Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records the crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on 'motion masks' that you have to manually draw—and which often fail when a spider crawls over the lens or the wind blows a tree—scOS uses MotionX. This revolutionary technology focuses only on 'important activity.' It ignores environmental noise like cobwebs or animals and instead recognises human patterns, even if someone is trying to hide their shape or crawl. Because it understands what it's seeing, it can trigger instant responses like lights and voice warnings before a break-in occurs. You aren't just getting a recording of a burglary; you're getting a system designed to prevent it from ever happening, all managed by our UK-based Intelligence Hub.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence security network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes between 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub then applies our advanced AI, such as MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition, to your existing feeds. It’s a cost-effective way to upgrade to world-class security without replacing every piece of hardware you already own, provided they are wired systems, as we prioritise wired connections over jammer-prone wireless setups.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you’re out in Chester or away for the weekend. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary—no 'tripwires' needed. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This isn't just a quiet notification on your phone; it’s an escalating response where external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings and lights flash to signal the intruder has been spotted. By combining the appearance of someone being home with immediate, vocal recognition of an intruder's presence, scOS stops most crimes before a window is ever smashed.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Unlike many competitors who ship data to overseas servers, your video and data are processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours and is never sold or accessed by third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible via our secure app from anywhere in the world. By keeping everything within the UK—from our support teams to our servers—we ensure the highest standards of data sovereignty and security, giving you peace of mind that your home's private moments stay private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they’ve already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a proactive, whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses MotionX to detect suspicious behaviour anywhere on your land, not just the front porch. Furthermore, doorbells rarely deter a determined criminal; scOS actively intervenes with voice deterrents and light responses. While a doorbell provides a recording of a crime, scOS is designed to prevent the crime from happening in the first place. It’s the difference between a digital peephole and having a virtual security guard watching every corner of your Christleton or Waverton home 24/7.

Christleton and Waverton are highly desirable areas, which unfortunately makes them targets for sophisticated burglars looking for high-value properties and vehicles. scOS is designed to counter this with advanced AI. Our Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied even when you're away, which is the best way to prevent being targeted. If someone does approach, our MotionX AI will detect them instantly, even if they are trying to hide their face or move stealthily. The system then uses voice deterrents to let them know they've been spotted, which is usually enough to make even a professional criminal move on to an easier target.

Yes, scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is essential for protecting high-value vehicles in your driveway. The system logs every car that enters your property and checks its registration against the DVLA database. This can flag cloned plates or vehicles that have been linked to suspicious activity in the Cheshire area. By monitoring your driveway 24/7, scOS ensures you are aware of exactly who is visiting your property, providing an extra layer of protection for your cars and your home's perimeter.

Cheshire Constabulary is active in the area, but scOS provides an autonomous first response that doesn't rely on police arrival times. By using escalating voice warnings and light responses, the system often resolves a threat before it becomes a crime. If you do need to contact the police, scOS provides high-quality, 24/7 recorded evidence and vehicle data, which is far more useful for an investigation than standard CCTV. This gives you an extra layer of protection and confidence, knowing your home can defend itself even when police resources are busy.
