Traditional CCTV

  • Records crime as it happens

  • You discover break-in hours later or are in the middle of it
  • Hope police can use the footage

scOS Intelligence

  • Stops threats before they reach your door

  • Lights and speakers respond autonomously
  • They turn away before you even know

What used to be impossible is now effortless.

Add the scOS Hub and transform your cameras from recording devices into intelligent protection.

Setup my scOS

Traditional CCTV systems often provide recordings after a crime has occurred, offering little proactive protection. scOS represents a shift in approach. Its AI-powered technology detects potential threats at the property boundary – a vehicle lingering for an extended period, an individual approaching your home at an unusual hour – before an incident unfolds. The multi-camera intelligence watches your entire property simultaneously, eliminating blind spots. DVLA vehicle verification instantly flags suspicious vehicles, and the system’s pattern learning recognises your family and deliveries, minimising false alarms. The visible presence of scOS, signalling professional-grade protection, acts as a significant deterrent – often enough to make potential burglars reconsider their actions. While DIY security systems have their place, scOS offers a level of proactive prevention that can truly safeguard your home and family in Minera, considering the area's crime statistics.
