Fed up with Ring?

Still watching crimes happen on your Ring?

There's a security system that actually prevents them.

Ring

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.

Can't be jammed. Can't be disabled.

Ring relies on Wi-Fi - criminals use cheap jammers to disable it. scOS uses hardwired ethernet that can't be blocked or interfered with.

Wired PoE cameras from any brand

Other problems scOS solves

Rock-solid reliability. No app dependency.

Ring app crashes, won't load, or fails to connect? scOS cameras are hardwired with cloud processing and local fallback - your cameras keep recording even during brief internet outages, with AI alerts resuming when connectivity returns. Can't be jammed.

No batteries. No vulnerabilities.

Ring battery cameras can't monitor 24/7 - it would drain the battery in hours. So they only wake up when motion is detected. scOS analyses every single frame, around the clock. No gaps. No missed moments.

Crystal clear footage. Professional-grade quality.

Ring's compressed Wi-Fi video means blurry, pixelated footage when you need it most. scOS works with any professional-grade PoE camera - crisp, clear video that holds up in court.

We're not saying Ring is bad.

It just wasn't built to prevent crime.

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

Is Ring Worth It? What You Should Know

If you're searching for a Ring alternative, you've probably already discovered the limitations. Ring revolutionised smart doorbells, but there's a fundamental problem: Ring records crime. It doesn't prevent it.

Why People Look for Ring Alternatives

The most common frustrations that send people searching for a Ring alternative:

  • Wi-Fi vulnerability - Ring cameras can be disabled with a £20 jammer from Amazon. Criminals know this.
  • No true 24/7 monitoring - Ring battery cameras only wake up when motion is detected. They can't continuously monitor because it would drain the battery in hours. Real threats can slip through the gaps.
  • False alerts - Endless notifications for cars, shadows, and delivery drivers create alert fatigue.
  • Subscription costs - Ring Protect plans add up, and you need them for basic features like video history.

Should I Get Ring? The Honest Answer

Ring is fine for seeing who's at your door. If that's all you need, it works. But if you're asking "is Ring worth it for actual security?" - that's a different question.

Ring sends you a notification after someone's already on your property. You watch the theft happen. You have footage for the police, but your package is still gone.

The scOS Alternative

Here's what we believe: security should be invisible. It should work for you, not create more work for you.

scOS focuses on one thing - detecting suspicious activity before it becomes a problem. Our AI watches every frame from every camera, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When something matters, it alerts you. Just like a person would. When it doesn't matter, it stays quiet.

You don't configure it. You don't train it. You don't think about it. It just works.

All features are included - no tiers, no upsells, no "premium plans." And because scOS works with any wired camera brand, you're never locked into our hardware.

Installation? Simple. An engineer comes to your property, sets up your Intelligence Hub, and connects your cameras. That's it.
