Traditional CCTV is a passive observer, but scOS is an active protector. The core difference is our MotionX AI, which identifies 'important activity'—like a person moving towards your home—while ignoring 'noise' like animals or wind. It requires no motion masks and has zero false alarms. Unlike standard systems, scOS also features proactive intervention, using lights and voice warnings to stop intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, rather than just recording them.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. Our UK-based engineers can integrate your existing cameras into our Intelligence Hub during a single-day installation. This upgrades your current system with our advanced AI features, such as person recognition and proactive deterrents, without you needing to buy all new camera hardware for your Newton-le-Willows home.

scOS uses three layers of AI protection. First, Presence Simulation mimics your internal activity patterns to make your home look occupied when you're away. Second, MotionX detection identifies people even if they're wearing masks or hoods. Third, Active Intervention triggers external lights and voice warnings from IoT speakers when a threat is detected. This escalating response makes it clear to any criminal that they've been spotted, causing them to flee before they reach your home.

Your data is safe and stays in the UK. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and we use secure UK data centres for all our cloud processing. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data. Most of the intelligence is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub, ensuring your privacy. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell only watches your front door and is often reactive. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring all your boundaries and driveways. In an area like Newton-le-Willows, which is a key transport hub, a doorbell isn't enough. scOS is a professional, wired system that proactively stops crime before it happens, offering much more comprehensive protection than a simple doorbell camera.

Newton-le-Willows' location between Liverpool and Manchester, near the M6 and M62, makes it a target for vehicle-related crime. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition is a powerful tool here; it identifies every vehicle that enters your driveway and checks its registration. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a known suspicious history is detected, scOS can alert you immediately. This helps protect your cars and gives you an extra layer of intelligence against mobile criminal gangs.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that lets you talk to your home security system. You can ask it questions like, 'Has anyone been on the driveway today?' or 'What time did the kids get home?' It understands natural language and gives you an instant summary, so you don't have to scroll through hours of footage. It’s a convenient way for Newton-le-Willows residents to stay informed about their property's security with minimal effort.

scOS features Automatic Property Boundary Detection. Our AI automatically identifies your property lines, so you don't have to draw manual zones. This is particularly useful for Newton-le-Willows properties, whether they are older railway-era homes or modern developments. The system knows exactly where your land ends, ensuring it only triggers a response when someone actually steps onto your property, while ignoring activity on the public pavement or neighbouring land.
