Standard CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records your property being violated so you can show the footage to the police after the fact. scOS is a digital bodyguard. Our system uses MotionX technology, a revolutionary AI that focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. While traditional cameras are triggered by swaying trees, cobwebs, or passing foxes, scOS ignores the noise and only alerts you to genuine threats. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. By automatically detecting your property boundaries, it can trigger instant light and voice responses to deter an intruder before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a video of a crime and preventing the crime from happening in the first place.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence system. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes your video feeds locally using our proprietary AI before escalating to the cloud. By using your existing wired infrastructure, we provide a more secure and stable connection than wireless alternatives, which are often susceptible to signal jamming by modern criminals.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which is our primary passive deterrent. The system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them while you're away, making the house appear occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection. This AI is trained to recognise human behaviour regardless of whether a person is walking, crawling, or attempting to hide their figure with a mask or hoodie. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If the AI detects a persistent threat, it triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and activates automatic lighting. This proactive approach forces criminals to realise they have been spotted, usually causing them to flee before attempting a break-in.

We take data privacy incredibly seriously. Unlike many security companies that store data on international servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means our company, our support teams, and our data centres are all located right here in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours and is never sold or shared with third parties. Your Intelligence Hub processes most of the AI logic locally on your property for maximum speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for heavy lifting and remote access. You have 24/7 access to your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, giving you total peace of mind.

A video doorbell is a useful tool for seeing who is at the door, but it is fundamentally reactive. It usually only alerts you once someone is already on your doorstep, and it offers very little in the way of actual crime prevention. scOS is a comprehensive home intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While a doorbell might show you a parcel being stolen, scOS uses AI to identify suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your driveway or garden. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS is designed to stop a criminal in their tracks long before they get near your front door. It’s proactive security versus a simple digital peephole.

Staining’s proximity to Blackpool can lead to an increase in transient traffic and opportunistic crime. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which scans the plates of cars entering your driveway and checks them against the national database. If a vehicle is flagged as suspicious or is using cloned plates, scOS will notify you immediately. This is particularly useful for identifying 'casing' behaviour, where criminals scout a quiet village like Staining before committing a crime. By identifying these vehicles early, you can prevent a theft before it even begins.

The Fylde coast is known for its wind and rain, which can cause traditional 'motion-sensing' cameras to trigger hundreds of false alarms. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically trained to ignore environmental factors like swaying trees, rain, and wind-blown debris. It only alerts you when it detects 'important activity'—specifically human-centric behaviour within your property boundaries. This means you won't be bothered by your phone buzzing every time there's a gust of wind off the Irish Sea, but you will be notified the second someone steps onto your property.

Many Staining residents enjoy the village's quiet atmosphere but may be away for work or holidays. Our 'Presence Simulation' is designed to make your home look occupied even when it's not. Unlike simple timers, scOS learns your actual lighting and activity patterns and replicates them in a way that looks natural to an outside observer. This is a powerful passive deterrent, as most burglars will avoid a house that appears to have someone inside. You can monitor your home's status from anywhere via our app, giving you total peace of mind while you're away from the Fylde coast.
