Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage to show the Lancashire Constabulary after the damage is done. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands activity. It ignores the wind in the trees or a cat crossing your driveway, focusing only on 'important activity' like a person approaching your door. Because it understands your property boundaries automatically, it can trigger an immediate response—like turning on lights or issuing a voice warning—to stop a burglar before they even touch your door. There are no 'motion masks' to set up; it works intelligently out of the box to provide zero false alarms, ensuring that when you get an alert, it actually matters.

Absolutely. scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with almost any existing wired IP camera system, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. We install our Intelligence Hub, which acts as the 'brain' of your home, transforming your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, AI-powered network. This means you don't have to strip out your existing investment to benefit from world-class AI protection. We prefer wired connections over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed by sophisticated criminals using WiFi deauthers, ensuring your Ormskirk home remains protected 24/7 without interruption.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away, the system simulates human activity patterns inside your home, making it appear occupied to anyone watching. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour regardless of whether a person is wearing a hood or trying to hide their shape. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This starts with instant illumination and can escalate to clear voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. Unlike a simple alarm, this escalating response tells the intruder they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee before any entry is attempted.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All our data centres are located within the UK, and we are fully GDPR compliant. Your data stays yours. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub processes most information locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app, ensuring your family's private moments stay private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a delayed sensor. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front garden, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It detects a prowler the moment they step onto your land, not just when they reach the door. Furthermore, doorbells rarely offer active deterrence. scOS actually stops crime by intervening with lights and voice warnings. It’s the difference between having a digital peephole and having a professional security guard watching every corner of your Ormskirk property.

Ormskirk is a busy market town, and our MotionX technology is specifically designed for this environment. Traditional systems would be constantly triggered by shoppers on the pavement or cars passing on the way to the market. scOS automatically detects your specific property lines. It ignores all activity on the public footpath or road, only alerting you if someone actually crosses onto your land. This 'zero false alarm' promise means you won't be bothered by the hustle and bustle of town life, only by genuine threats to your home.

Yes. Our AI includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition. This is particularly useful for residents near Edge Hill University or the town centre who may see unfamiliar cars parked nearby. The system can check registration plates against the DVLA database to identify cloned plates or vehicles that have been flagged as suspicious. You can also 'whitelist' your own cars and those of regular visitors, so the system knows what's normal for your driveway and what constitutes an anomaly that requires an alert.

scOS is designed to be incredibly user-friendly. You don't need to be a tech expert to use it. Our 'scOS Director' feature allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can simply ask, 'Was there anyone at the back gate this morning?' or 'What time did the delivery arrive?' and the AI will give you a conversational answer. It’s like talking to a security guard who has watched your house all day, making it the most accessible high-tech security system on the market.
