The primary difference is that scOS is proactive, while traditional CCTV is reactive. Most systems in Warton simply record footage of a crime for you to watch later. scOS uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person or vehicle entering your property—and ignores distractions like wind, rain, or animals. You don't need to set up complex motion masks; the AI understands your property boundaries automatically. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action. It uses external IoT speakers and lighting to deliver an escalating response, warning intruders off before they can cause any damage. It’s like having a digital security guard watching your home 24/7, rather than just a camera.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have a wired system installed at your Warton home, our Intelligence Hub can likely take over the feeds and upgrade them with our advanced AI. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your existing cameras to ensure they are compatible with our system. This means you can get the benefits of MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents without having to pay for an entirely new set of cameras, making it a smart upgrade for your existing security.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to keep your home safe. First, 'Presence Simulation' makes your Warton home look occupied when you're out by mimicking natural human activity patterns inside. Second, our MotionX AI detects suspicious behaviour the moment someone steps onto your property, even if they are trying to hide their identity. Third is 'Active Intervention.' If the AI identifies a threat, it triggers bright external lights and authoritative voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This immediate response signals to the intruder that they have been caught by an intelligent system, which is usually enough to make them flee immediately, long before they reach your door or windows.

Privacy is fundamental to scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub processes AI detection locally at your Warton property for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for complex analysis and remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. This ensures your home is protected by world-class AI without ever compromising your family's privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only sees what's directly in front of it, often after someone is already at your door. scOS provides comprehensive, 360-degree protection for your entire property in Warton. While a doorbell might alert you to a caller, scOS monitors your drive, side gates, and gardens simultaneously. It uses advanced AI like MotionX to eliminate false alarms and DVLA vehicle recognition to identify suspicious cars. scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens, using active deterrents to keep intruders away from your home entirely, rather than just filming them once they've arrived.

Warton's proximity to major employers like BAE Systems means there is a lot of daily traffic and people moving through the village. scOS is perfect for this environment because our MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore 'background noise' and focus only on activity that matters to your property. Furthermore, our DVLA vehicle recognition can help you keep track of vehicles entering your drive, providing an extra layer of security for residents who may be away from home for long shifts and want to ensure their property remains secure.

Not at all. Our professional UK installation is a clean, efficient process that typically takes between 4 and 6 hours. We use wired connections because they are more secure and cannot be jammed like wireless systems, but our engineers are experts at discreetly routing cables to maintain the appearance of your Warton home. Once installed, the system is incredibly easy to use. You can interact with it using 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, which lets you ask simple questions about your security in plain English, making it accessible for everyone.

While Warton's property crime rate is lower than the national average, the overall crime rate in the area is significant. This suggests that while the village is generally safe, there is a high level of activity that could spill over into residential areas. scOS helps you stay proactive rather than reactive. By having a system that actively deters intruders and monitors your boundaries, you ensure that your home doesn't become one of the statistics. It’s about providing a visible and intelligent deterrent that keeps your family safe and your property secure, regardless of local trends.
