Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is an active participant in your home's security. Most systems use 'motion masks' that trigger for every passing animal or swaying branch, but scOS uses MotionX technology. This AI focuses only on 'important activity,' ignoring the environment while instantly recognising human presence, even if they are trying to hide their figure. Most importantly, scOS intervenes. It automatically detects your property boundaries and uses lights and voice warnings to stop intruders before they reach your home. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a proactive security guard.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have cameras, our Intelligence Hub can likely take them over, upgrading them with our advanced AI. During our professional UK installation (which takes 4-6 hours), our engineers will assess your current setup. We always recommend wired over wireless connections because they are immune to the signal jamming often used by modern burglars, ensuring your security remains robust and reliable even in the variable weather of the Rossendale Valley.

scOS deters criminals through three layers of proactive protection. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns when you're out. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders at your property boundary, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third is Active Intervention: the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers automatic light responses. These are escalating AI-driven responses that make it clear to an intruder that they are being watched and that the system is actively defending the property.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK. Your Intelligence Hub processes data locally for immediate response, and any data sent to the cloud is protected by strict UK privacy laws and is fully GDPR compliant. We never sell or share 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, giving you peace of mind that your data is safe.

A video doorbell is a reactive device; it only tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already arrived. scOS is a proactive, whole-property system. It monitors your entire boundary, not just the front door, and uses AI to stop intruders before they ever get close. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and scOS Director—which lets you ask natural questions about your property—scOS provides a comprehensive security solution that a doorbell simply can't match. For homes in Edenfield with gardens and driveways, whole-home protection is essential.

Edenfield is a safe village, but its semi-rural location can mean that police response times are longer than in urban areas. scOS acts as your first line of defence, providing an immediate, escalating response that doesn't wait for a patrol car. By using external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and instant lighting, the system often scares off intruders before they even attempt a break-in. You get an instant notification, and you can use scOS Director to check your property's status at any time.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be incredibly user-friendly. You don't need to be a tech expert to use it. Our scOS Director feature allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can simply ask, 'Is the back gate secure?' or 'Was there any activity last night?' and the AI will give you a clear answer. Our professional UK-based team handles the entire installation in a single day, ensuring your system is perfectly set up and that you know exactly how to use it.

Many homes in Edenfield have driveways or outbuildings that are vulnerable to opportunistic theft. scOS uses MotionX technology to provide zero-false-alarm monitoring of these areas. It automatically understands where your property ends and the public space begins. If someone steps onto your driveway with ill intent, the system will immediately respond with lights and a voice deterrent, stopping them in their tracks before they can even get near your car or front door. With DVLA vehicle recognition, it can also log any unfamiliar cars loitering nearby.
