Every time you leave home, there's that nagging worry. Did I lock up properly? Is someone watching the house? You shouldn't have to feel anxious about your own home.
Something happened in the garden last night. Now you're scrubbing through 8 hours of footage trying to find 30 seconds of activity. Life's too short for this.

Not motion. Not shadows. scOS detects the kind of activity a trained security guard would notice. When your phone buzzes, it matters.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Croston
Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, providing you with a video of a person in a mask after your valuables are gone. scOS is proactive home intelligence. Our system uses MotionX technology, which doesn't just look for 'motion' like old systems that get triggered by spiders or wind. Instead, it identifies 'important activity'—specifically recognising people and vehicles with near-zero false alarms. Because it understands what it's seeing, it can intervene before a break-in occurs. While your old system waits for you to check the footage, scOS is actively monitoring your Croston property, ready to deploy lights and voice warnings the moment a boundary is breached. It’s the difference between a witness and a digital security guard.
Yes, in most cases we can. scOS is brand agnostic, meaning we can transform 'dumb' wired IP cameras from manufacturers like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti into an intelligent AI-driven network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. If your cameras are wired and compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video locally before escalating critical data to our UK cloud. This means you don't have to strip out your existing investment to get world-class AI protection. We give your current cameras the 'brain' they’ve been missing, allowing them to detect covered faces and recognise family members.
scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy to stop criminals before they reach your door. First is Presence Simulation: our AI learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making your house appear occupied to anyone watching from the street. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a threat the moment they step onto your property boundary—even if they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Finally, we use Active Intervention. Unlike systems that just record, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and instant illumination. This immediate, intelligent response signals to the intruder that they have been spotted by a live system, usually causing them to flee before any damage is done.
Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the 'thinking' locally on your property, only escalating to the cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote alerts. Your footage and data are yours alone; we never sell user data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible anywhere in the world via our secure app. You get the power of AI without sacrificing the privacy of your home life.
A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. By then, it's often 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, scOS is designed to stop crime, not just record it. While a doorbell might send a notification to your phone while you're busy, scOS automatically intervenes with voice deterrents and lighting. It’s a comprehensive security ecosystem that protects every corner of your home, ensuring that by the time a criminal gets near your door, they’ve already been told to leave.
Croston is a picturesque village, and we understand the importance of maintaining its aesthetic. Our professional installation is discreet, and because scOS can work with your existing cameras, you don't need to add bulky new hardware. The Intelligence Hub is hidden away inside your home, and our external IoT speakers are compact and positioned to be effective without being an eyesore. We provide high-tech protection that respects the charm of your Lancashire home.
Lancashire Constabulary are proactive, but they can't be everywhere. scOS acts as a force multiplier for your home. By providing instant, AI-driven intervention, scOS often stops a crime before it's even committed. If you do need to involve the police, our system provides high-quality, verified evidence that focuses only on the 'important activity,' making it much easier for officers to identify and pursue suspects.
Yes. We know that many Croston residents have outbuildings or workshops. scOS is designed to protect your entire property, not just the main house. Our AI can monitor multiple cameras covering your garden, garage, or workshop, providing the same level of proactive protection and voice deterrents across your whole boundary.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
