Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune for later review. scOS transforms your security into a proactive shield using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on 'motion masks' and frequently trigger false alarms from swaying trees or passing shadows, MotionX understands 'important activity.' It ignores cobwebs, spiders, and weather, focusing exclusively on genuine threats like people or vehicles. When a potential intruder is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents to stop the crime before it happens. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We transform 'dumb' cameras into intelligent sensors by offloading the processing to our local hub and cloud infrastructure. This means you don't need to replace your entire investment to benefit from our advanced AI features like DVLA vehicle recognition or proactive voice deterrents.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home appear occupied even when you're away. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour regardless of whether an intruder is wearing a mask or trying to hide their figure. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers Active Intervention. This includes instant illumination of the area and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By detecting the property boundary automatically and responding the moment a line is crossed, scOS ensures criminals feel watched and unwelcome long before they reach your door.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All video processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before escalating to our secure UK-based data centres for advanced AI analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data remains entirely yours; we never sell or share your footage with third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. By keeping our operations, support, and data storage within the UK, we ensure the highest standards of digital security and legal protection for Bere Alston residents.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door—often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from your driveway to your back garden. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime, not just record it. A doorbell won't simulate your presence inside the house or issue escalating voice warnings to a prowler in your garden. With scOS, you get a professional-grade, wired system that can't be jammed like wireless doorbells, providing a robust defence that covers every corner of your home.

Bere Alston’s unique peninsula location means that police response times can be longer than in more central areas. scOS is designed to be your first line of defence, acting autonomously to deter intruders. Our 'Automatic Intervention'—including instant lighting and voice deterrents—works the moment a boundary is breached. By the time an intruder even considers entering your home, they have already been spotted and warned by an AI voice. This immediate, local intervention is often enough to make a criminal flee, providing you with security that doesn't rely solely on a Devon & Cornwall Police patrol.

Many Bere Alston residents have boats, trailers, or caravans parked on their property. scOS uses 'Automatic Property Boundary Detection' to protect your entire plot. Our MotionX technology can monitor these high-value items and trigger the same escalating responses—lights and voice warnings—if someone approaches them. Because the system is wired, it remains reliable even at the edge of your driveway or garden, ensuring your leisure equipment is just as protected as your home.

Absolutely. Our 'scOS Director' is a conversational AI that allows you to ask natural questions about your property. You can ask, 'Has anyone been near the back garden today?' or 'When did the delivery arrive?' and get an immediate, intelligent response. This is perfect for Bere Alston residents who want to stay connected to their home while out on the water or visiting Tavistock, providing peace of mind without the need to constantly check a video feed.
