Fed up with Foscam?

A different kind of security

Reliable Foscam hardware. Dated software.

What if your cameras could think like a modern security system?

Foscam

Video doorbell

1

Someone approaches your home

2

Camera records what happens

3

You get a notification (maybe)

4

Crime already happened. You have footage.

scOS

Makes criminals vulnerable

1

Someone approaches your home

2

AI analyses their behaviour in real-time

3

Suspicious? System intervenes automatically

4

They leave. Crime prevented.

Detection that actually works

Foscam's motion detection triggers on IR changes at sunrise and sunset, headlights, and shadows. scOS AI understands context - learning your property's normal patterns to identify genuine threats, not lighting changes.

Other problems scOS solves

App that actually responds

Foscam's app suffers from constant connectivity issues and lag. Live view buffers, remote access drops, and accessing footage takes minutes. scOS delivers instant responsiveness with a modern app architecture that handles hundreds of events per day without slowdowns.

Crystal-clear footage when it matters

Foscam cameras offer good resolution, but their compression algorithms sacrifice detail for bandwidth. scOS optimises video streaming and storage, ensuring you capture clear facial features and vehicle details that identify criminals - not pixelated blurs.

Intelligence, not just motion sensors

Foscam motion detection is binary: pixel change = alert. scOS watches for intentional movement patterns - someone walking toward your door, loitering, climbing fences. It ignores rustling leaves and passing cars. Your cameras finally understand intent.

We're not saying Foscam is bad.

It just wasn't built to prevent crime.

It was built for surveillance.

How to Improve Foscam Motion Detection

If you're looking to upgrade your Foscam security system, you've probably noticed something: the hardware is solid, but the software feels stuck in 2015.

Foscam has been making cameras for years. They're reliable, work with brand-agnostic camera support, and PoE models are genuinely well-built. The problem isn't your cameras. It's everything else.

The Foscam Software Problem

Users consistently report the same frustrations:

App reliability issues: Slow responses, settings that mysteriously don't save, connectivity drops whilst being 20 feet from the router
Removed web interface: Newer Foscam cameras don't support browser access - a "major step backwards" according to users
Firmware roulette: Updates can brick cameras entirely. Forum advice is literally "DO NOT let the app update the firmware"
Basic motion detection: IR-cut transitions trigger false alarms at sunrise and sunset. Every. Single. Day.

Can You Upgrade Foscam Detection?

Yes - and you don't need to replace your cameras to do it.

scOS is software that connects to your existing Foscam cameras. It adds a modern AI intelligence layer that Foscam's dated software simply doesn't have:

Better detection:

Contextual AI that learns your property's normal patterns
Ignores IR transitions, shadows, and lighting changes
Alerts only on genuine anomalies

Actual prevention:

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

Reliable control:

One app that actually works
No risk of bricking your cameras
Continuous improvements without touching your hardware

The scOS Alternative

We asked ourselves: what if a security system could think?

Not just record. Not just detect motion. Actually understand what it's seeing.

scOS focuses on one thing: detecting suspicious activity. It watches your property the way a person would - understanding context, recognising patterns, knowing when something isn't right.

It only alerts you when it matters. No notifications about cats. No alarms at sunrise. Just the moments that actually need your attention.

The best part? It's designed to be left alone. No settings to tweak. No sensitivity adjustments. No input needed. It simply works.

Every feature is included - no tiers, no add-ons, no "premium" upgrades. See everything you get.

And it works with any wired camera brand. Including your Foscam.

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

You've already invested in the hardware. scOS makes that investment actually protect you.
