Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is proactive, using our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' rather than just movement. While standard systems trigger false alarms for spiders or wind, MotionX ignores the noise and focuses on genuine threats, such as someone loitering near your property. Because scOS understands your property boundaries automatically, it can intervene the moment a line is crossed, rather than just filming the aftermath.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them into an AI-powered security network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it meets the technical requirements for scOS integration. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI intelligence without the cost of replacing every camera on your Eccles property.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour regardless of whether an intruder is wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination from external lights and authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they have been spotted.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information stay yours. We never sell your data, and you maintain total control over who can access your system through our secure app.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it. scOS monitors your entire property boundary, detecting threats before they reach your entrance. While a doorbell is a reactive tool for deliveries, scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. It provides 24/7 recording and sophisticated AI analysis that a battery-powered doorbell simply cannot match.

Eccles currently has an incredibly low crime rate, but in a busy urban area near the Trafford Centre, it only takes one opportunistic moment for that to change. scOS ensures you don't become a target by maintaining a proactive 'virtual guard' over your home. By simulating presence and detecting unusual activity patterns, scOS keeps your property from looking like an easy opportunity for criminals passing through the area.

In densely populated areas like Eccles, traditional motion sensors are often useless because they trigger every time a neighbour walks past. scOS uses AI to automatically detect your specific property boundaries. It ignores activity on the public pavement or in your neighbour's garden, only activating its deterrent features if someone actually steps onto your property. This means zero false alarms and no annoyed neighbours.

Yes. Our MotionX technology is designed to recognise people even if they are wearing hoods, masks, or balaclavas. While traditional systems might fail to 'see' a person if their face is covered, scOS focuses on movement patterns and body shape. If someone is lurking on your property with their face concealed, the system will flag this as highly suspicious and trigger an immediate escalating response.
