Most CCTV systems in Cumbria are 'passive,' meaning they record footage to a hard drive for you to look at after a burglary has already occurred. In a quiet village like Broughton in Furness, you need a system that prevents the crime from happening in the first place. scOS is an 'active' system. It uses MotionX technology to monitor your property boundaries 24/7. Unlike standard cameras that trigger on any movement—like a sheep or a swaying branch—MotionX only alerts on 'important activity,' such as a person approaching your home. When it detects a threat, it doesn't just record; it actively deters the intruder using lights and voice warnings. It’s like having a digital security guard who never sleeps, ensuring your home stays as safe as the village feels.

Yes, scOS is designed to be fully compatible with most existing wired IP camera setups. If you’ve already invested in cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, we can usually integrate them into the scOS ecosystem. Our professional UK installers will visit your Broughton in Furness home for a single-day installation (usually 4-6 hours) to set up the scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub takes the video feed from your 'dumb' cameras and applies our advanced AI layers to them, giving you features like MotionX detection and DVLA vehicle recognition without needing to replace your existing hardware. We focus on wired connections over wireless to ensure your system can't be jammed, providing a robust solution for rural properties.

We use a three-tiered approach to deterrence that is perfect for rural homes. First is Presence Simulation: scOS learns how you use your home and mimics those patterns—turning lights on and off in a natural sequence—to make it look like someone is home even when you're out in the Lakes. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they step onto your land, even if they are trying to hide their face or silhouette. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder persists, the system triggers external lights and authoritative voice warnings from IoT speakers. This immediate, escalating response usually causes criminals to flee, as they realise the home is actively monitored and their anonymity is gone.

We understand that privacy is paramount for our customers in Broughton in Furness. That’s why scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for maximum speed and security, with only essential data escalated to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK cloud servers. We never sell your data to third parties, and you have total control over your footage. You can access your 24/7 recordings from anywhere in the world via our app, with up to two weeks of history stored securely. Your home life remains private, protected by the same high-level encryption used by financial institutions, ensuring that your security system never becomes a privacy risk.

A video doorbell is a great tool for seeing who is delivering a parcel, but it’s not a complete security system. Most doorbells only look at a small area directly in front of your door and are reactive—they tell you someone is there once they've already arrived. For larger properties in Broughton in Furness, you need to secure your entire boundary. scOS monitors your whole property, detecting intruders long before they reach your front door. Furthermore, doorbells often rely on battery and WiFi, which can be unreliable in rural areas or easily jammed. scOS uses professional wired cameras and AI to stop crime before it happens, rather than just filming it at the doorstep.

Rural properties often struggle with 'false positives' from traditional security systems because of local wildlife, pets, and wind. MotionX was built specifically to solve this. Our AI is trained to ignore non-human movement. Whether it’s a fox in the garden, a sheep wandering near the gate, or trees swaying in a Cumbrian storm, scOS stays silent. It only triggers an alert when it detects 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour or vehicle movement. This means you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a false alarm, but you can rest easy knowing that if a person does enter your property, the system will catch them instantly.

In rural Cumbria, police response times can be longer than in major cities. This makes the 'Active Intervention' phase of scOS even more critical. Because scOS doesn't just alert the police—it actively works to drive the intruder away using escalating light and voice deterrents—it provides an immediate defence that doesn't rely on a patrol car being nearby. By the time a criminal hears the AI voice warning and sees the lights flash, they typically decide that your home is too high-risk and move on. scOS buys you the most valuable commodity in a security situation: time and prevention.

We know that internet speeds in Broughton in Furness can sometimes be temperamental. scOS is designed with this in mind. Our system uses a 'Local + Cloud' processing model. The core intelligence—the MotionX detection and the immediate deterrent responses—happens locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub. This means that even if your internet connection dips, your home is still being actively protected and the deterrents will still fire. The cloud is primarily used for remote alerts and off-site backup. Additionally, we use wired connections for our cameras rather than WiFi, ensuring that your internal security network remains stable and unjammable regardless of your external broadband speed.
