Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records the crime for you to watch after the fact. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that acts as a digital guard for your Workington home. Using our MotionX technology, scOS identifies 'important activity'—specifically human presence—and ignores false triggers like pets or swaying trees. When a person is detected on your property, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic lights and voice warnings to deter them. It also features scOS Director, a conversational AI that lets you ask questions about your property's security as if you were talking to a real person.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink. If your Workington home already has a camera system, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with it, upgrading your existing setup with our advanced AI features. Our professional UK-based installers will perform a full assessment during the 4-6 hour installation process. This means you can get the benefits of proactive AI protection and presence simulation without needing to invest in an entirely new set of cameras.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent system. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside while you're away. Second, MotionX detection identifies suspicious individuals, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third, if someone enters your property, scOS triggers an escalating response, including instant lighting and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach is designed to stop a crime in its tracks by making the intruder realise they have been spotted by an active system.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in compliance with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. The system uses a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most tasks locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using the cloud for advanced AI analysis or remote access. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only shows you who is at your front door. In a town like Workington, where crime rates are significantly higher than the national average, a doorbell isn't enough. scOS provides comprehensive property protection, monitoring your entire boundary and stopping criminals before they even reach your door. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition to spot suspicious cars and proactive voice deterrents, scOS offers a level of security that a simple doorbell camera cannot match.

Workington's high crime rate requires a system that doesn't just record, but actively intervenes. scOS is designed for exactly this environment. Its MotionX technology is hyper-vigilant, and its escalating voice warnings are a powerful deterrent that can stop a burglary before it happens. By making your home a 'hard target,' scOS significantly reduces the likelihood of your property being chosen by opportunistic criminals.

Yes, scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is a powerful tool for Workington residents. The system can check the registration plates of vehicles entering your driveway against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unknown car is detected, you are alerted immediately. This is an essential feature for identifying 'scouting' vehicles that may be casing residential areas, allowing you to take action before a break-in even occurs.

Cumbria Constabulary benefit from the high-quality, AI-verified evidence that scOS provides. Because our MotionX technology eliminates false alarms, any alert you receive is a verified human threat. If an incident occurs, you can use 'scOS Director' to quickly get descriptions of the intruders or their vehicles, which is invaluable for police investigations. By actively deterring the criminal before a break-in occurs, scOS also reduces the burden on local law enforcement and keeps your home safe.
