Traditional CCTV is a passive witness that merely records crime as it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a person in a hoodie. scOS is a proactive digital guard that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person loitering—while ignoring wind, spiders, and animals. Unlike standard systems that rely on easily-triggered motion masks, scOS understands the context of your property, intervening with lights and voice warnings to stop an intruder before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, we will assess your current hardware to ensure it meets the requirements for our Intelligence Hub to process the high-quality data needed for our AI features.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside when you're away. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Finally, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they have been spotted.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. All data is processed through a combination of your local Intelligence Hub and our secure UK data centres, ensuring full GDPR compliance. Unlike many international brands, we never sell your data or allow third-party access; your footage and activity patterns remain entirely under your control and are accessible only by you through our encrypted app.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door once they've already arrived, which is often too late. scOS protects your entire property boundary, detecting a threat as soon as they step onto your driveway or garden in Shavington. While a doorbell is a reactive tool, scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses escalating deterrents to ensure a criminal never gets close enough to ring the bell in the first place.

Shavington's location near the M6 and Crewe makes it a target for 'drive-in' thieves. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition system identifies every car that enters your driveway, checking plates against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned or suspicious plates is detected, scOS can alert you immediately, providing Cheshire Constabulary with the precise data they need to track the suspects.

Many burglars now wear balaclavas or hoods to avoid traditional CCTV. scOS features Covered Face Detection, which specifically flags when a person's face is concealed. Because our MotionX AI focuses on movement patterns and human shapes rather than just faces, it can still identify and track an intruder even if they are fully covered, triggering voice warnings to let them know they've been spotted.

We use a 'Wired Over Wireless' approach for all Shavington installations. While DIY wireless cameras are easy to install, they are also easy for criminals to 'jam' using cheap electronic devices. By using professional wired connections, we ensure your security system remains unshakeable and always connected to your Intelligence Hub, regardless of external interference.
