Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime before it happens. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web or gust of wind, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only. It recognises people regardless of how they move or what they are wearing, meaning zero false alarms for you. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. By detecting a threat at the property boundary, it can trigger automatic light responses and voice deterrents to warn intruders off before they ever reach your door. It transforms your security from a digital witness into an active digital guard.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can breathe new life into your existing 'dumb' cameras. If you have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with them. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes just 4 to 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware. We transform these passive cameras into an intelligent network by routing their feeds through our local processing hub. This allows you to keep your existing investment while upgrading to world-class AI features like MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive voice deterrents without needing a full hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away, the system learns your normal internal lighting and activity patterns and replicates them, making your home look occupied to anyone scouting the area. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary—even if the person is trying to hide their face or change their silhouette. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This isn't just a silent alert; scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and illuminates the area with automatic light responses. This immediate, proactive feedback tells the intruder they've been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who send all your data abroad, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then backed up to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. This hybrid approach ensures that your system works even if the internet goes down, while providing you with 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings from anywhere in the world. We never sell your data, and you maintain full control over who can view your feeds. By keeping everything within the UK, we ensure the highest standards of data protection and provide you with the peace of mind that your private life stays private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door once they've already arrived. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system designed to stop a criminal before they even reach your doorstep. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that auto-detects your land lines. It doesn't just show you a recording of a package being stolen; it uses proactive deterrents like voice warnings and presence simulation to prevent the thief from approaching in the first place. Furthermore, scOS is professionally installed and wired, meaning it can't be jammed like many wireless doorbell cameras, providing a much higher level of professional-grade security.

Thornhill's coastal location means your security system has to withstand salt air, high winds, and driving rain. Unlike cheap consumer cameras that fail in these conditions, scOS uses professional-grade, wired hardware that is built to last. Our MotionX AI is specifically designed to filter out the 'noise' of coastal weather—like rain on the lens or wind-blown debris—ensuring that your alerts are always accurate. We use wired connections rather than Wi-Fi, which is not only more secure against jamming but also far more reliable in the face of Cumbrian weather, ensuring your home is protected 24/7, 365 days a year.

Many Thornhill residents work at Sellafield or other local industries with demanding shift patterns. This often leaves homes empty at irregular hours. scOS’s Presence Simulation is the perfect solution; it doesn't just use a simple timer, but learns your actual household patterns and replicates them realistically. Whether you're on a night shift or a long day, your home will appear occupied to anyone watching. If someone does approach, the system's AI will detect them and deliver a voice warning, providing a proactive layer of security that works around your specific professional schedule.

Thornhill is a tight-knit community with very low property crime, but its location near Egremont means it isn't immune to opportunists. scOS helps maintain this safety by acting as a digital neighborhood watch. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition can identify and log any unfamiliar vehicles entering your property, checking them against national databases for cloned plates. This intelligence is invaluable for keeping the village secure. By installing scOS, you aren't just protecting your own home; you're providing a high-tech deterrent that makes the entire area less attractive to criminals, supporting the work of the Cumbria Constabulary.
