Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your home being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity.' It recognises humans regardless of their movement or if they are trying to hide their shape, and it does so without needing you to draw complex motion masks. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. When a threat is detected at your property boundary, the system automatically triggers light and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Yes, in the vast majority of cases, scOS can breathe new life into your existing hardware. We are brand agnostic, meaning our Intelligence Hub is compatible with most professional wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We transform your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network by offloading the processing to our local Hub and UK-based cloud. This allows you to keep your existing investment while upgrading to world-class AI features like DVLA vehicle recognition and proactive voice deterrents without needing to replace every camera on your Waddington property.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage. The first layer is Presence Simulation; when you're away from your Waddington home, the system simulates natural human activity patterns inside, making the property appear occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary—even if the intruder is wearing a mask or a hoodie. The final layer is Active Intervention. If a threat persists, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and floods the area with light. Unlike a standard alarm that rings after a window is broken, scOS makes it clear to the criminal that they have been spotted and identified long before they attempt entry.

Privacy and security are at the core of scOS. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for storage and advanced analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we believe your data belongs to you. We never sell your information to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. 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 useful tool for seeing who is at your front door, but it is not a comprehensive security system. Doorbells typically have a limited field of view, rely on slow Wi-Fi that can be easily jammed, and only alert you once someone is already on your doorstep. scOS provides whole-property protection. It monitors your entire boundary, detects threats early, and uses wired connections that are immune to signal jamming. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS offers a proactive shield for your entire home, not just a digital peephole for your front door.

Rural property crime is a growing concern in the Ribble Valley. scOS is uniquely suited for Waddington homes because it doesn't just record—it prevents. Our AI-driven boundary detection is automatic, meaning it monitors your entire perimeter without you having to set up complex zones. If someone enters your land with suspicious intent, the system's escalating response—from lights to voice warnings—is often enough to make them turn back. For Waddington residents, this means your home is protected even when you're enjoying an evening at the Higher Buck or the Waddington Arms.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Did any delivery vans arrive today?' or 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' The Director will analyse the data and give you a clear, concise answer. It’s like having a security guard who has watched every second of your footage and can report back to you instantly. This makes managing your home security in Waddington effortless and intuitive.

Yes, scOS is designed to be 'wired over wireless.' We use professional-grade cabling for all our camera installations. This is crucial because wireless cameras and doorbells can be easily disabled by 'Wi-Fi jammers'—devices that are increasingly used by sophisticated burglars. By using a wired connection, scOS ensures that your security remains online and functional even if a criminal attempts to jam local signals. This provides a level of reliability that off-the-shelf wireless systems simply cannot match, ensuring your Waddington home is always protected.
