Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records crime as it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a person in a hoodie after the damage is done. scOS transforms your security into a proactive 'digital guard' using our proprietary MotionX technology, which understands the difference between a fox, a swaying branch, and a genuine human threat without needing complex motion masks. Instead of just watching, scOS intervenes the moment a boundary is crossed, using AI-driven light and voice responses to deter intruders before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a protector.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can often breathe new life into your existing Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink wired IP cameras. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes your camera feeds locally with AI precision, turning 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, proactive network. This saves you the cost of a full hardware overhaul while significantly upgrading your home's IQ.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop crime before it starts. First, our Presence Simulation learns your daily habits to make your home look occupied even when you're out in the Ribble Valley, simulating internal activity patterns. Second, our MotionX AI identifies 'important activity' with zero false alarms, recognising people even if they try to conceal their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they are being monitored.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then securely backed up to our UK-based data centres, ensuring full GDPR compliance. Unlike many international brands, we never sell your data or allow third-party access; your footage and home intelligence remain entirely under your control. You get the speed of local processing with the reliability of cloud storage, all within the UK's legal jurisdiction.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your front door, which is often too late to prevent a break-in. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary and detecting threats the moment they step onto your land, not just when they press a button. While a doorbell might capture a package theft, scOS is designed to prevent the theft from happening in the first place through proactive AI intervention and escalating deterrents. It’s a comprehensive security ecosystem versus a single-point camera.

Clitheroe's property crime rate is lower than the national average, but this often makes the town a target for thieves looking for high-value items in 'quiet' areas. scOS ensures you don't become an easy target by providing a visible and audible deterrent that most homes lack. By proactively identifying and challenging anyone who enters your property uninvited, scOS maintains the security of your home even when local crime rates are low.

Yes, scOS features 'Covered Face Detection.' If someone approaches your property wearing a balaclava, mask, or even a tightly pulled hood in a suspicious manner, the system immediately flags this as an anomaly. It can then trigger an immediate voice warning or alert you via the app, ensuring that attempts to hide from traditional CCTV are met with an intelligent, proactive response.

The scOS Director is a conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security as if you were talking to a guard. You can ask, 'Director, was there any activity near the garage last night?' or 'What time did the gardener arrive?' and get an instant, accurate answer. It removes the need to scroll through hours of footage, giving you the information you need in seconds.
