Most CCTV systems are passive; they record crime but do nothing to stop it. They also suffer from frequent false alarms caused by wind, rain, or animals. scOS is different because it uses MotionX technology, which focuses only on 'important activity'—specifically people and vehicles. It doesn't require you to set up complex motion masks; it works out of the box to understand your property. Most importantly, scOS is proactive. When it detects a threat, it uses automated lighting and voice deterrents to intervene, stopping a burglar in Halton before they ever break into your home.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. If you already have a system installed at your Halton home, our Intelligence Hub can likely take over the feed and add our advanced AI capabilities to it. During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your existing cameras and ensure they are fully integrated into the scOS ecosystem, giving your 'dumb' cameras a massive intelligence upgrade.

scOS deters criminals through three powerful layers of protection. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside while you're away. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders the moment they step onto your property, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. Third, the system initiates an active response: instant smart lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive intervention makes it clear to any intruder that they are being watched by an intelligent system, which is usually enough to make them flee immediately.

Your data security is paramount. 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. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI work locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure cloud for advanced features and remote access. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive, property-wide intelligence. It uses professional wired cameras that can't be jammed like Wi-Fi doorbells and monitors your entire boundary, including side gates and gardens. While a doorbell is a witness, scOS is a deterrent; it uses AI to spot threats early and active intervention to stop them. It’s the difference between seeing a package get stolen and preventing the thief from ever stepping onto your driveway.

Halton’s proximity to the M6 makes it an easy target for transient criminals who can quickly enter and exit the area. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically logs the registration plates of every vehicle that enters your property. It can check these against the DVLA database to identify cloned plates or suspicious vehicles. If an unrecognised car pulls onto your drive, scOS can alert you instantly and begin proactive deterrent measures, ensuring that your home isn't an easy 'stop-off' for criminals using the motorway network.

Lancashire winters can be harsh, but scOS is built to handle them. Our MotionX technology is revolutionary because it ignores environmental factors like heavy rain, snow, or wind-blown debris that trigger false alarms in other systems. It is specifically trained to recognise the human form and behaviour, even in low visibility or when someone is bundled up in winter clothing. This ensures that your Halton home remains protected 24/7, 365 days a year, without you being bothered by constant false alerts during a storm.

Halton is a beautiful village, and we know residents take pride in their homes. Our professional UK installation team is trained to perform clean, discreet installs. We use high-quality wired connections for reliability, but we ensure that cabling is hidden or neatly run to maintain your home's kerb appeal. The Intelligence Hub itself is a small, silent device that sits near your router. We aim to provide the most advanced AI security in Lancashire without making your home look like a fortress.
