Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, whereas scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime before it happens. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only. It requires no manual zones or tripwires; it automatically understands your property boundaries and recognises human behaviour, ensuring zero false alarms. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes with lights and voice deterrents to stop intruders in their tracks.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a world-class intelligence network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, you gain all the benefits of MotionX detection and scOS Director without needing to replace your entire infrastructure.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your internal activity patterns and replicate them when you're away, making your home appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or concealed faces the moment someone approaches your boundary. Finally, the system uses active intervention: if a threat persists, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and instant illumination. Unlike a standard alarm that rings after a break-in, scOS makes your home an unattractive target from the outset.

Your privacy is our absolute priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, all your video and intelligence data is processed through UK-based data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid approach where the Intelligence Hub handles critical processing locally at your home for speed, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You retain full control over your data, and we never sell or share your personal information with third parties.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your door; scOS is a proactive security system that protects your entire property. While doorbells have a limited field of view and often suffer from 'notification fatigue' due to false alarms, scOS monitors your full property boundary with 360-degree intelligence. It doesn't just show you a package being stolen—it detects the intruder at the edge of your driveway and uses voice deterrents to stop them before they reach the door. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a digital security guard.

Braunton is a beautiful place to live, but the seasonal influx of tourists can sometimes lead to opportunistic theft of high-value items like surfboards, bikes, and outdoor gear. scOS is ideal for coastal homes because our MotionX technology is designed to ignore environmental factors like wind, sea spray, and moving foliage. It focuses solely on human activity, ensuring that your expensive equipment is protected by a system that only alerts you when it matters.

If you use your Braunton property as a second home or holiday let, scOS is the perfect guardian. Our Presence Simulation feature uses AI to mimic your typical daily routines—turning lights on and off in a natural pattern—so the house never looks empty. You can also use scOS Director to ask natural questions like 'Has anyone been to the house today?' from anywhere in the world, giving you total peace of mind while you're away.

Yes, scOS is built for the British coast. We use high-quality, wired installations that are far more reliable than wireless systems, which can be prone to interference or jamming. Our hardware is designed to withstand the elements, and because the system uses local processing via our Intelligence Hub, it continues to monitor and protect your property even if the local internet connection becomes unstable during a storm.
