Fed up with Honeywell?
A different kind of security
Security shouldn't be monitoring crimes in progress. It should prevent them before they happen.
Video doorbell
Someone approaches your home
Camera records what happens
You get a notification (maybe)
Crime already happened. You have footage.
Makes criminals vulnerable
Someone approaches your home
AI analyses their behaviour in real-time
Suspicious? System intervenes automatically
They leave. Crime prevented.
Honeywell sends you an alert after an intruder has already triggered the system. By then, they're already inside. scOS AI stops threats before they reach your door with lights, sirens, and voice warnings.
Honeywell
Honeywell only alerts you - it doesn't prevent
scOS
Proactive AI deterrence
We're not saying Honeywell is bad.
It just wasn't built to prevent crime.
It was built to see who’s at your door.

If you're searching for a Honeywell alternative, there's a fundamental problem with their approach: Honeywell monitors breaches. It doesn't prevent them.
The most common frustrations that send people searching for a Honeywell alternative:
Honeywell is fine if you just want motion alerts. If that's your expectation, it works. But if you're asking "is Honeywell actually securing my home?" - that's a different question.
Honeywell sends you a notification after someone's already inside your home. By then, they're past your front door. You get an alert, but there's no intervention, no deterrence, and no professional response.
Worse: their products are being discontinued. October 2024 saw Honeywell Home Security base stations stop functioning entirely, with customers discovering this in real time through failed arming attempts - not customer service notifications.
We asked ourselves a simple question: what would security look like if it actually worked?
Not security that bombards you with notifications. Not security that demands your attention. Security that simply does its job - like having a person watching over your property who only taps you on the shoulder when something genuinely matters.
That's scOS.
Our AI focuses on one thing: detecting suspicious activity. It watches. It learns. It understands the difference between your neighbour's cat and someone casing your property. And when something's wrong - actually wrong - it alerts you. Just like a person would.
The best part? It's designed to be left alone. No configuration menus. No sensitivity sliders. No weekly app check-ins to make sure everything's still working. You install it once, and then you forget about it. Because that's what security should be.
Every feature is included - no tiers, no add-ons, no "premium" upsells. AI detection, cloud storage with local fallback, professional monitoring, automatic responses. See everything you get.
And because scOS works with any wired camera brand, you're never locked in. Your cameras, your choice. We handle the intelligence.
No pressure. See what a scOS system would look like for your home. Your dedicated scOS Architect will handle the rest.
