Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that only provides evidence after a crime has been committed. scOS transforms your security into a proactive guardian using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on 'motion masks' and often trigger false alarms for spiders, wind, or shadows, MotionX focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It recognises human behaviour and forms, even if an intruder is crawling or attempting to hide their silhouette. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes automatically with lights and voice deterrents to stop the intruder in their tracks. This means you aren't just watching a burglary happen on your phone; you are preventing it from occurring in the first place.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works seamlessly with most existing wired IP camera systems, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. We transform your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network by connecting them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes data locally for speed and privacy before escalating critical events to our UK-based cloud. This means you can upgrade to world-class AI protection without the need to replace your entire existing infrastructure, making it a cost-effective way to secure your Higher Poynton home.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, our primary passive deterrent that learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone crosses your property boundary—no manual tripwires required. Finally, if a threat persists, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This involves instant illumination of external lights and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These aren't pre-recorded loops but AI-driven responses that let the intruder know they have been spotted and identified, usually causing them to flee before they reach your front door.

At scOS, we take your privacy as seriously as your security. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. All your video data and personal information are stored in secure UK data centres and are fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub at your property handles the initial AI analysis locally, ensuring lightning-fast response times. Only when a significant event is detected is the data escalated to our secure cloud for your remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell your information to third parties, and you have total control over who can view your footage.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. scOS provides total property intelligence. While a doorbell might capture a package thief, scOS monitors your entire boundary, detecting a scout or intruder before they even reach the house. Because we use wired connections rather than Wi-Fi, our system cannot be jammed by sophisticated criminals using 'de-auth' tools that render wireless doorbells useless. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just alert you to a problem; it actively intervenes to stop the crime. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a digital security guard watching every corner of your property 24/7.

Properties in Higher Poynton, especially those backing onto the canal or the Middlewood Way, often have vulnerable rear boundaries. scOS features Automatic Property Boundary Detection, which uses AI to understand exactly where your land ends and public space begins. It monitors these quiet access points 24/7, detecting anyone attempting to enter your garden from the canal path. Unlike traditional sensors that might be triggered by a passing walker, scOS only alerts you if someone shows suspicious intent or crosses onto your private property, providing a invisible but impenetrable wall of protection.

Many Higher Poynton residents have detached garages or outbuildings that house valuable equipment or vehicles. scOS is designed to cover your entire property, not just the main house. Our MotionX technology can be extended to monitor these structures, detecting 'covered face' attempts or unusual activity around garage doors at night. Because the system uses wired connections, it remains stable and unjammable, ensuring that your most valuable assets are protected by the same high-level AI that guards your front door.

Cheshire Constabulary values high-quality, actionable intelligence. scOS provides exactly that. Our system doesn't just give them a video of a 'person in a hoodie'; it provides a detailed log of the event, including vehicle registrations (via our DVLA check) and a clear timeline of the intruder's behaviour. Because our AI filters out false alarms, the evidence we provide is taken seriously. You can use the scOS Director to quickly export specific incidents, ensuring that if an event does occur in Higher Poynton, the police have the best possible chance of identifying and apprehending the suspects.
