Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime for you to watch later. scOS is proactive, designed to stop the crime before it happens. Our MotionX technology is a revolutionary leap forward, focusing on 'important activity' rather than just pixels moving. Unlike standard systems that require complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from the wind or spiders, MotionX works out of the box. It ignores cobwebs, animals, and environmental noise, but instantly recognises a person whether they are walking, crawling, or attempting to hide their figure. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automated light and voice responses to drive intruders away.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them into an intelligent AI system. During our professional installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Hub, we can apply our MotionX detection and proactive deterrent layers to your current setup, saving you the cost of full hardware replacement while vastly upgrading your home's intelligence.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, our primary passive deterrent. It learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them while you're away—turning internal lights and devices on and off to make the property appear occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the boundary without false alarms. Finally, if a threat persists, scOS initiates an active intervention. This includes instant illumination of external lights and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These warnings are delivered by AI to inform the intruder they have been detected and the police are being notified.

Your privacy 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. Unlike many competitors, we never sell your data. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes video locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud when AI analysis or remote access is required. You have full control over your recordings, with up to two weeks of 24/7 footage accessible only to you through our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that shows you who is at your front door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While a doorbell might catch a parcel thief after the fact, scOS is designed to stop a break-in before it starts. We use professional-grade wired cameras that cannot be jammed like wireless doorbells, and our AI monitors every angle of your property, not just the entrance. With scOS, you aren't just watching your porch; you are securing your entire perimeter with proactive AI intervention.

Longridge is known for its beautiful stone-built properties, which can sometimes present challenges for wireless security systems due to thick walls. scOS uses a professional-grade wired approach, ensuring a rock-solid connection that isn't affected by the architecture of your home. Our UK-based installation team are experts at discreetly wiring stone properties, providing a high-end security solution that respects the aesthetic of your Ribble Valley home while providing modern AI protection.

While Longridge has a lower crime rate than the national average, its status as a gateway to the affluent Ribble Valley can make it a target for high-value property crime. scOS ensures you don't become a target. Our Presence Simulation is particularly effective for residents who may be out enjoying the local countryside or commuting to Preston, as it makes your home appear occupied at all times, acting as a powerful deterrent to anyone scouting the area.

Yes. For many Longridge residents, protecting their vehicles is a top priority. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the registration of any car entering your driveway against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is detected, scOS can alert you immediately and initiate deterrent protocols, ensuring your cars are protected by proactive AI before an intruder even steps out of their vehicle.
