Traditional CCTV is a passive observer—it records a crime while it's happening but does nothing to prevent it. scOS is a proactive Home Intelligence system. The core of our technology is MotionX, which uses AI to identify 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means it won't be triggered by the wind on Pendle Hill or local wildlife, but it will instantly recognise a human threat. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes by turning on lights and issuing voice warnings through external speakers, stopping intruders before they can break in.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your existing cameras and integrate them into the scOS Intelligence Hub. We always recommend wired systems over wireless ones, especially in rural areas like Trawden, because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed by criminals using Wi-Fi de-auth tools. This ensures your home remains protected even in the most remote locations.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First, Presence Simulation uses AI to make your home look occupied by mimicking your daily activity patterns inside, which is the best way to deter opportunistic thieves. Second, MotionX detection identifies suspicious people at your property boundary with 100% accuracy. Third, if an intruder is detected, the system triggers an escalating response: instant lighting and clear voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive intervention is designed to drive criminals away before they ever reach your front door.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Our Intelligence Hub processes data locally on your property for maximum privacy and speed, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full access to your 24/7 recordings for up to two weeks, giving you total control over your home's security data.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only monitors your front door. scOS provides comprehensive, 360-degree intelligence for your entire property. While a doorbell might show you a thief at your door, scOS is designed to prevent them from ever getting that far. By monitoring your whole boundary and using active deterrents like lights and voice warnings, scOS stops crime before it happens. For rural properties in Trawden, a single doorbell camera simply doesn't provide enough coverage or protection.

Trawden's weather can be challenging, but scOS is built to handle it. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore environmental factors like heavy rain, wind-blown debris, and even spiders on the lens. Unlike traditional systems that would flood your phone with false alerts during a storm, scOS only notifies you when there is a genuine human threat. This ensures that your security remains reliable and your alerts remain meaningful, no matter what the Lancashire weather throws at you.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is a powerful tool for rural residents. The system can identify vehicles that don't belong at your property and check their registration plates against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a history of suspicious activity is detected near your home, scOS can alert you immediately. This is an excellent deterrent against the 'scouting' phase of rural crime, where thieves look for high-value targets like farm machinery or luxury vehicles.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that makes managing your security effortless. You can ask it natural questions like, 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' or 'Did the delivery arrive?' The AI will quickly scan your footage and provide a summary, saving you from having to manually review hours of video. It’s like having a digital security guard who knows your property inside out and can give you an instant report whenever you need it, providing peace of mind for Trawden residents.
