Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records what happens but doesn't stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Using our MotionX technology, the system distinguishes between 'important activity' and background noise like wind or animals. It recognises people even if they are trying to hide their face or change their shape. When scOS detects a threat, it doesn't just record—it takes action. By using automated lights and voice warnings, it deters intruders the moment they step onto your property, stopping crime before it happens.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. Our professional UK installation team can usually set up your system in 4-6 hours, connecting your existing cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This transforms your current setup into a proactive AI security network. We will assess your cameras during installation to ensure they are positioned for maximum effectiveness, giving your Clifton home an elite level of protection without needing to replace all your hardware.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns when you're away. Second, our MotionX AI detects suspicious behaviour the moment someone crosses your property boundary, identifying people regardless of how they move or if they are disguised. Third, the system initiates an Active Intervention, using external lights and authoritative voice warnings from IoT speakers to tell the intruder they've been spotted. This escalating response is designed to stop a crime before it even starts.

Your privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. Our Intelligence Hub processes data locally for immediate action and only escalates to the cloud for secure storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data is never sold or shared. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app from anywhere.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door and often only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive property protection, monitoring your entire boundary, including driveways and gardens. It uses AI to detect and deter intruders long before they reach your door. While a doorbell might capture a video of a theft, scOS is designed to prevent the theft from happening in the first place through proactive intervention and presence simulation.

While Clifton enjoys a very low crime rate, its proximity to the M60 and Manchester means it is not immune to professional thieves who target affluent areas. scOS ensures you don't become complacent. Our system provides 24/7 proactive monitoring, so even if crime is rare, your home is always protected. The presence of a visible, intelligent system like scOS is often enough to make a professional criminal choose an easier target elsewhere.

Clifton Country Park is a wonderful local asset, but it also brings a lot of foot traffic near residential areas. scOS features Automatic Property Boundary Detection, which means the AI automatically knows where your land ends and the public path begins. It won't trigger for every walker or dog in the park, but the moment someone steps onto your property, the system identifies them and prepares to respond. This allows you to enjoy the proximity to the park without worrying about your home's security.

For residents commuting into Salford or Manchester, scOS's Presence Simulation is a game-changer. It doesn't just turn lights on and off on a timer; it learns your actual habits and replicates them realistically. This makes your home appear occupied to anyone scouting the area, significantly reducing the chance of your property being targeted while you are at work. You can also use 'scOS Director' to ask natural questions like 'Has anyone been to the house today?' for instant peace of mind.
