Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to prevent it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that acts like a digital security guard for your Combe Martin home. The difference is our MotionX technology, which ignores the 'noise' of swaying trees or pets and focuses exclusively on important human activity. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw boxes on a screen, scOS automatically learns your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it intervenes with automated light and voice responses to turn intruders away before they can cause damage.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can take your existing wired IP cameras—whether they are Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, or others—and make them 'smart.' During our professional installation, we integrate your current hardware with our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub provides the AI processing power that your old cameras lack, enabling features like MotionX detection and scOS Director. This is a cost-effective way for Combe Martin residents to upgrade to the UK's most advanced AI security without the expense of a completely new camera suite.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look lived-in by mimicking your internal activity patterns while you're out. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they are moving or if they are trying to hide their face. Finally, we use Active Intervention: if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers external lights and authoritative voice warnings via IoT speakers. This immediate, escalating response signals to the criminal that they are being monitored by an active system, which is far more effective at stopping a break-in than a simple siren or a passive camera.

Your privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. Most of the AI processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub within your home, only using our secure cloud for remote access and advanced analysis. 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 only covers your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides 360-degree protection for your entire property. While doorbells rely on battery power and WiFi—which can be easily jammed or run out of charge—scOS is a professionally installed, hardwired system. It doesn't just show you who is at the door; it proactively identifies and deters intruders anywhere on your land, using AI to stop crime before it reaches your doorstep. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a complete security team.

We understand that the coastal environment in North Devon can be harsh. That's why scOS uses professional-grade, hardwired cameras that are built to withstand the elements. Unlike cheap wireless cameras that can corrode or lose signal in sea mist, our hardware is selected for its durability. During our professional UK installation, we ensure all cabling is properly weather-sealed and protected, providing a robust security network that will continue to protect your Combe Martin home regardless of the Atlantic weather.

Combe Martin is a popular destination, and it's common for tourists to occasionally wander near private property. scOS is smart enough to handle this. Our Person Recognition technology focuses on behaviour and activity patterns. It can distinguish between someone who is clearly lost or just passing by and someone who is exhibiting suspicious behaviour, such as loitering or attempting to hide their presence. This ensures that you aren't constantly alerted to harmless holidaymakers, but remain fully protected against genuine threats.

scOS is an ideal solution for second homes or holiday lets in Combe Martin. Our Presence Simulation feature is particularly valuable here, as it can make the property appear occupied even when it's empty between bookings. You can monitor the property remotely from anywhere in the UK, and scOS Director can give you instant updates on any activity. Because the system is proactive, it can turn away intruders without you needing to be there, providing essential peace of mind for owners who aren't always on-site.
