Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records footage for you to watch after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime from happening in the first place. We use MotionX, our proprietary AI technology that focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means no more false alarms from wind, animals, or shadows. MotionX automatically understands your property boundaries and can recognise a human form even if the person is trying to hide their face or movement. When a threat is detected at your Shap home, scOS takes immediate action with lights and voice deterrents, providing an active defence that traditional systems simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most existing wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will integrate your current cameras into the scOS Intelligence Hub. This 'brain-lift' upgrades your existing hardware with our advanced AI, including MotionX detection and proactive deterrents. It's a great way to enhance your Shap property's security without the need for a completely new set of cameras. If you don't have a system yet, we can provide a full, high-specification wired setup tailored to your home's specific layout and needs.

scOS uses a three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: our AI learns your home's normal activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making your house appear occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies an intruder the moment they step onto your property, regardless of how they are moving or if they are wearing a mask. Third is Active Intervention: when a threat is detected, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and activates instant, bright lighting. This escalating response—from making the home look lived-in to direct, audible warnings—is designed to startle intruders and force them to leave your property immediately.

Privacy and data security are central to scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. Your Intelligence Hub processes data locally for the fastest response times and only uses the cloud for secure storage and remote access. We never sell your data to third parties, and you have total control over your footage. We also avoid invasive facial recognition, using behaviour-based person recognition instead. This ensures that your family's privacy is respected while still providing elite-level security for your Shap home, with all data remaining safe, secure, 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 home intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While a doorbell might alert you when someone is already at your entrance, scOS is designed to detect and deter that person long before they reach your door. By using proactive AI, lights, and voice deterrents, scOS provides a complete shield for your home, driveway, and gardens. For Shap residents, scOS offers a much higher level of security than a doorbell, stopping crime before it happens rather than just recording it after the fact.

Shap's location as a key stop on the A6 and its proximity to the M6 makes it accessible, but this also means it can be a route for cross-border criminals. scOS is specifically designed to combat this with our DVLA Vehicle Recognition technology. The system can monitor vehicles entering your driveway and check their registrations against the DVLA database, flagging any suspicious or unauthorised vehicles instantly. This, combined with our proactive voice deterrents, makes your home a 'hard target' for anyone scouting the area, providing an essential layer of protection for properties near major transport corridors.

We know that Cumbrian winters can be harsh, and scOS is built to handle it. Our system uses high-quality, weather-resistant wired cameras that are far more reliable than wireless alternatives in extreme conditions. Because scOS uses wired connections, it is immune to the signal interference that can be caused by heavy rain or snow. Furthermore, our MotionX AI is designed to ignore environmental factors like falling snow or wind-blown debris, ensuring that you only get alerted to genuine threats. This makes scOS the perfect year-round security solution for homes in Shap, providing reliable protection regardless of the weather.

While Shap is a peaceful village with a lower crime rate than the national average, its accessibility can make it a target for opportunistic thieves. Complacency is the biggest risk in safe areas. scOS provides 24/7, unwavering vigilance, ensuring that even if you aren't worried about crime, your home is still being actively protected. Our AI-driven system doesn't just record; it monitors for any unusual activity and intervenes automatically. By installing scOS, you are taking a proactive step to ensure that your Shap home remains a safe haven, preventing crime before it ever becomes an issue.
