Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device that only helps after a crime has occurred. scOS is proactive home intelligence. It uses MotionX, an AI engine that focuses on 'important activity,' ignoring false alarms like wind, rain, or animals. Unlike other systems, scOS doesn't require you to set up 'zones'; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with automatic light responses and AI voice warnings from external IoT speakers. It stops the intruder before they reach your door, transforming your security from a witness into a deterrent.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic. We can integrate most professional wired IP cameras—such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink—into the scOS Intelligence Hub. This upgrades your existing 'dumb' cameras with our full suite of AI features, including MotionX detection and DVLA vehicle recognition. Our professional UK installation team can usually complete the setup in 4-6 hours, ensuring your current hardware is working harder than ever to protect your Lostock Gralam home.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics human activity patterns inside your home to make it look occupied when you're out. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies human threats the moment they cross your boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing masks or hoods. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, the system triggers external lights and escalating voice warnings. This combination ensures that any intruder knows they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to leave immediately.

Your data security is our top priority. scOS is 100% UK-based, and all data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We use a hybrid processing model: the Intelligence Hub in your home handles immediate AI analysis locally, while our UK cloud handles storage and remote access. We never sell your data, and you have total control over your footage. With 24/7 recording and up to two weeks of storage, you can access your home's intelligence from anywhere, knowing it's protected by British privacy standards.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only sees what's directly in front of it. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary and detecting threats before they reach the house. Doorbells are often wireless and can be jammed; scOS uses professional wired connections for 100% reliability. For Lostock Gralam residents, scOS offers a proactive shield for the entire property, not just a notification that someone is at the front door.

Lostock Gralam’s proximity to the A556 and M6 makes it a target for 'travelling' criminals who look for easy-access targets near major roads. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs every vehicle that enters your property's vicinity. It can identify suspicious vehicles with cloned plates or those that have been 'casing' the area and alert you immediately. This early warning is crucial for homes near major transport links, ensuring you're protected from transient crime.

Cheshire Constabulary, like many forces, values high-quality, verified evidence. scOS MotionX ensures that every alert you receive is a genuine threat, not a false alarm. This means if you need to call the police, you can provide them with verified descriptions and even registration numbers from our DVLA recognition. By stopping the crime before entry is made, scOS often removes the need for a police call-out, but if one is needed, you'll have the best evidence possible.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that lets you talk to your home security. Instead of searching through hours of footage, you can ask, 'Was there anyone on the driveway last night?' or 'Did the courier arrive?' It understands natural language and provides instant answers. For busy Lostock Gralam residents, this saves time and provides immediate clarity on what's happening at home, whether you're at work or away.
