have been on the drive today?' to get an instant summary of activity. This adds an extra layer of protection for your vehicles, which are often a primary target for property crime.

Our professional UK installation team can typically secure a Bowdon home in 4-6 hours. We handle the entire setup, from the Intelligence Hub installation to the calibration of the AI for your specific property boundaries. Because we use wired connections, the system is much more reliable and secure than wireless alternatives. Once installed, we'll show you how to use the scOS Director to monitor your home's intelligence and stay informed about any activity on your property.
