Traditional CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS transforms your security from passive to proactive. While standard systems rely on motion masks that are often triggered by wind or spiders, our MotionX technology focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their figure, resulting in zero false alarms. Instead of just filming an intruder, scOS identifies them at your property boundary and initiates an immediate response, such as activating lights or voice deterrents, to prevent the incident from escalating.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from manufacturers like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can typically integrate with them to provide an AI upgrade. During our professional UK installation, which usually takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By layering our AI intelligence over your existing cameras, we transform 'dumb' recording devices into a sophisticated, proactive security shield without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making the property appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the property boundary, even if the person is wearing a mask or hood. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This includes instant illumination through automatic light responses and escalating warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. This multi-stage approach is designed to discourage criminals long before they reach your front door.

Your privacy and data security are our highest priorities. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data is processed through our Intelligence Hub locally before being escalated to our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data remains yours and is never sold to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted cloud platform.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door, often after they have already arrived. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell 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, triggering deterrents like voice warnings and lights. It’s the difference between seeing a package being stolen and preventing the thief from ever stepping onto your driveway.

Cumbrian weather can be a nightmare for standard security systems. However, scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically engineered to filter out environmental noise. Whether it's heavy rain, thick fog, or gale-force winds off the Duddon Estuary, our AI ignores the movement of trees and precipitation. It focuses solely on 'important activity'—human and vehicle movement—ensuring that your security remains reliable and your alerts are always meaningful, regardless of the weather in Kirkby-in-Furness.

In more remote areas like Kirkby-in-Furness, knowing that your home is actively defending itself is vital. scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes. If an intruder is detected, the system can play escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This tells the intruder they are being monitored by an AI system, which is a far more effective deterrent than a simple alarm bell. It provides a proactive layer of security that works even when you're out of the village.

Yes, scOS is an excellent choice for second homes or holiday lets in Cumbria. Our Presence Simulation feature is particularly valuable here, as it makes the property look occupied by mimicking realistic internal activity patterns. You can also use scOS Director to check in on the property from anywhere, asking questions like 'Has the gardener been?' or 'Is everything secure?' to get instant peace of mind without needing to travel.
