Standard CCTV is a passive tool that records crime as it happens, but scOS is an active intelligence system designed to stop crime before it starts. Most systems in Whalley rely on basic motion detection, which leads to constant false alarms from wind or animals. Our MotionX technology is different; it ignores irrelevant movement and focuses only on 'important activity,' recognising people even if they are disguised or moving stealthily. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes. If a threat is detected at your boundary, the system automatically triggers lights and escalating voice warnings from external speakers to deter the intruder immediately, providing a level of protection passive systems can't match.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP camera systems, such as Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If your Whalley home is already equipped with cameras, our Intelligence Hub can often integrate with them, instantly adding AI capabilities like MotionX detection and DVLA vehicle recognition. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will perform a full assessment of your existing hardware. This means you can upgrade to the UK's most advanced home intelligence system without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, making it both a smart and cost-effective security solution.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your Whalley home secure. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic your internal activity patterns, making your home look occupied even when you're out at the Abbey or further afield. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, regardless of how they are dressed. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder is detected, scOS triggers instant lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive response lets the intruder know they've been spotted by an intelligent system, which is usually enough to make them flee immediately.

We take your privacy very seriously. scOS is 100% UK-based, with all data stored in secure UK data centres and managed in strict accordance with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the AI analysis locally in your Whalley home for speed and privacy. Data is only escalated to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced features or remote access. Your footage is yours alone; we never sell user data. You have 24/7 access to your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, ensuring your home remains private and protected.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only shows you who is at your door, often after they've already arrived. In a village like Whalley, you need to protect your entire property, not just the front entrance. scOS is a professional, wired system that provides comprehensive boundary protection and cannot be jammed like Wi-Fi doorbells. It uses DVLA vehicle recognition to monitor your driveway and proactive voice deterrents to stop intruders before they reach your house. While a doorbell records a visitor, scOS actively prevents a burglary, offering far superior protection for your home.

Whalley’s historic charm and popular local venues mean there is often high footfall near residential properties. scOS features Automatic Property Boundary Detection, which intelligently distinguishes between people on the public footpath and someone actually entering your property. Because MotionX is trained to ignore irrelevant motion, you won't be bothered by false alarms from the general village bustle. The system only activates its deterrents when someone crosses the line onto your private land, providing robust security that respects the busy nature of the village.

With the A59 providing easy access to Whalley, vehicle-related crime is a concern for many residents. scOS includes advanced DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which reads the registration of any car entering your driveway and checks it against the national database. This can flag suspicious or 'cloned' plates that may be scouting the area. You can even ask the scOS Director, 'What cars have been on my drive today?' to get a natural language report. This proactive monitoring provides an essential layer of security for your vehicles and property.
