Most CCTV in Carbis Bay is passive—it simply records footage for you to look at after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. It uses our MotionX AI to distinguish between 'important activity' (like a person approaching your house) and 'noise' (like a seagull or the wind). Unlike traditional systems, scOS doesn't need you to set up complicated motion zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder before they reach your home. It’s like having a digital security guard watching your property 24/7.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink. If you already have a system installed at your Carbis Bay property, we can often 'upgrade its brain' by connecting it to our Intelligence Hub. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will integrate your existing cameras into the scOS ecosystem. This allows you to keep your current hardware while gaining all the benefits of our advanced AI, including MotionX detection, presence simulation, and proactive voice deterrents. It’s a smart way to get world-class security without starting from scratch.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which is particularly effective for Carbis Bay’s many second homes; it mimics internal activity to make the house look occupied even when you're away. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour instantly, even if someone is trying to hide their face. Third is active intervention: if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers external lights and delivers authoritative voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This immediate response tells the intruder they are being monitored by an intelligent system, which is usually enough to make them leave the area immediately.

We prioritise your privacy. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. Your footage is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and then backed up to our secure cloud. We never sell your data to third parties. You have complete control over your 24/7 recordings, which are accessible for up to two weeks via our secure app. This means you can check on your Carbis Bay home from anywhere in the world, knowing that your data is protected by the highest standards of UK privacy law.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and only alerts you when someone is already there. In a village like Carbis Bay, where properties often have large gardens or multiple entry points, you need whole-property protection. scOS monitors your entire boundary and uses AI to stop crime before it reaches your door. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS uses lights and voice warnings to prevent the thief from ever stepping onto your land. Plus, scOS eliminates the false alarms common with doorbells, focusing only on genuine threats to your home.

Carbis Bay is a premier destination, and many properties are second homes or holiday lets that sit empty for periods. scOS is perfect for this. Our Presence Simulation feature makes your home look lived-in by simulating human activity patterns inside. If someone does approach, the system’s proactive deterrents (lights and voice) act as an on-site security guard. You can check the status of your property at any time via the app, and our 'scOS Director' AI allows you to ask questions like, 'Has anyone been to the back garden this week?' giving you total peace of mind from hundreds of miles away.

Devon & Cornwall Police cover a vast area, and response times in coastal villages can vary. scOS is designed to be your first line of defence, often resolving a threat before it escalates to a crime. By using escalating voice warnings and lights, scOS typically scares off intruders immediately. If an incident does occur, scOS provides high-quality, 24/7 recorded evidence that is easily accessible. Our AI even detects covered faces and suspicious behaviour patterns, providing the police with the detailed information they need for an investigation. It’s about stopping the crime first and providing the best evidence second.

Coastal environments can be tough on electronics, but scOS is built for reliability. We use professional-grade, wired connections rather than Wi-Fi, which ensures your security never drops out due to signal interference or thick stone walls. Wired systems are also immune to 'Wi-Fi jammers,' which are increasingly used by burglars to disable wireless cameras. Our professional installation team ensures all cabling is weather-proofed and neatly installed, providing a robust system that works 24/7, regardless of the Cornish weather. This reliability is essential for maintaining high-level security in a coastal village like Carbis Bay.
