Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch the footage later, which rarely leads to a conviction. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that monitors your property in real-time. At its core is MotionX, our revolutionary activity detection technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on 'motion masks' and are constantly triggered by swaying trees, spiders, or rain, MotionX focuses only on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or what they are wearing, effectively eliminating false alarms. When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record; it intervenes automatically with light and voice responses to deter the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a highly intelligent security network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX AI and proactive deterrent features to your current setup. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI protection without the need to replace every piece of hardware on your Ellesmere property, provided the cameras meet the necessary technical standards for high-quality video feed.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals before they even attempt a break-in. The first layer is Presence Simulation; the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary—even if the intruder is wearing a mask or hood. The final layer is Active Intervention. If a threat is detected, scOS triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination from external lights and progresses to clear voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By making it clear to the intruder that they have been spotted and that the home is 'intelligent,' scOS removes the element of surprise and forces them to move on.

We take your privacy and data security incredibly seriously. Unlike many home security companies that outsource their data management, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully compliant with GDPR regulations. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub processes video locally on your property for immediate response, and only escalates to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell your information or footage to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your front door, often after they've already pressed the button or attempted to enter. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including side gates, gardens, and driveways. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens. A doorbell might record a package thief, but scOS will detect that person the moment they step onto your driveway and use voice deterrents to warn them off before they ever reach the door. It’s a comprehensive security ecosystem that offers proactive protection for your entire Ellesmere home, rather than just a single entry point.

Ellesmere’s location near the Shropshire/Wales border can make it a target for cross-border opportunistic crime. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is a powerful tool for identifying suspicious vehicles that may be 'scoping' the area. Our AI reads number plates and checks them against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with a history of suspicious activity or cloned plates is detected near your property, scOS can alert you immediately. This early warning system allows you to be proactive, ensuring that your home is never seen as an easy target for those passing through the area.

Many Ellesmere properties have large gardens or are situated near the Meres, which can attract both wildlife and unwanted visitors. Traditional motion sensors are often plagued by false alarms from animals or wind-blown foliage. Our MotionX technology is revolutionary because it ignores these distractions entirely. It is trained to recognise human movement and behaviour, meaning it won't bother you when a fox wanders across the lawn. This 'zero false alarm' promise is essential for Ellesmere residents who want to trust their security system without being bombarded by useless alerts.

Yes, scOS is perfect for Ellesmere residents who may have second homes or travel frequently. Our Presence Simulation technology is far more advanced than simple light timers. It learns your actual habits—when you use specific rooms, when the TV is on, and how lights are used throughout the evening. When you're away, it replicates these patterns to make your home look genuinely lived-in. Combined with 24/7 remote access via our app, you can check on your property from anywhere in the world, knowing that scOS is actively defending your home and simulating your presence.
