scOS is a proactive AI security system, whereas traditional CCTV is a passive recording tool. Most CCTV systems require you to manually set up motion masks to avoid false alarms, but scOS uses MotionX technology which works out of the box. MotionX focuses on 'important activity,' ignoring things like wind-blown trees or animals, which are common in rural areas like the Fylde. When scOS detects a genuine human threat, it doesn't just record; it actively intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder before they can cause any harm.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and can be integrated with most existing professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. Our professional UK-based installation team will assess your current cameras during their visit to ensure they are compatible with our Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade your rural property to a full AI-powered security system without having to replace your existing camera hardware, providing a sophisticated and cost-effective security solution.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to protect your home. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your normal activity patterns to make your home look occupied when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people even if they are trying to hide their identity. Third is Active Intervention, where the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers automatic lighting if someone enters your property boundary. This escalating response is designed to deter criminals by making it clear that the property is actively monitored and protected.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located in the UK. Your video is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy, with only necessary data being sent to our secure UK cloud for advanced processing. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data. 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 at any time.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers a small area around your front door. scOS is a proactive, whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell might show you someone at the door, scOS monitors your entire property boundary and uses AI to detect and deter threats before they even reach your house. Additionally, scOS uses professional wired connections, which are much more reliable than the Wi-Fi used by doorbells, which can be easily disrupted by signal jammers, especially in rural areas where Wi-Fi signals can already be weak.

Rural properties in the Fylde often have large boundaries and multiple outbuildings, which can be difficult to secure. scOS's AI is designed to handle this. Our system automatically detects your property boundaries, no matter how large or complex. You can also extend scOS protection to outbuildings, stables, or garages. Because scOS uses professional wired connections, it provides a stable and reliable security network across your entire property, ensuring that every corner is protected by our proactive AI.

In rural areas, vehicle-related crime, such as the theft of farm machinery or high-value cars, can be a concern. scOS features advanced DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which reads registration plates and checks them against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a vehicle that doesn't match its registered description enters your property, scOS can alert you immediately. This provides an extra layer of security, helping you to identify and deter suspicious vehicles before they can cause any trouble.

Rural Fylde's property crime rate is 17.53, which is below the national average, but rural properties are often targeted because they are perceived as being more isolated and easier to burgle. scOS changes that by making your home a 'hard target.' Our proactive AI-driven deterrents, like voice warnings and automatic lighting, stop crime before it happens. By installing scOS, you are taking a proactive step to ensure that your home remains safe and that you don't become a victim of rural crime.
