Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records crime after it has happened. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime in its tracks. Using our MotionX technology, scOS identifies 'important activity'—specifically human movement—while ignoring the wind, rain, and wildlife common in Cockermouth. Unlike standard systems that require manual 'zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, it doesn't just record; it reacts with automatic lights and AI voice warnings from external IoT speakers, deterring criminals before they can even reach your home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If your Cockermouth home already has a wired camera system, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with it, transforming your 'dumb' cameras into a proactive AI security network. During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your current hardware and ensure it is fully optimised for scOS, providing you with advanced protection without the need for a total hardware replacement.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your internal activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you're out for a walk by the River Cocker or away on holiday. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders even if they are disguised or hiding. Third is Active Intervention: if someone enters your boundary, the system triggers instant lighting and escalating voice warnings via external IoT speakers. This proactive approach ensures that any intruder feels immediately challenged, usually causing them to leave before any crime is committed.

Privacy is a top priority for scOS. We are 100% UK-based, meaning your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data to third parties. You have total control and 24/7 access to your recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks. For Cockermouth residents, this means your home security is managed with the highest British standards of data protection, ensuring your private life remains private.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers your front door. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your driveway, gardens, and boundaries. While a doorbell might show you a package being taken, scOS detects the intruder at the edge of your property and uses proactive deterrents to stop them from ever reaching your door. It’s the difference between seeing a crime happen and preventing it from happening in the first place, providing much more comprehensive protection for your Cockermouth home.

Cockermouth is a safe and close-knit community, but its position as a gateway to the Lake District can bring a lot of through-traffic. scOS ensures your home remains a private sanctuary. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore 'background' motion like pedestrians on the pavement or cars passing on the street, only alerting you when someone actually enters your property. This means you get the benefits of high-end security without the annoyance of constant false alarms, allowing you to enjoy the peace of Cockermouth.

Cumbria's weather can be unpredictable, but scOS is built to handle it. Our professional installation uses high-quality, wired connections rather than relying on potentially unstable Wi-Fi, which can be affected by thick stone walls and heavy rain. Wired systems are also immune to 'signal jamming' devices. Our external IoT speakers and AI-integrated cameras are weather-rated to withstand the Cumbrian elements, ensuring that your proactive protection remains functional and reliable year-round, regardless of the weather coming off the fells.

Absolutely. One of the most powerful features of scOS is 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI. You can ask natural questions like 'Was there any unusual activity while I was out today?' or 'Did the delivery driver come to the back door?' It’s like having a security guard who has watched every second of your footage and can give you an instant summary. This makes managing your home security incredibly simple, whether you're at home in Cockermouth or exploring the nearby fells.
