Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, which rarely helps in recovering stolen goods or feeling safe. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. At its core is MotionX, a revolutionary detection engine that focuses on 'important activity' rather than just movement. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX works out of the box. It ignores environmental noise and focuses exclusively on human and vehicle behaviour. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes. It can trigger external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activate lighting to let the intruder know they have been spotted. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes between 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video feeds locally before escalating critical data to our UK-based cloud for further analysis. This approach allows you to upgrade your security to AI-driven standards without the cost of replacing every camera on your property, provided they meet the necessary technical requirements for a wired connection.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to stop crime before it happens. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you are away. If someone does approach, our MotionX technology identifies them as a person immediately, regardless of whether they are wearing a hood or mask. The system then initiates an Active Intervention. This starts with automatic light response to illuminate the intruder, followed by escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These aren't two-way audio 'doorbell' chats; they are authoritative, AI-driven warnings that let the intruder know they have been spotted. By combining the appearance of a busy home with immediate, escalating consequences for trespassing, scOS makes your property a much less attractive target.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many security companies that outsource data handling to international servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response, and only critical events are escalated to our secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your video footage and personal information remain your property. We never sell your data to third parties. You have complete control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our app. By keeping our operations, support, and data storage within the UK, we provide a level of security and legal protection that international brands simply cannot match.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses AI to detect threats the moment they step onto your land, not just when they reach the front door. Furthermore, doorbells rely on you being available to answer a notification to act as a deterrent. scOS is autonomous; it detects, identifies, and deters intruders using lights and voice warnings without you needing to lift a finger. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a professional security team, providing a proactive shield that stops crime before it reaches your entrance.

Kearsley's location near the M61 makes it a convenient spot for residents, but it also provides easy access and escape routes for organised vehicle thieves. scOS combats this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition. Our AI scans the registration plates of every vehicle that enters your property's vicinity and checks them against the DVLA database. If a vehicle is using cloned plates or has been flagged as suspicious, scOS can alert you instantly. This proactive monitoring of the 'commuter corridor' around your home provides a vital layer of protection for your cars and vans, ensuring that suspicious vehicles are identified long before a theft is attempted.

For Kearsley residents working in Manchester or Bolton, leaving the house empty for 8-10 hours a day is a common necessity. scOS features advanced Presence Simulation that makes your home look active throughout the day. Unlike simple timers, our AI learns your actual habits—like turning on the hallway light at dusk or the TV in the evening—and replicates them when you're away. This makes your home a 'hard target' for burglars who scout neighbourhoods during the day looking for empty properties. With scOS, your home always looks occupied, providing a powerful psychological deterrent to anyone watching the street.

Greater Manchester Police are increasingly dealing with sophisticated criminals who use masks or hoods to avoid identification. scOS is specifically designed to counter this. Our MotionX technology doesn't rely on facial recognition; instead, it uses behaviour-based person recognition. It can identify a human figure based on how they move, even if they are covered up or trying to hide their shape. If the system detects a 'covered face' or suspicious movement patterns near your boundaries, it immediately triggers an escalating response, including voice warnings and lights. This ensures that even the most prepared intruder is spotted and challenged the moment they step onto your property.
