Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime while it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a masked intruder after the damage is done. scOS transforms your security into a proactive intelligence system using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on 'motion masks' and frequently trigger false alarms from spiders or wind, MotionX identifies 'important activity' only. It recognises people regardless of their movement or if they are attempting to hide their figure, and it auto-detects your property boundaries without any manual setup. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with escalating light and voice responses to stop the intruder before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have a professional, wired IP camera system—such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti—our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with it. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS ecosystem, you upgrade them from 'dumb' recording devices into an intelligent, proactive network. This allows you to benefit from our advanced AI features like MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided your cameras meet the necessary technical standards.

scOS employs a sophisticated, multi-layered approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal approaches your home. The first line of defence is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them while you're away, making the property appear occupied. If a trespasser does enter your grounds, our MotionX technology instantly identifies them as a person, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. At this point, the system initiates an active intervention: external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings while smart lighting provides instant illumination. These responses are escalating; the longer a threat persists, the more assertive the system becomes, effectively convincing the intruder that they have been spotted by a live guard.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy by design' approach to your security. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is processed and stored right here in the UK in GDPR-compliant data centres. Unlike many competitors who rely solely on the cloud, scOS uses a hybrid model: our Intelligence Hub processes data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for advanced AI analysis and remote access. Your data remains entirely yours; we never sell your information or footage to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to 14 days, ensuring you have the evidence you need while maintaining the highest standards of digital privacy.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived, which is often too late to prevent a crime. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that understands the difference between a delivery driver and a suspicious loiterer. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and susceptible to signal jamming; scOS uses professional wired connections for 'un-jammable' reliability. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS provides a ring of protection around your whole home, rather than just a single entry point.

Properties along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in Parbold can be vulnerable to intruders approaching from the towpath. scOS is perfect for this because our AI automatically detects your property boundary, even if it's right against the canal. It will ignore the regular walkers and cyclists on the public path but will instantly trigger deterrent protocols if someone steps onto your land, providing a robust shield for your canal-side home.

Lancashire Constabulary are increasingly dealing with sophisticated vehicle thefts. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs every registration plate that enters your driveway and checks it against the national database. It can even identify 'cloned' plates. If an unauthorised or suspicious vehicle is detected, scOS can alert you immediately and initiate deterrent measures, ensuring your cars are protected by the latest AI technology.

Yes. Our MotionX technology is designed to be hyper-accurate, focusing only on 'important activity' like human or vehicle movement. In a village like Parbold, you likely have plenty of local wildlife and swaying trees. MotionX ignores these entirely, meaning you won't be woken up by false alarms in the middle of the night. You only get alerted when there is a genuine reason for concern.
