Standard CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records your property being violated so you can show the footage to the police after the fact. scOS is a digital bodyguard. Our system uses MotionX technology, a revolutionary AI that focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. While traditional cameras are triggered by swaying trees, cobwebs, or passing foxes, scOS ignores the noise and only alerts you to genuine threats. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. By automatically detecting your property boundaries, it can trigger instant light and voice responses to deter an intruder before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a video of a crime and preventing the crime from happening in the first place.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence system. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes your video feeds locally using our proprietary AI before escalating to the cloud. By using your existing wired infrastructure, we provide a more secure and stable connection than wireless alternatives, which are often susceptible to signal jamming by modern criminals.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which is our primary passive deterrent. The system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them while you're away, making the house appear occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection. This AI is trained to recognise human behaviour regardless of whether a person is walking, crawling, or attempting to hide their figure with a mask or hoodie. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If the AI detects a persistent threat, it triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and activates automatic lighting. This proactive approach forces criminals to realise they have been spotted, usually causing them to flee before attempting a break-in.

We take data privacy incredibly seriously. Unlike many security companies that store data on international servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means our company, our support teams, and our data centres are all located right here in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours and is never sold or shared with third parties. Your Intelligence Hub processes most of the AI logic locally on your property for maximum speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for heavy lifting and remote access. You have 24/7 access to your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, giving you total peace of mind.

A video doorbell is a useful tool for seeing who is at the door, but it is fundamentally reactive. It usually only alerts you once someone is already on your doorstep, and it offers very little in the way of actual crime prevention. scOS is a comprehensive home intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While a doorbell might show you a parcel being stolen, scOS uses AI to identify suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your driveway or garden. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS is designed to stop a criminal in their tracks long before they get near your front door. It’s proactive security versus a simple digital peephole.

Connor Downs' proximity to the A30 makes it a convenient location for residents, but it also makes it accessible for criminals using the road network to target multiple villages in one night. scOS features integrated DVLA vehicle recognition. This allows the system to scan the registration plates of vehicles entering your driveway and check them against the DVLA database. If a vehicle is using cloned plates or has been flagged for suspicious activity, scOS can alert you immediately and initiate a higher state of alert for your property's defences. It’s a powerful tool for identifying 'casing' behaviour before an attempted theft.

Many residents in the Connor Downs and Hayle area have second homes or travel frequently. Our Presence Simulation is designed specifically for this. Unlike simple timer switches that turn lights on at the same time every day, scOS learns the complex patterns of a lived-in home. It simulates internal movement and lighting changes that look natural to an outside observer. This makes your property a much less attractive target for burglars who look for signs of an empty house. You can monitor everything from our app, giving you the confidence that your Cornish home looks occupied even when you're miles away.

In a village like Connor Downs, Devon & Cornwall Police have a large geographic area to cover. scOS provides an immediate, automated response that doesn't wait for a patrol car to arrive. Our AI-driven voice deterrents and automatic lighting responses happen the second a threat is detected. By the time a criminal has even reached your porch, they have already been warned by an AI-generated voice from our external IoT speakers. This immediate intervention is often enough to scare off intruders, providing a level of protection that bridges the gap during police response times.
