Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records what happens but doesn't intervene. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime before it reaches your door. The key is our MotionX technology, which is designed to detect 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means no more false alarms from the wind, animals, or shadows. Unlike standard systems that require complex 'motion masks,' MotionX works out of the box to recognise people and vehicles. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it acts. It uses automatic boundary detection to trigger lights and AI voice warnings, deterring intruders at the edge of your property. While CCTV gives you evidence for after the fact, scOS prevents the incident from ever occurring.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional, wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will integrate your existing cameras with the scOS Intelligence Hub. This transforms your current setup into a high-intelligence AI system, giving you access to MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents. We recommend wired systems over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed by criminals using Wi-Fi de-auth tools. This allows Rainford residents to upgrade their security without the need for a completely new set of cameras.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent system. First is Presence Simulation, our primary passive deterrent. It learns your home's normal activity and replicates it when you're away—turning lights on and off in a human-like pattern to make the house look occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies genuine threats the moment they enter your property, even if they are trying to hide their face. Third is Active Intervention. If an intruder is detected, scOS triggers an escalating response, starting with instant lighting and moving to authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By challenging an intruder at the property boundary, scOS removes their anonymity and makes your home a 'hard target' that criminals will want to avoid.

Your privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles most of the work locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure cloud for more complex AI tasks. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app. This ensures that while your Rainford home is protected by the latest AI, your personal data remains private and under your control.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only shows you who is at your front door. scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property. While a doorbell might alert you when someone is already at your entrance, scOS detects intruders the moment they step onto your driveway or into your garden. It uses AI to monitor your entire property boundary, providing 360-degree protection. Additionally, scOS doesn't require you to manually speak to someone; it uses automated, AI-driven voice deterrents to challenge intruders instantly. It’s the difference between a digital peephole and a professional security system that actively prevents crime.

Rainford is a quiet village, but its proximity to the A570 and M58 makes it accessible for criminals looking for easy getaway routes. A low crime rate of 12.05 can lead to complacency, making homes 'soft targets.' scOS provides a proactive layer of security that doesn't sleep. Our AI-driven system monitors your property 24/7, ensuring that even in a quiet area, your home is protected by the most advanced technology available. By making your property a 'hard target' with visible deterrents and intelligent monitoring, you significantly reduce the risk of being targeted by opportunistic thieves.

Many homes in Rainford have outbuildings, garages, or large gardens that are vulnerable to theft. scOS is perfect for these areas because our MotionX technology can distinguish between a person and a fox or a swaying branch. You can set the system to protect your entire property boundary, including detached garages and sheds. If someone enters these areas at night, scOS will trigger an immediate response, such as turning on lights and delivering a voice warning. This ensures that your entire property, not just the main house, is under constant, intelligent protection.

scOS features integrated DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is a powerful tool for Rainford residents. The system reads the number plates of vehicles entering your property and checks them against the national database. This allows it to identify suspicious vehicles or those with cloned plates. If an unknown or flagged vehicle lingers near your home, scOS can alert you immediately. This is an essential feature for preventing 'car-key' burglaries, as it allows you to identify potential threats before they even step out of their vehicle.
