scOS works with most internet-connected cameras that have an ethernet connection. You might see these called PoE cameras or IP cameras.
We don't support wireless cameras. Here's why: Wi-Fi cameras can be jammed with a £20 device from the internet. Battery-powered cameras have to sleep to conserve power — they wake up when they detect motion, which means they miss everything that happens in between.
scOS doesn't work on motion triggers. It watches continuously and decides what matters. That requires cameras that are always on, always connected, and can't be disabled by someone standing outside your house with a cheap jammer.
