Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, but it does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that monitors your West Kirby property in real-time. Our proprietary MotionX technology is the core differentiator—it doesn't just look for 'motion' (which leads to false alarms from wind or wildlife), but identifies 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of their movement or if they are trying to hide their figure. Because it understands the difference between a seagull and a person at your patio doors, it can trigger automatic interventions like lighting and voice warnings before a break-in occurs. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS works out of the box, automatically detecting your property boundaries and ignoring everything else.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a state-of-the-art AI security network. We support most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video feed locally before escalating critical data to our secure UK cloud. This means you don't need to rip out your existing investment to benefit from proactive AI protection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and our escalating response protocols.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals before they reach your door. The first layer is Presence Simulation; the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away—turning lights on and off in a natural way to make the house look occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or people attempting to conceal their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This starts with instant illumination to strip away the cover of darkness, followed by escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These aren't just pre-recorded clips; they are AI-driven deterrents that let the intruder know they have been spotted and identified.

Privacy and data security are at the heart of scOS. Unlike many security companies that outsource data processing to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response, and only critical events are escalated to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data, and you maintain full control over who can access your feeds. Our system provides 24/7 recording with up to two weeks of footage stored securely, accessible only by you through our encrypted app. By keeping everything within the UK—from our support teams to our servers—we ensure that your home's intelligence remains private and protected under the strictest data laws in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door—often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, from side gates to rear gardens. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime, not just record it. While a doorbell might send a notification to your phone while you're busy, scOS takes independent action using light and voice deterrents to scare off intruders. It also features advanced AI like DVLA vehicle recognition to spot suspicious cars on your driveway, providing a level of security that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot match.

West Kirby is a popular commuter town, and many homes are left empty during the day while residents are in Liverpool or Chester. Our 'Presence Simulation' is designed for exactly this scenario. It learns your typical daily habits—when you turn on the kitchen lights or move through the hallway—and replicates those patterns while you're at work. This makes your home look occupied to anyone scouting the street, providing a powerful passive deterrent that standard alarms simply can't match.

Living on the Wirral coast means your equipment needs to be tough. During our professional installation, we use high-quality, wired cameras designed to withstand salt air and coastal winds. Unlike wireless systems that can be prone to interference or battery drain in cold weather, our wired setup ensures a consistent, high-definition feed. Furthermore, our MotionX AI is specifically trained to ignore the movement of trees in high winds or the activity of coastal birds, so you won't be bothered by false alarms during a storm.

West Kirby is a desirable area, which unfortunately attracts car thieves. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which monitors your driveway and identifies any vehicle that enters. It can distinguish between your own cars and a stranger's vehicle. If a car with cloned plates or a known suspicious registration is detected, the system can alert you immediately and even trigger a voice warning to let the occupants know they've been identified, stopping 'car-key' burglaries before they begin.
