Every time you leave home, there's that nagging worry. Did I lock up properly? Is someone watching the house? You shouldn't have to feel anxious about your own home.
Something happened in the garden last night. Now you're scrubbing through 8 hours of footage trying to find 30 seconds of activity. Life's too short for this.
Your phone buzzes constantly. A cat. Cobwebs. Headlights. After a while you stop checking, which defeats the entire point of having cameras.
Not motion. Not shadows. scOS detects the kind of activity a trained security guard would notice. When your phone buzzes, it matters.
Family, friends, the builder—scOS learns who belongs. No repetitive alerts for familiar faces. Only strangers trigger attention.
Message scOS for pre-edited clips across all cameras, or ask when the bin was last emptied. It's like having staff you can actually talk to.
No hidden fees. No premium tiers. All features included from day one.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Prestwich
Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records crime as it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a person in a hoodie after the damage is done. scOS transforms your security into a proactive 'digital guard' using our MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that require complex 'motion masks' to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX intelligently identifies 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour—out of the box. It doesn't just watch; it understands and intervenes, ensuring you aren't plagued by false alerts while guaranteeing that genuine threats are met with an immediate response.
Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing infrastructure. If you have professional-grade wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate them into the scOS ecosystem. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering our AI over your existing 'dumb' cameras, we transform them into an intelligent, proactive defence network without the need for a total hardware overhaul.
scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home (like lights and TV usage) to make it look occupied even when you're on holiday. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing masks or trying to hide. Finally, the system triggers an Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver authoritative AI voice warnings while smart lighting illuminates the area. This escalating response is designed to stop a criminal in their tracks before they ever touch a door or window.
Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based cloud servers for storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information stay yours and are never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your data, which is accessible only to you via our secure app, with up to two weeks of 24/7 recording stored at any time.
A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire boundary, detecting threats at the edge of your property. More importantly, scOS is designed to prevent the crime from happening in the first place through active intervention and presence simulation, rather than just providing a recording of the person who stole your parcel.
Prestwich is home to many high-value vehicles. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which monitors your driveway and logs every registration plate. If an unknown vehicle enters your property, or if the system detects a plate that doesn't match the vehicle's make and model (a common sign of cloning), you'll receive an instant alert. This proactive monitoring is essential for protecting your cars from theft or vandalism.
In urban areas like Prestwich, privacy is paramount. scOS is designed to respect your neighbours' privacy while securing your home. Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, so the system only 'cares' about activity on your land. Furthermore, all data is processed in the UK and is fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your security system doesn't infringe on the privacy of the local community.
Yes, scOS is designed to work with your existing smart home ecosystem. Whether you use smart lighting, automated gates, or other IoT devices, our Intelligence Hub can often integrate them to create a unified response. For example, if an intruder is detected, scOS can automatically lock your smart gates and turn on all external lights to maximise the deterrent effect.
