Traditional CCTV is a passive witness that only records crime as it happens, often leaving you with nothing but grainy footage of a getaway. scOS transforms your security into a proactive digital guard. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, the system ignores irrelevant movement like swaying trees or pets and focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is detected, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic lighting and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between watching a crime and preventing one entirely.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. We can take your existing 'dumb' wired IP cameras—whether they are Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, or Axis—and give them a 'brain.' By connecting your current hardware to our scOS Intelligence Hub, we upgrade your passive recording setup into a fully proactive AI security system. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current cameras to ensure they meet the technical requirements for our AI processing. This allows you to leverage your previous investments while benefiting from world-class AI monitoring and proactive protection.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal touches your property. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal activity patterns and simulates them while you're away, making your home appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour—even if the person is crawling or wearing a mask—without the false alarms that lead to complacency. Finally, if an intruder crosses your boundary, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By removing the element of surprise and making the intruder feel watched, scOS forces them to move on.

Privacy and trust are at the heart of scOS. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information remain your property and are never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your data through the scOS app, with 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recorded footage, ensuring you have the evidence you need while maintaining absolute digital privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your door—often when it's already too late. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back fence. More importantly, doorbells rarely deter a determined criminal; they just record them. scOS proactively intervenes using AI-driven lights and voice deterrents to stop a crime before the perpetrator even reaches your front door. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection, scOS offers a level of professional-grade security that a consumer doorbell simply cannot match.

For Burscough residents with properties backing onto the Leeds and Liverpool Canal or near public footpaths, traditional motion sensors are a nightmare of false alarms. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is designed to ignore the movement of water, swaying reeds, and even animals like ducks or foxes. It focuses purely on 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour. Because the AI automatically detects your property boundary, it knows the difference between a person walking their dog on the towpath and someone stepping onto your private land. This ensures you only get alerted when there is a genuine reason for concern.

Burscough’s position on the A59 makes it a convenient route for transit, but it also means vehicles can easily scout the area. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically logs the registration plates of vehicles entering your property's vicinity. The system can distinguish between a recognised family car and a stranger's vehicle that has passed by multiple times in a suspicious pattern. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a history of suspicious activity is detected, scOS can alert you immediately, providing a vital layer of protection against organised theft and 'hook and cane' burglaries.

Yes, scOS is ideal for protecting the outbuildings, sheds, and garages common in Burscough. Unlike wireless systems that often lose signal at the bottom of a garden, scOS uses professional-grade wired connections that cannot be jammed. Our AI monitoring extends to these structures, detecting if someone is loitering near your garage or attempting to force entry into a shed. With the escalating response feature, the system can trigger lights and voice warnings at the perimeter of your outbuildings, stopping thieves before they can access your tools, bikes, or garden equipment.
