Traditional CCTV is a passive witness; it records a crime for you to watch later. scOS is a proactive guardian. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider or gust of wind, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only. It recognises people and vehicles with near-zero false alarms, meaning you won't be pestered by notifications for the neighbour's cat. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. By detecting threats at your property boundary, it can trigger lights and voice warnings to deter an intruder before they even reach your door. It transforms your security from a recording device into an active, intelligent deterrent that works 24/7 without needing you to draw complex 'tripwire' zones.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can often breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have a wired IP camera system—such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti—our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with it. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We 'supercharge' your existing cameras by applying our MotionX AI and scOS Director intelligence to their feeds. This allows you to keep your initial investment in hardware while upgrading to a world-class AI security layer that provides proactive protection rather than just simple recording. If your cameras are outdated or wireless, we can also provide high-quality wired replacements that are immune to WiFi jamming.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals in their tracks. The first layer is Presence Simulation. This is a passive deterrent that learns your home's normal activity patterns—like when lights on or off—and replicates them when you're away, making your home look occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection. Unlike basic sensors, MotionX identifies 'important activity' instantly. It recognises people even if they are crawling, wearing masks, or trying to hide their figure. Finally, we have Active Intervention. If a threat is detected at your boundary, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI-generated voice warnings and illuminates the area with automatic light responses. This escalating response shows the intruder they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global brands that ship your footage to servers in the US or China, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your data is processed through our UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles much of the heavy lifting locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced AI analysis or remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell your information or footage to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is a great tool for seeing who is at the door, but it is fundamentally limited. It usually only covers a narrow field of vision and only alerts you once someone is already on your doorstep. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. Our AI auto-detects your entire property boundary, spotting a potential intruder the moment they step onto your driveway or garden, not just when they ring the bell. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the crime from happening in the first place through proactive voice deterrents and light responses. Furthermore, scOS is a professionally installed, wired system, making it far more reliable and harder to tamper with than battery-powered wireless doorbells.

With property crime rates in Swinton being a concern, scOS provides an essential layer of proactive protection. Our MotionX AI is specifically trained to detect suspicious behaviour, such as someone loitering near your property or trying to test your doors and windows. By identifying these threats early and using active voice deterrents, scOS can stop a crime before it even begins, providing you with a level of security that traditional alarms and CCTV simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is a powerful tool for identifying suspicious vehicles. It checks the registration of any car entering your driveway against the national database to ensure it's legitimate. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unknown car is detected, scOS can alert you immediately. This is particularly useful for identifying potential intruders who may be scouting the area in a vehicle, giving you an extra layer of protection for your home and family.
