Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device—it's a digital witness that only helps after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which doesn't just detect 'motion' (like a swaying branch or a cat), but identifies 'important activity.' It recognises human behaviour and automatically understands your property boundaries without the need for complex manual setup. While standard CCTV waits for you to check the footage, scOS actively intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop an intruder before they can cause damage. It’s the difference between watching a burglary and preventing one.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If your Fence home already has a wired IP camera system (such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink), we can usually integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This 'upcycles' your existing hardware, giving it the power of MotionX AI, presence simulation, and conversational search. During our professional installation—which takes about 4-6 hours—our UK engineers will verify your equipment's compatibility. This allows you to upgrade to the UK's most advanced home intelligence without the cost and disruption of a full hardware replacement, making it a seamless transition to superior security.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away, the system mimics your internal lighting patterns to make the house look lived-in. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people even if they are masked or attempting to hide. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected at your boundary, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver a voice warning and activates high-intensity lighting. This escalating response makes it clear to any intruder that they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee before they even reach your windows or doors.

We take data privacy extremely seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, meaning all your data is stored in secure UK data centres and handled in strict accordance with GDPR. Unlike other brands that send footage to overseas servers, your video stays under UK jurisdiction. We use a hybrid of local processing (on your Intelligence Hub) and cloud processing for maximum security and speed. Your data is yours alone; we never sell it to third parties. You have full access to 24/7 recordings for up to two weeks, giving you total oversight of your property's security.

A video doorbell only monitors a tiny fraction of your property—the area immediately in front of your door. By the time a doorbell alerts you, the intruder is already at your house. scOS provides whole-property protection. It monitors your entire boundary, detecting suspicious activity at the edge of your garden or driveway. Furthermore, doorbells are reactive; they show you who is there but rarely stop them. scOS is proactive, using AI to intervene and drive criminals away. For a home in the Pendle district, a doorbell is a gadget, but scOS is a professional-grade security solution.

Fence is an affluent village, and we know that residents often have high-value vehicles. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which doesn't just see a car—it checks the registration against the national database. This allows the system to identify 'cloned' plates or vehicles that have been flagged as suspicious. If an unknown vehicle lingers near your driveway, scOS can alert you immediately. This is a vital tool for preventing car theft and 'keyless' entry crimes, providing an extra layer of intelligence that standard security systems simply cannot match.

Lancashire Constabulary, like many forces, values high-quality, actionable evidence. scOS provides exactly that. Because our MotionX technology eliminates false alarms, any alert you receive is a genuine event. If a crime is attempted, you have clear, 24/7 recorded evidence that includes person recognition and vehicle data. Furthermore, by deterring the criminal before the break-in occurs, scOS reduces the need for emergency police response, keeping your home safe even when local resources are under pressure. Our system is a proactive partner in local crime prevention for the Fence community.

For Fence residents who may commute to Burnley or Blackburn, scOS offers 'scOS Director,' a conversational AI. You can simply ask your system, 'Has anyone been near the perimeter today?' or 'Did the delivery arrive on time?' The AI understands natural language and will instantly scan your footage to give you a summary. This means you don't have to spend your evening scrolling through hours of video; you get the peace of mind of a security guard's report in seconds, accessible from anywhere in the world via your smartphone, ensuring your home is safe while you're away.
