Looking for security cameras you can trust?

Transparent data practices. AI that prevents crime. No surprises.

Wired reliability. No Wi-Fi headaches.

Eufy cameras rely on Wi-Fi - and Wi-Fi is unreliable. Apps crash, cameras disconnect, connections drop. scOS uses wired PoE cameras that stay connected no matter what. Plus, wired cameras can't be disabled by criminals using cheap Wi-Fi jammers.

Other problems scOS solves

Always on. Always watching. No battery anxiety.

Eufy users report needing to charge cameras every 2 months instead of the advertised 6 months. When batteries die, so does your security. scOS uses wired PoE power - always on, 24/7, no charging, no gaps.

Crystal clear footage. Every time.

Eufy cameras struggle with blurry video, pixelation, and buffering - especially at night. scOS works with professional-grade PoE cameras from any brand. Choose the video quality you need. Always sharp, always reliable.

Real threats. Not 307 false alerts a day.

Eufy motion detection floods you with false alerts - users report 307 notifications in 12 hours with nothing there. Too sensitive? Miss real threats. Not sensitive enough? Get alerts for shadows. scOS AI sees like a human, only alerting when it matters.

We're not saying Eufy is bad.

It just wasn't built to prevent crime.

It was built to see who’s at your door.

Can You Trust Eufy Cameras? What the Privacy Scandal Means for You

If you're searching for a Eufy alternative, you're probably aware of the 2022 privacy scandal. The question on everyone's mind: is Eufy safe to use now?

Is Eufy Safe? The Facts

Eufy built their brand on "local-only" storage - your footage stays on your property, not in the cloud. In November 2022, that promise was exposed as false.

What happened:

  • Security researchers discovered Eufy secretly uploaded footage to AWS servers
  • Unencrypted camera streams could be accessed by anyone with the URL
  • When The Verge investigated, Eufy denied it - then The Verge proved they were lying
  • Eufy removed their "10 privacy promises" from their website
  • January 2025: $450,000 settlement with NY Attorney General

Should I Buy Eufy Cameras in 2026?

If you're asking "can I trust Eufy cameras?" that's a question only you can answer. The settlement happened, Eufy made changes. But the fundamental issue remains: they lied about something as important as where your home security footage goes.

Beyond the trust issue, Eufy cameras have the same limitations as other wireless systems:

  • Wi-Fi vulnerability - Can be disabled with cheap jammers
  • Battery problems - Cameras need charging far more often than advertised
  • No continuous monitoring - Battery cameras can't watch 24/7 - they only wake up when motion triggers them, missing the crucial moments before
  • False alerts - Users report 300+ false notifications daily
  • Reactive only - Records evidence, doesn't prevent crime

The scOS Alternative to Eufy

Here's what we believe security should be.

It should detect suspicious activity. Not motion. Not heat. Not pixels changing. Suspicious activity - the kind a person would notice.

It should only alert you when it matters. Your phone shouldn't buzz every time a leaf blows past. It should buzz when something is actually wrong.

It should be designed to be left alone. No fiddling with settings. No checking if it's working. You set it up once, then forget it exists - until you need it.

It should include everything. No tiers. No upgrades. No "premium features." Every feature, for every customer.

And it should work with any wired camera brand. Because you shouldn't be locked into our hardware. You should choose us because we're better, not because you're trapped.

That's scOS.

We use UK-based cloud storage with local fallback. We don't claim "local only" - we tell you exactly where your data goes, in plain English.

Making the Switch from Eufy

It's simple. An engineer comes to your property, sets up your Intelligence Hub, and connects your cameras. That's it.

You can use any PoE camera brand - scOS is software, not hardware. And you get a dedicated scOS Architect who ensures your system works perfectly.

Your home security is too important to leave to guesswork about data practices.
