Traditional CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records your misfortune for you to watch later. scOS is a digital guardian. While standard systems rely on basic 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web, swaying branch, or passing fox, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity.' It understands the difference between a cat crossing your lawn and a person lurking near your windows. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. By the time a traditional system sends a notification to your phone, a crime has often already occurred. scOS intervenes the moment a boundary is crossed, using light and voice deterrents to stop the intruder in their tracks. It’s the difference between having a video of a burglary and preventing the burglary from ever happening. We provide a proactive shield, not just a passive record.

In most cases, yes. scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning it can transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with them. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Hub, we can apply our MotionX AI and proactive deterrent features to your current setup. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI intelligence without the need to replace every piece of hardware on your property, making the transition to proactive protection both sustainable and cost-effective.

scOS employs a multi-layered 'Proactive Protection' strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation. Unlike simple timer plugs, our AI learns your home's actual activity patterns and simulates them—turning lights on and off in different rooms naturally—to make the house look occupied when you're away. The second layer is our MotionX detection. It identifies threats with incredible accuracy, even if an intruder is crawling, changing their shape, or wearing a mask. Finally, if someone enters your property, the system initiates an Escalating Response. This starts with automatic lighting and moves to clear, authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. These are AI-driven responses that let the intruder know they have been spotted and are being monitored. This immediate, intelligent intervention is designed to make criminals flee before they even attempt to break in.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who send all your footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub for speed and security, and when cloud processing is required for advanced AI tasks, it is handled in secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You have complete control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that your security system should protect your home without compromising your personal privacy, ensuring that what happens on your property stays between you and your system.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you who is at your door, often after they have already pressed the button or triggered a delayed sensor. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home's exterior, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. Our system is designed to stop crime before it reaches your door. By detecting a person the moment they step onto your driveway or enter your garden, scOS can initiate deterrents like voice warnings and lighting before they ever get close to an entry point. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and easily jammed; scOS uses professional wired connections for 24/7 reliability that consumer-grade gadgets simply cannot match.

Duddon is a popular village for professionals commuting to Chester or Liverpool. This often means homes are empty for 10-12 hours a day. scOS solves this with 'Presence Simulation.' Our AI doesn't just use simple timers; it learns your actual habits—like which lights you use when making tea or watching TV—and replicates them while you're at work. To anyone watching from the A51, your home looks occupied and active, making it a much less attractive target for burglars who prefer empty houses.

Yes. We use professional wired installations rather than Wi-Fi. This is crucial because many modern burglars use 'Wi-Fi jammers' to disable consumer-grade cameras and doorbells. By using wired connections, scOS ensures that your security remains online and recording 24/7, regardless of any electronic interference. Our UK-based engineers complete the installation in a single day, ensuring your Duddon home is fully protected with a robust, unjammable system.

scOS uses Activity Pattern Recognition to learn what 'normal' looks like for your property. If you usually have a gardener on Tuesdays or a delivery at noon, the system understands these patterns. If it detects an anomaly—such as someone walking around the side of your house at 2 AM or a vehicle idling outside that it doesn't recognise—it will alert you immediately. This 'intelligent' monitoring means you aren't bothered by normal daily life, but you are the first to know when something is out of the ordinary.
