scOS is a significant advancement over traditional CCTV. Most systems in Milnrow are passive, simply recording video that you might look at after a crime has occurred. scOS is proactive; it uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' in real-time. This means it ignores non-threats like wind, rain, or animals, focusing only on people and vehicles. Unlike traditional systems that require manual 'zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic lights and voice warnings to stop intruders before they can act. It’s the difference between having a recording of a crime and preventing the crime from happening at all.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. This allows us to upgrade your existing Milnrow home security system without the need for entirely new hardware. During our professional UK installation, which takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will integrate your current cameras with our Intelligence Hub. This instantly adds MotionX AI, presence simulation, and proactive deterrents to your setup. It’s a cost-effective way to bring state-of-the-art AI protection to your home using the cameras you already have.

scOS uses a three-layered deterrent strategy to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which learns your internal activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making your home look occupied—the best way to deter burglars. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious individuals regardless of whether they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, if someone enters your property, scOS triggers an escalating response, including automatic light illumination and clear voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By removing the element of surprise and showing that the property is under active AI surveillance, scOS forces criminals to move on before they even reach your door.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the primary AI analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for remote access or advanced tasks. You have total control over your data, and we never sell your footage or information. Your recordings are stored 24/7 for up to two weeks, providing a secure, private record of activity that only you can access.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door, often missing activity elsewhere. scOS provides comprehensive, whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, detecting threats at the edge of your property long before they reach your door. While a doorbell might show you a crime in progress, scOS is designed to prevent it. Additionally, doorbells are often wireless and can be easily jammed; scOS uses professional wired connections for maximum reliability. It’s the difference between a simple doorbell and a complete AI-driven security shield for your entire Milnrow home.

Milnrow's position near the Pennines means it often faces challenging weather, from heavy rain to snow and fog. Traditional motion detection often fails in these conditions, leading to constant false alarms. scOS's MotionX AI is specifically designed to handle this. It ignores environmental factors like wind-blown debris or heavy rain, focusing only on 'important activity' like human movement. This ensures that even in the worst Pennine weather, your security system remains accurate and reliable, only alerting you when there is a genuine threat to your property.

While Milnrow has an exceptionally low crime rate, it's important not to become complacent. Opportunistic criminals often target areas perceived as 'safe' because they expect lower levels of security. scOS provides a proactive layer of protection that ensures your home doesn't become the one exception in a safe neighbourhood. Our Presence Simulation and proactive deterrents are designed to stop a crime before it even starts, maintaining the peace and security you enjoy in Milnrow. It’s about peace of mind, knowing that your home is being watched by the most advanced AI security available.

For larger properties on the outskirts of Milnrow, traditional security can be difficult to manage. scOS's Automatic Property Boundary Detection is ideal for these homes, as it automatically identifies the edges of your property without the need for manual 'zones.' Our system can monitor large areas effectively, detecting threats the moment they step onto your land. The escalating response, including lights and voice warnings, is particularly effective for larger plots where an intruder might otherwise feel they can operate unobserved. scOS provides comprehensive coverage, ensuring every corner of your property is protected.
