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.
Your phone buzzes constantly. A cat. Cobwebs. Headlights. After a while you stop checking, which defeats the entire point of having cameras.
Not motion. Not shadows. scOS detects the kind of activity a trained security guard would notice. When your phone buzzes, it matters.
Family, friends, the builder—scOS learns who belongs. No repetitive alerts for familiar faces. Only strangers trigger attention.
Message scOS for pre-edited clips across all cameras, or ask when the bin was last emptied. It's like having staff you can actually talk to.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Darwen
Standard CCTV is passive; it records crime for the police to look at later. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology identifies 'important activity'—like a person loitering near your door—rather than just 'motion' like a passing car on the A666. It requires no motion masks and produces zero false alarms. When scOS detects a threat, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with lights and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they get inside. It’s a complete security shift from watching crime to preventing it.
Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic. If you already have wired IP cameras (like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink) installed at your Darwen home, we can usually integrate them. Our Intelligence Hub connects to your existing system, upgrading your 'dumb' cameras with our advanced AI. During our 4-6 hour professional installation, we’ll assess your setup and ensure everything is optimised for MotionX detection and proactive response, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement.
We use three layers of deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to make your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns while you're out. Second is MotionX detection, which spots intruders even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third is Active Intervention: if someone enters your property, scOS triggers external lights and voice warnings from IoT speakers. This immediate, escalating response makes it clear to any criminal that they are being watched by an intelligent system, causing them to flee.
Your data stays in the UK. We use secure UK-based data centres and are fully GDPR compliant. Unlike other brands that might store footage on international servers, scOS ensures your privacy is protected by UK law. We never sell your data. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app from anywhere in the world.
A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often reactive—you get a notification after they've already knocked. scOS protects your entire property boundary. In Darwen, where property crime rates are higher than the national average, you need more than just a doorbell. scOS detects threats at the edge of your property and uses active deterrents to stop them before they ever reach your door, providing a much higher level of protection.
With Darwen's property crime rate being a concern, our DVLA Vehicle Recognition is a vital tool. It checks the registration of any vehicle entering your driveway against the DVLA database. This helps identify suspicious vehicles or those with cloned plates that might be scouting the area. You can ask scOS Director, 'Who has parked on my drive today?' to get an instant report, giving you an extra layer of intelligence against vehicle-related crime.
Darwen's weather can be unpredictable, but scOS is built for it. We use professional-grade, wired installations rather than wireless cameras that can fail in heavy rain or be jammed by criminals. Our external IoT speakers and lighting systems are weather-rated and designed to function perfectly in the Pennine mist and rain, ensuring your proactive protection never takes a day off, regardless of the Lancashire weather.
scOS Director is our conversational AI. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask it questions like, 'Was there anyone in the back garden last night?' or 'Did the delivery driver come at 2 PM?' It understands natural language and provides quick, accurate answers based on the activity it has recorded. It’s like having a security guard who has watched every second of your footage and can report back to you instantly.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
