Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime for you to watch later. scOS is proactive, designed to stop the crime before it happens. Our MotionX technology is a revolutionary leap forward, focusing on 'important activity' rather than just pixels moving. Unlike standard systems that require complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from the wind or spiders, MotionX works out of the box. It ignores cobwebs, animals, and environmental noise, but instantly recognises a person whether they are walking, crawling, or attempting to hide their figure. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automated light and voice responses to drive intruders away.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them into an intelligent AI system. During our professional installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Hub, we can apply our MotionX detection and proactive deterrent layers to your current setup, saving you the cost of full hardware replacement while vastly upgrading your home's intelligence.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, our primary passive deterrent. It learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them while you're away—turning internal lights and devices on and off to make the property appear occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the boundary without false alarms. Finally, if a threat persists, scOS initiates an active intervention. This includes instant illumination of external lights and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These warnings are delivered by AI to inform the intruder they have been detected and the police are being notified.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike many competitors, we never sell your data. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes video locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud when AI analysis or remote access is required. You have full control over your recordings, with up to two weeks of 24/7 footage accessible only to you through our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that shows you who is at your front door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While a doorbell might catch a parcel thief after the fact, scOS is designed to stop a break-in before it starts. We use professional-grade wired cameras that cannot be jammed like wireless doorbells, and our AI monitors every angle of your property, not just the entrance. With scOS, you aren't just watching your porch; you are securing your entire perimeter with proactive AI intervention.

Elworth is a popular choice for professionals commuting from Sandbach station, meaning many homes are left empty during the day. scOS's Presence Simulation is the perfect solution for this. It doesn't just use simple timers; it learns your actual habits and mimics them—turning on lights, TVs, or radios in a natural pattern. This makes your home appear occupied to any opportunist thief watching the street, providing peace of mind while you're at the office or on the train.

With a property crime rate of just 9.54, Elworth is exceptionally safe, but this can lead to a false sense of security. High-value homes in Cheshire are often targeted by organised car thieves. scOS's DVLA Vehicle Recognition and Covered Face Detection are vital here. If someone approaches your driveway wearing a mask or driving a vehicle with suspicious plates, scOS will alert you and trigger deterrents immediately, ensuring your home doesn't become the exception to Elworth's low crime statistics.

Our scOS Director feature allows you to interact with your home security using natural language. If you're away from Elworth, you can simply ask, 'Director, has anyone been to the front door today?' or 'Was there any unusual activity last night?' The AI will provide a concise summary of important events, saving you from scrolling through hours of footage. It's like having a digital security guard who knows your property inside out.
