Professional Vivotek hardware. Basic VMS software.

How to Make Your Vivotek Cameras Smarter

You've chosen Vivotek for good reasons. Their PoE cameras deliver reliable footage, integrate well with industry-standard protocols, and provide solid value for professional installations. Vivotek's VAST software is competent management platform, and their Taiwanese manufacturing reputation justifies confidence in the hardware.

But reliable recording isn't the same as intelligent prevention.

The Vivotek VAST Limitation

Vivotek VAST is a functional VMS, but it has fundamental limitations:

• Basic motion detection and alerts without contextual understanding
• Third-party analytics integration is complex and often requires Milestone VMS or similar platforms
• Firmware updates can cause cache conflicts with integrated VMS software, creating compatibility headaches
• Configuration for advanced features requires technical expertise
• You're limited to Vivotek's own analytics, which don't evolve with emerging threat patterns

Can You Add Real Prevention to Vivotek?

Yes, without replacing your cameras.

scOS works with your existing Vivotek cameras, adding an AI intelligence layer that Vivotek VAST simply cannot provide:

Beyond basic motion detection:

• Contextual AI that learns normal patterns and identifies genuine anomalies
• Understands behaviour, not just movement - distinguishes delivery drivers from potential intruders
• Predicts escalating threat patterns before they become incidents

Actual crime prevention:

• Detects suspicious behaviour before it happens
• Automatically triggers lights, audio warnings, and physical deterrents
• Criminals abandon the attempt before reaching your property

Simplified operations:

• No complex third-party integrations or VMS software conflicts
• No firmware update compatibility issues
• One platform, one support contact, unified intelligence across all cameras

Making the Upgrade

Adding scOS to your Vivotek system:

1. Keep your cameras - Your PoE infrastructure and existing hardware continue working exactly as before
2. Simple installation - It's simple. An engineer comes to your property, sets up your Intelligence Hub, and connects your cameras. That's it.
3. Immediate transformation - From recording system to prevention system in days, not months

Your Vivotek investment is solid hardware. scOS ensures it actually prevents crime, rather than simply documenting it after the fact.

The scOS Difference

Here's what we believe.

Security cameras have been doing the same thing for decades: recording. They wait for something bad to happen, then give you footage to look at afterwards. That's not security. That's documentation.

We built scOS to do something different. It focuses on detecting suspicious activity before it becomes a crime. It watches, it learns, and it only alerts you when something actually matters—just like a person would.

And once it's set up, you can forget about it. No tweaking settings. No checking feeds. No endless notifications about cats and shadows. It's designed to be left alone, working quietly in the background while you get on with your life.

Every feature is included from day one. No tiers, no upsells, no "premium" add-ons. See everything you get.

One more thing: scOS works with any wired camera brand. Your Vivotek cameras. Your neighbour's Hikvision. That old Axis camera in the corner. It doesn't matter. If it's wired and it streams, scOS makes it intelligent.
