Fed up with Annke?

Affordable Annke cameras. Basic NVR software.

What if your cameras could prevent crime, not just record it?

Constant false alerts, even at lowest sensitivity

Annke's motion detection triggers on rain, shadows, and lighting changes - users report false alerts even with sensitivity set to 1. scOS AI understands context, learning your property's normal patterns to alert only on genuine threats.

Other problems scOS solves

Basic software, frustrating app

Annke's NVR software and apps have been described as 'incredibly crappy' by users. Limited features, missing settings, and connectivity problems. scOS provides a mobile-first experience that actually works - designed so you rarely need to open it.

Recording crimes isn't preventing them

Your Annke NVR captures footage after the break-in happens. scOS adds an intervention layer - detecting suspicious behaviour and automatically triggering lights, speakers, and deterrents before criminals reach your door.

Night detection that actually works

Annke users report cameras working perfectly during the day but generating constant false alarms at night after firmware updates. scOS AI ignores IR artifacts and cobwebs that trigger basic motion detection, alerting only on real threats.

We're not saying Annke is bad.

It just wasn't built to prevent crime.

It was built for surveillance.

How to Reduce False Alerts on Annke Cameras

If you're searching for ways to stop false alerts on your Annke system, you're not alone. Users across forums report constant notifications even with motion sensitivity turned down to the lowest setting. Rain, shadows, bugs, headlights - everything triggers an alert.

Good news: you don't need to replace your cameras. You need smarter software.

Why Annke Motion Detection Triggers So Many False Alerts

Annke cameras offer excellent value for money - solid PoE hardware at affordable prices. The problem isn't the camera itself. It's the basic motion detection technology.

Annke's system detects any pixel change in the image. Technically, this means:

  • Raindrops? Motion detected.
  • Shadows moving? Motion detected.
  • Lighting changes? Motion detected.
  • Bugs flying past? Motion detected.

Even Annke's own support acknowledges that "false motion detection alerts are inevitable for regular security systems."

Users report that firmware updates can make things worse - cameras working perfectly during the day suddenly generate continuous false alarms at night. Adjusting sensitivity and detection zones helps, but never solves the fundamental problem.

Can You Upgrade Annke Detection?

Yes - without replacing your cameras.

scOS connects to your existing Annke cameras and adds contextual AI that understands behaviour, not just pixel changes:

Intelligent detection:

  • Learns your property's normal patterns over time
  • Ignores rain, IR artifacts, and lighting changes
  • Alerts only on genuine anomalies that need your attention

Actual prevention:

  • Detects suspicious behaviour before it becomes a crime
  • Automatically triggers lights, speakers, and deterrents
  • Intruders leave before reaching your door

Simpler control:

  • One reliable app instead of wrestling with Annke Vision
  • Cross-camera intelligence tracks activity across your property
  • Designed so you rarely need to check it

Keep Your Cameras, Upgrade Your Intelligence

Here's what we believe.

Security cameras shouldn't require your constant attention. They should watch your property the way a person would - noticing what matters, ignoring what doesn't.

scOS focuses on one thing: detecting suspicious activity. Not every movement. Not every shadow. Suspicious activity. The kind of thing that would make you look up if you were standing there yourself.

It only alerts you when needed. Just like a person would. No more checking your phone every five minutes. No more midnight notifications about a cat walking past.

It's designed to be left alone. Set it up, then forget about it. The best security system is one you never have to think about - until the moment it matters.

All features included. No tiers. No upgrades. No "premium plans" to unlock what should have been there from the start.

And it works with any wired camera brand. Including your Annke cameras. You've already made the investment. Now make it intelligent.
