What happens if my internet goes down?

Event footage stays on your Intelligence Hub. If you have opted for an external hard disk, 24/7 recording continues locally during an outage. Cloud detection and remote alerts resume when the connection comes back.

Event footage stays on your Intelligence Hub. If you have opted for an external hard disk, 24/7 recording continues on that disk during an outage. Cloud detection, remote alerts and live view from away will not run until the connection comes back. Recordings do not upload as a cloud footage library when the connection returns.

scOS is designed for the real world, where internet connections sometimes fail. You don't lose the Hub archive during an outage — you lose cloud detection and remote access until you're back online.

Can scOS read number plates?

Yes. scOS can read the number plates of vehicles arriving at your property, so your alert shows which vehicle turned up. It doesn't check plates against the DVLA or look up who owns a vehicle.
