Ring is built around a simple idea: see who's at your door. That's genuinely useful. The doorbell camera, the easy app, the quick notification when someone presses the button.
But Ring cameras are wireless. They run on batteries or Wi-Fi. They can be jammed. They wake up on motion, which means they sleep the rest of the time. And when something bad happens, Ring gives you a recording. You can watch your package get stolen. You can share the clip with neighbours. You can give it to the police, who will add it to a file.
scOS starts from a different premise: what if the theft didn't happen?
We use wired cameras that can't be jammed. We watch continuously, not just when motion triggers. And when we see a threat approaching your property, we don't just record it. We turn on lights. We trigger speakers. We make the criminal realise they've picked the wrong house.
Ring shows you what happened. scOS stops it from happening.
