Traditional CCTV is a passive recording tool; it only provides evidence after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Using our MotionX technology, scOS identifies 'important activity'—specifically human and vehicle movement—while ignoring false alarms like pets or wind. Because scOS automatically detects your property boundaries, it can take immediate action, such as turning on lights or issuing voice warnings, the moment someone steps onto your land. It’s about stopping the crime before it happens, not just watching it on playback.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation (which takes 4-6 hours), our engineers will connect your existing cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub 'upgrades' your current hardware with our advanced AI capabilities, providing you with proactive protection without the need for a complete system replacement.

scOS uses three layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation mimics your household's activity patterns while you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, MotionX AI detects intruders even if they are masked or trying to hide their shape. Third, the system uses active intervention: if someone crosses your boundary, scOS triggers external lights and delivers authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to deter intruders the moment they step onto your property, long before they reach your door.

Your data security is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Most processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub, and only critical events are sent to our secure cloud. We never sell your data, and you have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell is reactive and only monitors your front door. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary, including driveways and gardens. While a doorbell might alert you when someone is already at your door, scOS detects them the moment they enter your property and uses active deterrents like lights and voice warnings to stop them from ever reaching your house. It’s a complete security solution, not just a doorbell camera.

Hurst Green is a historic and affluent village, which can unfortunately attract unwanted attention. scOS is designed to be a visible and audible deterrent. By intervening the moment someone enters your property, scOS makes it clear that your home is actively protected, which is often enough to make opportunistic criminals move on to an easier target.

Yes. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the number plates of any car entering your driveway against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unrecognised car is detected, the system can alert you immediately. This is particularly useful for residents concerned about vehicle theft or 'scouting' in the Ribble Valley.

Hurst Green is home to many beautiful heritage properties. scOS is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible. Our professional UK installers will work with you to ensure that the cameras and IoT speakers are placed discreetly, providing world-class protection without compromising the aesthetic of your historic home.
