Traditional CCTV is a passive recording tool that only helps after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses our MotionX technology to stop crime in its tracks. MotionX is designed to identify 'important activity'—specifically human movement—with incredible accuracy, ignoring false alarms like pets, birds, or the coastal winds in Hoylake. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it takes action. It uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates lights to deter intruders immediately, providing a level of active protection that standard cameras simply cannot offer.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and can work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have a wired system at your Hoylake home, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with it, upgrading your existing cameras with our advanced AI features. During our professional installation, which takes 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it's compatible. This allows you to benefit from the latest AI security technology while making the most of your existing investment in security hardware.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which mimics your typical activity and lighting patterns when you're away, making your home look occupied. The second layer is our MotionX AI, which accurately detects people even if they are trying to hide their identity with masks or hoods. The third layer is Active Intervention: if an intruder is detected, the system triggers external speakers to give voice warnings and turns on lights. This escalating response is designed to let any criminal know they've been spotted and that the property is actively defended, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your data privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many other companies, we never sell your data to third parties. We use a hybrid processing model where our Intelligence Hub handles most of the analysis locally on your property, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced AI features and remote access. You have 24/7 access to your recordings, which are typically stored for up to two weeks, ensuring your data remains private and under your control.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only shows you who is at your front door. scOS provides proactive, 360-degree intelligence for your entire property. It monitors your boundaries, driveways, and gardens, identifying threats long before they reach your door. While doorbells are often wireless and can be easily jammed, scOS uses reliable wired connections. Most importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens through AI-driven intervention, whereas a doorbell only records the event, often after the damage has already been done.

Hoylake's coastal location means security equipment is often exposed to salt air and harsh weather. While scOS is a software-driven intelligence system, we ensure that the hardware we use and recommend is of the highest professional grade, designed to withstand the elements. Our MotionX AI is also specifically tuned to ignore environmental factors like heavy rain or wind-blown sea spray, which often cause false alarms in lesser systems. This ensures that your security remains reliable and effective, no matter what the Irish Sea throws at it.

Hoylake is a prestigious area that attracts many visitors, especially during major events at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club. scOS is ideal for residents who want to maintain a high level of security during these busy periods. Our system includes features like DVLA Vehicle Recognition to track unrecognised cars and Person Recognition to distinguish between family members and the increased number of strangers in the area. This proactive, AI-driven approach provides peace of mind, ensuring your home remains a private sanctuary even when the village is at its busiest.

scOS is designed to be incredibly easy to use. Our 'scOS Director' feature allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can simply ask, 'Was there anyone near the back gate last night?' or 'Did the window cleaner come today?' and the AI will provide an immediate answer. This eliminates the need to spend hours searching through video footage. Whether you're at home or away, you can stay fully informed about your property's security through a simple, intuitive interface on your smartphone.
