Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records footage, often leaving you to discover a crime after it has already happened. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' in real-time. While standard systems are often triggered by false alarms like wind or animals, scOS ignores these, focusing only on genuine threats like people or vehicles. It doesn't require complex manual setup; the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder before they can cause any harm.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most existing wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your existing 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI-driven security network. It’s a cost-effective way for Myerscough Smithy residents to upgrade to professional-grade AI security without needing to replace their entire existing camera setup.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're out. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour and can even spot people trying to hide their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, if an intruder crosses your boundary, the system triggers an escalating response, including automatic light illumination and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach ensures that potential criminals are deterred long before they attempt to enter your home.

We prioritise your privacy by processing data locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub. Only critical events are escalated to our secure, 100% UK-based cloud servers for further analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data is never sold or shared with third parties. You have full control over your footage, which is stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you via our secure app. By keeping our operations, support, and data centres within the UK, we ensure your home's intelligence is protected by the highest standards of British data security.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers your front door; it doesn't stop someone from entering through a side gate or a back window. scOS provides comprehensive, 360-degree protection for your entire property. Unlike doorbells, which can be prone to lag and WiFi jamming, scOS uses reliable wired connections. Most importantly, scOS is designed to prevent crime through proactive measures like presence simulation and voice deterrents. It stops intruders before they reach your door, providing a level of security and peace of mind that a simple doorbell simply cannot offer.

Myerscough Smithy’s proximity to the A59 and major employers like BAE Systems at Samlesbury means there is a high volume of professional commuters in the area. scOS is perfect for this lifestyle. Our Presence Simulation AI learns your normal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, controlling internal lights and devices to make the home look lived-in. Furthermore, you can use the scOS Director—our conversational AI—to check on your home from anywhere. Just ask, 'Has there been any unusual activity today?' and get a full report. It provides the reassurance that your home is being intelligently monitored, no matter where you are.

Lancashire Constabulary, like all forces, responds most effectively to verified incidents. scOS provides this verification through its MotionX technology, which eliminates false alarms. If you receive an alert, you know it's a genuine threat. You can use the scOS Director—our conversational AI—to ask, 'What is the person in my garden doing?' and get an instant, accurate description. This high-quality, real-time information is invaluable to the police, as it allows them to prioritise your call and respond with the necessary urgency.

Yes, scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is particularly useful for homes situated on main roads like the A59. The system automatically scans the registration plates of any vehicle that enters your property and checks them against the DVLA database. This allows it to identify suspicious or cloned plates. If an unrecognised vehicle lingers or enters at an unusual time, scOS can alert you immediately and even initiate a voice deterrent to let the driver know they are being recorded, effectively deterring potential thieves.
