scOS works with your existing Power over Ethernet (PoE) CCTV cameras. PoE means one cable handles both power and data — no separate power supplies, no batteries to charge.

Your cameras connect to an Intelligence Hub that sits next to your router. Think of it as the brain of your home security. The Hub performs initial processing across all your cameras, looking for anything that matters.

When something potentially important happens, the Hub communicates with scOS in the cloud for deeper analysis. This is where things get interesting. scOS doesn't just see motion — it considers context: your routines, people you've told it about, the weather, local events, crime patterns in your area, the time of day, and dozens of subtle factors that help determine whether something is actually suspicious.

If it is, scOS alerts you through the app and can control your smart devices to deter criminals automatically. While you're away, it simulates activity throughout your home — lights, sounds, presence — so it looks like someone's always there. No timers. No schedules to manage. Just intelligence.
