Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, but it does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that monitors your Wyre property in real-time. Our proprietary MotionX technology is the core differentiator—it doesn't just look for 'motion' (which leads to false alarms from wind or wildlife), but identifies 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of their movement or if they are trying to hide their figure. Because it understands the difference between a fox and a person at your back door, it can trigger automatic interventions like lighting and voice warnings before a break-in occurs. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS works out of the box, automatically detecting your property boundaries and ignoring everything else.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a state-of-the-art AI security network. We support most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video feed locally before escalating critical data to our secure UK cloud. This means you don't need to rip out your existing investment to benefit from proactive AI protection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and our escalating response protocols.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals before they reach your door. The first layer is Presence Simulation; the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away—turning lights on and off in a natural way to make the house look occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or people attempting to conceal their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This starts with instant illumination to strip away the cover of darkness, followed by escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These aren't just pre-recorded clips; they are AI-driven deterrents that let the intruder know they have been spotted and identified.

Privacy and data security are at the heart of scOS. Unlike many security companies that outsource data processing to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response, and only critical events are escalated to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data, and you maintain full control over who can access your feeds. Our system provides 24/7 recording with up to two weeks of footage stored securely, accessible only by you through our encrypted app. By keeping everything within the UK—from our support teams to our servers—we ensure that your home's intelligence remains private and protected under the strictest data laws in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door—often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, from side gates to rear gardens. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime, not just record it. While a doorbell might send a notification to your phone while you're busy, scOS takes independent action using light and voice deterrents to scare off intruders. It also features advanced AI like DVLA vehicle recognition to spot suspicious cars on your driveway, providing a level of security that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot match.

Living in rural Wyre often means larger perimeters and more wildlife. Traditional motion sensors are a nightmare in these settings, constantly triggering because of deer, owls, or swaying branches. scOS MotionX is specifically designed to ignore these distractions. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity'—human presence and vehicle movement. Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, so it won't alert you when a car passes on the road, but it will react the moment someone steps onto your land. This makes it the perfect solution for Wyre's more isolated homes where you need to know the difference between a stray animal and a genuine security threat without being plagued by false notifications.

We understand that in rural Lancashire, police response times can vary. This is why scOS is built to be self-sufficient. Instead of just alerting the police after a break-in has occurred, our system's primary goal is to prevent the break-in from ever happening. By using escalating voice deterrents and instant lighting, scOS usually forces an intruder to flee long before they can cause damage. However, if a serious incident is detected, you have all the evidence you need—including DVLA-verified number plates and high-definition footage—ready to be handed over to Lancashire Constabulary. Our scOS Director AI also allows you to ask natural questions like 'What time did that white van arrive?' to find evidence in seconds.

scOS is designed for maximum reliability. Our Intelligence Hub processes the core AI logic locally on your property. This means that even if your internet connection dips—a common issue in some parts of rural Wyre—the system will still detect intruders and trigger the local light and voice deterrents. The 'brain' of the system doesn't live in the cloud; it lives in your home. While an internet connection is required for you to receive remote alerts and for cloud backup, the proactive protection of your property remains active 24/7, regardless of your broadband's stability. We also use wired connections for our cameras to ensure they can't be jammed by the WiFi-disrupting tools often used by modern burglars.
