Most CCTV systems in Newton-with-Scales are passive, meaning they only record footage for you to look at after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime in its tracks. Using our MotionX technology, the system identifies human activity with 100% accuracy, ignoring false triggers like wind or animals. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action—triggering lights and voice warnings from external IoT speakers to deter the intruder before they can break in. It doesn't just record the crime; it prevents it from happening in the first place.

Absolutely. scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. Our professional UK installation team can usually integrate your existing cameras into the scOS Intelligence Hub in just 4-6 hours. This allows you to upgrade your current 'dumb' cameras with our advanced AI features, including person recognition, DVLA vehicle tracking, and proactive voice deterrents, without the expense of replacing all your hardware.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to deter criminals. First, Presence Simulation uses AI to mimic your typical home activity, making your house look occupied even when you're away. Second, our MotionX AI detects suspicious behaviour the moment someone crosses your property boundary, even if they are trying to hide their face. Finally, the system uses escalating responses, such as instant lighting and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This combination of looking occupied and providing an immediate, intelligent response is highly effective at making criminals choose an easier target.

We are a 100% UK-based company, and your data security is our top priority. All data is handled in full compliance with GDPR. scOS uses a hybrid processing model: our local Intelligence Hub handles the immediate AI analysis on your property, while our secure UK-based cloud servers manage remote access and more intensive processing. We never sell your data to third parties, and you have complete control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

Video doorbells are often more of a nuisance than a security feature, frequently triggering false alarms from the street and offering no protection for the rest of your property. scOS provides comprehensive, 360-degree intelligence for your entire home. It uses AI to automatically detect your property boundaries, so it only alerts you to activity that matters. Furthermore, scOS is a wired system, making it immune to the WiFi jammers that are increasingly used by burglars to disable wireless doorbells and cameras. It’s a professional-grade solution that stops crime before it reaches your door.

Newton-with-Scales sits right on the A583, a major commuter route between Preston and Blackpool. This high volume of passing traffic can unfortunately include individuals scouting for opportunities. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which can identify unrecognised or suspicious vehicles on your driveway and check them against the DVLA database. This is a vital tool for residents in busy commuter areas, providing an extra layer of intelligence that standard security systems simply cannot offer.

Yes, scOS is specifically designed to detect suspicious concealment. Our AI can recognise the human form even if someone is wearing a hoodie, a balaclava, or a mask. Unlike traditional systems that might lose track of a person if their face isn't visible, scOS focuses on behaviour and movement patterns. If someone is loitering on your property with their face covered, the system will immediately flag this as a high-priority threat and initiate the escalating deterrent response.

Our professional UK installation is a 'white-glove' service that typically takes between 4 and 6 hours. We handle everything from mounting the Intelligence Hub to configuring the AI for your specific property boundaries. Because we use wired connections for maximum reliability and security, our engineers are experts at discreetly running cables to ensure your system is both effective and aesthetically pleasing. We'll also walk you through how to use the scOS Director AI so you're fully confident in your new system before we leave.
