Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime as it happens, often leaving you with nothing but footage of a masked intruder. scOS is a proactive guardian. Our system uses MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means it ignores swaying trees, spiders, or wind, focusing entirely on genuine threats. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS works out of the box, automatically detecting your property boundaries. It doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light and voice responses to stop an incident before your home is even touched.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your 'dumb' cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we transform them into a proactive AI security system. This allows you to upgrade your home's intelligence without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided your existing cameras are wired, as we prefer wired connections over jam-prone wireless setups.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it appear occupied even when you're away in Chester or enjoying the Sandstone Trail. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they are moving or if they are attempting to conceal their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries, scOS triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to AI-generated voice warnings from external IoT speakers, designed to convince any intruder that they have been spotted by a live guard.

Your privacy is a cornerstone of our service. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Most of the intelligence is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub, only escalating to our secure cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell it to third parties. You have 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings from anywhere in the world, ensuring you are always in control of your Tattenhall property's security.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door—often when it's too late. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS uses proactive deterrents like presence simulation and voice warnings to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. It provides whole-property protection rather than just a narrow view of your front step, stopping crime before it happens rather than just recording it.

Tattenhall's proximity to Chester makes it attractive for vehicle thieves. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the registration plates of any vehicle entering your property against the national database. It can identify cloned plates or suspicious vehicles that don't belong. If an unknown vehicle lingers or enters your boundary, the system can trigger an escalating response, alerting you and deterring the driver before they even step out of the car.

Cheshire Constabulary does an excellent job, but they cannot be everywhere at once. scOS acts as your first line of defence by providing immediate, autonomous intervention. By using voice deterrents and light responses the moment a threat is detected, scOS often stops a crime in progress before a police call is even necessary. It provides the 'eyes and ears' on the ground that can provide detailed, AI-analysed evidence if an incident does occur, making it much easier for local authorities to take action.

MotionX is perfect for Tattenhall's semi-rural setting. It is specifically designed to ignore non-human movement like foxes, badgers, or pets, as well as environmental factors like wind-blown trees. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity'—human behaviour that indicates a potential threat. This means you won't be woken up by false alarms in the middle of the night, but you can rest assured that if a person enters your property, scOS will recognise them and respond instantly.
