Fed up with Kuna?

Ready for security beyond your porch light?

What if your security system covered your entire property - not just one fixture?

They leave. Crime prevented.

Wired reliability. No app headaches.

Kuna cameras rely on Wi-Fi and their app to function. Users report frequent disconnections, app crashes, and cameras going offline after updates. scOS uses wired PoE cameras that stay connected regardless of app status or Wi-Fi stability.

Other problems scOS solves

Crystal clear footage. Professional grade.

Kuna porch light cameras compress video to save bandwidth, often resulting in blurry or pixelated footage - especially at night. scOS works with any professional-grade PoE camera. Choose the resolution you need for footage that holds up when it matters.

AI that watches so you don't have to

Kuna's basic motion detection triggers on everything - cars, shadows, leaves - or misses real threats entirely. Premium subscription required for basic AI features. scOS watches like a person would - it only alerts you when something genuinely needs your attention.

Every frame analysed. Nothing missed.

Kuna only offers 2 hours of free video look-back - miss the notification and the footage is gone. Even with premium, you're limited to event-based clips. scOS analyses every single frame, 24/7, with comprehensive recording that never expires unexpectedly.

We're not saying Kuna is bad.

It just wasn't built to prevent crime.

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

Is Kuna Camera Worth It? An Honest Assessment

If you're searching for a Kuna alternative, you've likely discovered the limitations of porch light cameras - or perhaps you've read about the company's stability concerns. Kuna pioneered the smart light camera concept, but is it enough for serious home security?

Should I Buy a Kuna Camera?

Kuna offers an innovative concept - a security camera built into your porch light fixture. But innovation doesn't always equal comprehensive protection.

What you get with Kuna:

  • Camera integrated into light fixture
  • Two-way audio communication
  • Basic motion detection
  • Smart lighting controls

What you're sacrificing:

  • Coverage - Only monitors where you have compatible light fixtures, typically just the front porch
  • Reliability - Users report frequent Wi-Fi disconnections requiring device reboots
  • Company stability - Reports of devices being "bricked" after updates and platform migration chaos
  • UK availability - Not officially sold in the UK, making support and warranty problematic
  • Video history - Free tier only offers 2-hour look-back, premium required for longer retention

The Kuna Company Stability Problem

Perhaps the most concerning issue with Kuna is the uncertainty around the company itself. Users have reported:

  • Devices suddenly stopping work after software updates
  • Forced migration to new platforms with separate subscription requirements
  • Support tickets being closed without resolution
  • Hardware being "bricked" with no recourse
  • Better Business Bureau complaints about unresponsive customer service

When your home security depends on a company's ongoing support and cloud services, stability matters. A camera that worked yesterday but doesn't today isn't protecting anything.

The Limitation of Light Fixture Cameras

Kuna's fundamental limitation is that it only covers locations where you have compatible light fixtures. Most homes have:

  • One porch light at the front door
  • Perhaps a garage light
  • Maybe a back door fixture

That's it. Your side passages, garden, driveway approach, and rear entry points remain completely unmonitored. Criminals quickly learn to avoid the obvious camera location.

The scOS Alternative to Kuna

Security should be invisible. It should work without you thinking about it. And when something matters, it should tell you - just like a person would.

That's scOS.

We built it to detect suspicious activity. Not every cat. Not every car. Suspicious activity. The kind a human watching your cameras would notice and mention.

It only alerts you when needed. No notification fatigue. No endless clips to review. Just the moments that matter.

It's designed to be left alone. No tweaking sensitivity settings. No adjusting zones every week. Set it up once, then forget it exists - until it protects you.

Every feature is included. No premium tiers. No feature unlocks. Everything works from day one.

And it works with any wired camera brand. Your choice. Your hardware. Our intelligence.

Making the Switch to Proper Security

Moving from a porch light camera to comprehensive protection means covering your entire property. It's simple. An engineer comes to your property, sets up your Intelligence Hub, and connects your cameras. That's it.

Your scOS Architect designs a system that prevents crime from day one, with AI that responds to threats before they become incidents.
