scOS is a major advancement over traditional CCTV. While standard systems just record video, scOS is an active AI security guard. It uses MotionX technology to detect 'important activity,' ignoring false alarms like pets or wind. It doesn't require you to draw complex zones; it automatically understands your property boundaries. Most importantly, scOS is proactive. It doesn't just record a crime; it uses automated voice warnings and lighting to stop an intruder before they can break in, providing a level of protection that passive recording simply can't match.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have a camera system at your Irlam property, our engineers can integrate it with the scOS Intelligence Hub during our professional installation. This transforms your existing cameras into an intelligent AI network, giving you advanced features like presence simulation and vehicle recognition without the need for a full hardware replacement. We'll assess your current setup during the 4-6 hour installation to ensure everything is optimised.

scOS uses three layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation mimics your daily activity—turning lights on and off—to make your home look occupied even when you're out. Second, our MotionX AI detects anyone entering your property, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver voice warnings and lights flash to let the intruder know they've been spotted. This immediate, automated response is designed to stop a crime before it happens by making the intruder flee immediately.

Your privacy is paramount. scOS is 100% UK-based, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike many other systems, we don't send your footage to overseas servers. The scOS Intelligence Hub processes your data locally first, only escalating to the cloud for secure storage and remote access. You have total control over your data, and we never sell it. You can access your 24/7 recordings from the last two weeks at any time through our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only sees what's directly in front of your door. scOS is a professional security system that monitors your entire property. While a doorbell might alert you when someone is already at the door, scOS uses AI to detect someone in your garden or driveway long before they reach the house. With active deterrents like voice warnings and 24/7 recording that isn't dependent on Wi-Fi, scOS provides a much higher level of protection for your home and family in Irlam.

Irlam's location along the A57 and near the M60 makes it accessible for transient criminals. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies every car that enters your driveway. It can check registrations against the DVLA database to spot cloned plates or vehicles that shouldn't be there. If a suspicious vehicle is detected, you get an instant alert. This proactive approach is essential for protecting your property from criminals who use the local road network to scout for targets.

Irlam has a very low crime rate, but this can sometimes lead to a false sense of security. Professional burglars often target areas where they believe residents have become complacent about their home security. scOS provides a robust, AI-driven defence that works in the background, ensuring your home is protected 24/7 without you having to worry about it. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive, ensuring that Irlam remains a safe place for you and your family.

Yes, scOS is designed to work perfectly in the varied housing of Irlam, from traditional homes to newer developments. Our AI automatically learns your property boundaries, so it knows exactly where your land ends and the public space begins. This means you won't get alerts every time a neighbour walks past, but you will be notified the second someone steps onto your property. It’s a 'set and forget' system that provides high-level security without the constant annoyance of false alarms.
