Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your home being burgled, whereas scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent the crime from happening. 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'—specifically human behaviour—with zero false alarms. Instead of just watching, scOS intervenes automatically using light and voice deterrents the moment a boundary is breached, providing a level of security that old-fashioned cameras simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI-driven network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub, allowing you to upgrade your security without the cost of replacing every camera.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First, our Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied even when you're away by mimicking natural human activity patterns inside the house. Second, our MotionX technology identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your property, even if they are wearing a mask or trying to hide. Finally, the system initiates an escalating response: if a threat is detected, external IoT speakers deliver AI voice warnings and lights illuminate the area, making it clear to the intruder that they have been spotted and the police are being notified.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. All data is processed through our UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant, ensuring your footage remains your property and is never sold to third parties. We use a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub handles immediate analysis locally on your property before escalating critical events to our secure UK cloud, giving you 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell only tells you who is at your front door, often after they've already pressed it; scOS protects your entire property boundary. While doorbells are easily bypassed or covered, scOS uses professional-grade wired cameras that cannot be jammed and monitors every angle of your home. It doesn't just show you a crime in progress—it uses AI to stop the intruder before they ever reach your door, providing a comprehensive shield that a single doorbell camera simply cannot provide.

For Bude residents with second homes or holiday lets, scOS is the perfect management tool. Our Presence Simulation makes the property look occupied even during the off-season, deterring burglars. You can use 'scOS Director' to ask, 'Is the property secure?' or 'When did the cleaners leave?' from anywhere in the world, giving you total oversight of your Cornish retreat without needing to be there in person.

We understand that Bude's coastal environment can be harsh. That's why we use high-quality, professional-grade wired cameras and hardware designed to withstand the elements. Unlike wireless systems that can struggle with thick stone walls or salt-air interference, our wired installations provide a robust, jam-proof connection that ensures your security remains active through every Atlantic storm.

Bude sees a significant influx of visitors during the summer, which can lead to an increase in opportunistic property crime. scOS uses Activity Pattern Recognition to learn what 'normal' looks like for your home. When the town gets busy, the system remains focused on your property boundaries, using AI to identify suspicious loitering or unauthorised access, ensuring your home stays a private sanctuary even during the height of the tourist season.
