Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records footage, which is often only useful after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to detect 'important activity' in real-time. Unlike standard systems that rely on motion masks and are prone to false alarms from animals or weather, MotionX is trained to recognise human figures and behaviour. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it takes action with automatic lights and voice deterrents to stop intruders before they can enter your home. It’s like having a digital security guard for your Keswick property that never sleeps.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and can integrate with most existing wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink. During our professional installation, our UK-based engineers will check your current setup to ensure it's compatible with our AI Intelligence Hub. By connecting your existing cameras to scOS, you can upgrade your home with MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents without needing to replace all your hardware. This is a cost-effective way to bring the latest AI security technology to your home in Cumbria.

scOS uses a three-tier deterrent strategy to protect your home. First, Presence Simulation mimics your normal activity patterns to make your home look occupied when you're away. Second, our MotionX technology identifies suspicious activity and 'covered faces' (like hoods or masks) with zero false alarms. Finally, if an intruder enters your property, the system triggers Active Intervention, which includes automatic lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. These warnings become more urgent if the intruder doesn't leave, effectively deterring them before they can cause any harm. This combination of appearing occupied and responding instantly to threats makes your property a very difficult target for criminals.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is 100% UK-based, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles initial detection locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure cloud for more complex analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. This ensures your data stays in the UK and is protected by the highest privacy standards.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive protection for your entire property boundary, detecting threats before they even reach your house. Unlike wireless doorbells, which can be easily jammed, scOS uses reliable wired connections. With advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and proactive voice deterrents, scOS is designed to prevent crime from happening, whereas a doorbell is primarily for seeing who is at the door. For homes in Keswick, which may have larger gardens or multiple entry points, scOS offers much more robust security.

Keswick is a major tourist hub, and it can be difficult to distinguish between a lost hiker and a genuine threat. Our MotionX technology and Person Recognition are designed to do just that, identifying people based on their behaviour and movement patterns. This means you won't be bothered by alerts for every tourist walking past your gate, but you will be instantly notified if someone is scouting your property or attempting to hide their face. It’s the perfect way to maintain your privacy and security in a busy tourist area.

Cumbrian weather can be extreme, with heavy rain and high winds being common. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore these environmental factors, focusing only on 'important activity' like human movement. This means you won't be plagued by false alarms during a storm. Our professional installation also ensures that all hardware is properly fitted to withstand the local weather, providing you with reliable, year-round security no matter what the Lake District throws at it.

Our professional UK installation team can typically have your scOS system fully installed and calibrated in 4 to 6 hours. We handle everything, from setting up the Intelligence Hub to installing the external IoT speakers and integrating your cameras. We'll also show you how to use the scOS Director to manage your security with simple, natural language. By the time we leave, your Keswick home will be protected by the most advanced AI security system available, and you'll have the peace of mind that comes with it.
