Traditional CCTV is a 'record and review' technology; it shows you how you were robbed after the fact. scOS is a 'detect and deter' technology. Our system uses MotionX, a revolutionary AI that understands the difference between a cat, a swaying tree, and a person. It doesn't need motion masks because it automatically learns your property boundaries. When it detects a person where they shouldn't be, it doesn't just record—it acts. Through external IoT speakers and lighting, it delivers a proactive response that tells the intruder they are being watched, stopping the crime in its tracks before any damage is done to your Foulridge home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will integrate your existing cameras into the scOS Intelligence Hub. This transforms your current 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, proactive system. We’ll assess your current setup to ensure the camera quality and placement are sufficient for our AI to perform at its best, allowing you to upgrade your security without necessarily needing to buy all new hardware.

scOS uses three distinct layers of deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your internal home activity to make it look like someone is home even when you're away. Second is our MotionX AI, which detects intruders the moment they cross your boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing a hood or mask. Third is Active Intervention: the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and switches on lights to illuminate the intruder. This combination of making the home look occupied and providing an immediate, intelligent response to any breach is what makes scOS so effective at stopping criminals.

Your data security and privacy are our top priorities. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. The system uses a hybrid approach: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes your video locally for maximum speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced AI features and to allow you to view your 24/7 footage remotely. You have total control over your data, which is stored for up to two weeks, giving you peace of mind that your privacy is protected.

A video doorbell only protects your front door and is largely reactive—it tells you someone is there once they've already arrived. scOS provides 360-degree intelligence for your entire property. It monitors your driveway, gardens, and side entrances, detecting threats long before they reach your door. Unlike a doorbell that just sends a phone notification, scOS proactively intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop an intruder. For Foulridge residents, especially those with larger plots or canal-side access, scOS offers a level of comprehensive protection that a doorbell simply cannot provide.

Foulridge’s location near the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the A56 makes it accessible to opportunistic thieves. scOS is particularly effective here because it doesn't just monitor the front of your house; it can secure your entire boundary, including any access points from the canal or rear gardens. Our MotionX AI is designed to work in all environments, so it won't be triggered by water movement or wildlife, but it will instantly recognise a person approaching from the towpath. This ensures your home is protected from every angle, not just the street side.

The A56 is a major artery, and unfortunately, it can be used by criminals to scout villages like Foulridge for easy targets. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies cars on your driveway and checks them against the national database. The system also uses Activity Pattern Recognition to learn what is 'normal' for your home. If a vehicle or person exhibits unusual behaviour—such as scouting your property multiple times—scOS can alert you to the anomaly. This proactive intelligence helps you stay one step ahead of organised crime groups who use major roads for quick getaways.

Lancashire Constabulary does a great job, but in rural villages, response times can be longer than in town centres. scOS provides an immediate, automated response that acts as a force multiplier for local policing. By deterring the intruder at the boundary with voice and light, the system often prevents the crime from ever occurring. If an incident does happen, scOS provides high-quality, 24/7 recorded evidence and detailed AI-driven logs that make it much easier for the police to identify and prosecute offenders. You can even use scOS Director to quickly find and share specific footage with officers.
