Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime while it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a masked intruder after the damage is done. scOS transforms your security into a proactive guardian using MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just movement. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from trees or cobwebs, scOS works out of the box to identify real threats. It doesn't just watch; it intervenes automatically to stop intruders before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing infrastructure. If you have wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can often integrate them into the scOS ecosystem. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure compatibility. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI intelligence without the cost of replacing every camera on your property.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied when you're away by mimicking natural human activity patterns inside the house. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour—even if the person is covering their face or trying to hide—and ignores non-threats like animals or wind. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination from external lights followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers to warn the intruder they are being monitored.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. All data is processed through our local Intelligence Hubs and secured in UK-based data centres, ensuring full GDPR compliance. Unlike many international brands, we never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure encrypted platform.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your front door, often too late to prevent a break-in. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary and detecting threats long before they reach an entry point. While a doorbell might send a notification to your phone while you're busy, scOS takes autonomous action to deter the criminal. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a digital security guard that never sleeps.

Buckfastleigh's location on the edge of Dartmoor can mean properties are more isolated. scOS is perfect for rural homes because it uses wired connections that can't be jammed like WiFi systems. Our Intelligence Hub processes data locally before escalating to the cloud, ensuring that even if your internet connection is modest, your home's AI protection remains fast and responsive.

Dartmoor weather can be unpredictable, but scOS is built to handle it. Our MotionX AI is specifically designed to ignore 'false' motion like heavy rain, swaying trees, or local wildlife like sheep or ponies that might wander near your boundary. This means you only get alerted when there is a genuine human threat, preventing the 'alarm fatigue' common with older systems.

Devon & Cornwall Police cover a vast area, and response times to rural villages can be longer than in cities. scOS acts as your immediate on-site security team. By using voice deterrents and automatic lighting, the system often scares off intruders before they even attempt a break-in, effectively neutralising the threat without needing to wait for a patrol car to arrive.
