Traditional CCTV is a passive system; it records a crime but does nothing to prevent it. In Culcheth, where property crime rates are lower than the national average, you need a system that acts as a deterrent to prevent becoming a target. scOS uses MotionX technology to provide active monitoring. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw motion masks—which often fail—MotionX automatically understands your property boundaries. It ignores 'noise' like wind or birds and focuses purely on important activity. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with automatic lights and voice warnings from external IoT speakers, stopping intruders before they can even attempt a break-in.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have a camera system at your Culcheth home, our professional UK-based installers can often integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence AI system. During our 4-6 hour installation, we'll assess your hardware to ensure it's fully compatible with our AI features, providing a seamless upgrade that maximises your existing investment while significantly boosting your security.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your internal activity patterns to make your home look occupied while you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they move or if they're trying to hide their face. Third is Active Intervention; if an intruder is detected, scOS uses external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and triggers instant lighting. This escalating response alerts the intruder that they've been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Privacy is a top priority for us. scOS is 100% UK-based, with all data stored in secure UK data centres and managed in full compliance with GDPR. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis or remote access. Your data is never sold to third parties, and you have complete control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible from anywhere.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. For Culcheth residents, scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring all boundaries and identifying threats before they reach your house. While a doorbell might show you a crime after it's happened, scOS is designed to stop it from happening in the first place. It uses behaviour-based person recognition to distinguish between family and strangers, providing a much higher level of security for your entire home and grounds.

Culcheth's desirable location between Manchester and Liverpool makes it a prime spot for 'car-key' burglaries, where criminals target high-value vehicles. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the registration of any vehicle entering your property against the national database. It can instantly flag suspicious or cloned plates, providing an extra layer of protection for your cars and giving you an early warning of potential threats before they reach your front door.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask questions like, 'Was there any unusual activity near the driveway last night?' or 'Did the delivery driver leave the parcel in the porch?' The system will search your 24/7 recordings and provide an instant, accurate answer. It’s a powerful tool that keeps you informed about your home's security without the need to scroll through hours of footage.

Our MotionX technology is a game-changer for village life. It's specifically designed to ignore common causes of false alarms, such as local wildlife, swaying trees, or even spiders on the lens. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity'—human movement and vehicle patterns. This means you won't be bothered by constant notifications for every cat that walks past, but you will be alerted the moment a genuine threat is detected on your property.
