Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, whereas scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. While standard systems rely on 'motion masks' that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only, such as a person approaching your home with intent. It requires no manual setup of zones and delivers zero false alarms, transitioning your security from a simple recording device to an active digital guard that intervenes the moment a threat is detected.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform most existing wired IP camera setups—including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink—into high-level AI systems. During our professional UK installation, we assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility with our Intelligence Hub. By layering our AI over your existing cameras, you gain all the benefits of proactive protection and MotionX detection without needing to replace your entire infrastructure, provided the cameras meet the necessary technical standards for high-quality video feed.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation learns your daily habits to mimic human activity inside the home while you're away, making the property appear occupied. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour or individuals attempting to conceal their identity, even in the dark. Finally, if a boundary is breached, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination from smart lighting and authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. This multi-stage approach ensures criminals are identified and deterred long before they reach your door.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. All data processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK-based cloud servers for advanced analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal data are never sold or shared with third parties. You retain total control over your data, with 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings, all stored within a secure, encrypted environment right here in Britain.

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 delayed alert. scOS provides whole-property intelligence that monitors your entire boundary, not just the front step. While a doorbell might capture a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. By using proactive voice deterrents and light responses, we stop the crime in progress, whereas a doorbell simply records the event for you to watch later.

Cumbria can experience extreme weather, but scOS is built for the British climate. We use high-quality, weather-rated wired cameras and IoT speakers that are far more durable than standard wireless consumer products. Furthermore, our MotionX AI is specifically trained to ignore heavy rain, snow, and wind-blown debris, ensuring that your system remains reliable and false-alarm-free even during a Cumbrian winter storm.

Stainburn is a quiet residential area where a loud, blaring siren might be unwelcome for neighbours. scOS uses an escalating response instead. It starts with smart lighting and then moves to authoritative voice warnings from external speakers. This is often enough to deter an intruder without causing a major disturbance to the whole street. It’s a smarter, more targeted way to protect your home while remaining a good neighbour in the Stainburn community.

Yes, scOS is 100% UK-based. From our data centres to our technical support teams, everything is operated within the UK. If you ever have an issue or need help with your system in Stainburn, you’ll be speaking to a UK-based expert who understands the local context and can provide rapid assistance, ensuring your home intelligence system is always performing at its best.
