Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records footage for you to look at after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive AI system that intervenes in real-time. It uses our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—specifically human threats—while ignoring false alarms like animals or swaying trees. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't require you to set up complex motion masks; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS takes immediate action with automatic light responses and voice warnings, deterring the intruder before they can cause any harm. It’s like having a digital security guard for your home.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and compatible with most professional wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If your home in Milnthorpe already has a wired system, our Intelligence Hub can likely be integrated to provide the AI 'brain' that transforms your cameras into a proactive security network. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your existing hardware to ensure compatibility. This allows you to upgrade to advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents without the need for a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First, Presence Simulation mimics your household's typical lighting and activity patterns while you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, MotionX technology accurately identifies human intruders, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third, the system initiates an escalating response: instant illumination via automatic light response, followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This active intervention lets the intruder know they have been spotted and their actions are being logged, which is a powerful deterrent that usually causes them to leave the property immediately.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We never sell or share your data with third parties. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and then backed up to our secure cloud. You have 24/7 access to your footage via our app, with up to two weeks of recording history. By keeping our operations, support, and servers within the UK, we ensure your data is protected by the highest British privacy standards.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary. It uses AI to detect and deter threats before they even reach your house. While doorbells are often wireless and can be easily jammed or stolen, scOS is a professionally installed, wired system that is much more resilient. For a home in Milnthorpe, where you may have side access or a large garden, a doorbell simply doesn't provide the level of proactive, all-around protection that scOS offers.

Milnthorpe's position as a gateway to the Lake District means there is a high volume of tourist traffic, which can increase the risk of opportunistic crime. scOS's DVLA vehicle recognition is a powerful tool here; it can identify and log the registration numbers of any vehicle that enters your property boundary. It can even check these against databases to flag suspicious or cloned plates. This gives you an extra layer of security, knowing that any vehicle approaching your home is being intelligently monitored and recorded.

Cumbria Constabulary benefit from the clear, actionable intelligence that scOS provides. Our AI-verified alerts mean that when you report an incident, you can be certain it's a genuine human threat. Our DVLA vehicle recognition can also provide the registration numbers of suspicious vehicles, which is crucial for police investigations. By providing high-definition, 24/7 recording and intelligent analysis, scOS makes it much easier for local officers to identify and apprehend individuals who may be targeting properties in the area.

scOS's MotionX technology is revolutionary because it focuses on 'important activity.' In a village like Milnthorpe, where you might have pets, local wildlife, or trees moving in the wind, traditional motion sensors would be constantly triggered. MotionX ignores these false alarms and only alerts you when it recognises a human form. It's even smart enough to recognise people if they are crawling or trying to hide their shape. This means you won't be bothered by constant false notifications on your phone, only genuine security concerns.
