Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that acts as a digital security guard. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which doesn't just detect 'motion' like old systems that trigger for every spider or gust of wind. Instead, it identifies 'important activity'—specifically recognising people and vehicles with near-zero false alarms. While your old system might send you a hundred useless notifications, scOS only alerts you when it matters. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. By using automatic property boundary detection, it knows exactly where your land starts and can trigger lights or voice warnings the moment a trespasser crosses the line, stopping a crime before it even begins.

Absolutely. One of the most powerful features of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. We can take your existing 'dumb' wired IP cameras—whether they are Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, or other major brands—and transform them into a high-end AI security network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes about 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub then applies our advanced MotionX AI and proactive deterrent features to your existing feeds. This means you don't have to rip out your current investment to get world-class AI protection; you just need to give your cameras the 'brain' they’ve been missing.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to keep your Constantine home safe. The first layer is Presence Simulation. This isn't just a simple timer; it uses AI to learn your normal internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home appear occupied to anyone watching. The second layer is our MotionX detection. Our AI recognises people regardless of how they move or if they try to cover their faces with hoods or masks. Finally, we have Active Intervention. If a threat is detected on your property, the system triggers escalating responses. This starts with instant illumination from external lights and can progress to clear, authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By the time a criminal reaches your door, they already know they've been spotted and identified.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many international brands that send your footage to servers across the globe, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your data is processed through our UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles much of the heavy lifting locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. You retain full control over your footage at all times. We never sell your data, and we ensure that your private life stays private. You get the benefits of world-class AI without the privacy concerns associated with big-tech silicon valley or overseas companies.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. By that point, a package might already be gone or a lock might be tampered with. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back garden. More importantly, scOS is proactive. A doorbell might record a thief, but scOS stops them from approaching in the first place through presence simulation and escalating voice deterrents. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a professional security team watching every corner of your property 24/7. In a village like Constantine, where homes often have unique layouts and hidden entrances, a doorbell is simply insufficient.

Constantine is a popular location for second homes and holiday lets. When a property sits empty for weeks at a time, it becomes a prime target for burglars. scOS is the perfect solution for this. Our Presence Simulation AI doesn't just turn lights on and off; it mimics the actual patterns of human life inside the house, making it look genuinely occupied. You can monitor your property from anywhere in the world via the scOS app, and if the system detects an intruder, it will take proactive steps to scare them off while notifying you immediately. It’s like having a permanent resident looking after your Cornish retreat.

Constantine is a peaceful village with a crime rate well below the national average, but this can lead to complacency. Criminals often target affluent, low-crime areas specifically because they expect security to be lax. Property crime still occurs, and the rural nature of the Helford River area means that once a thief is on your property, they are often shielded from the view of neighbours. scOS removes this advantage by using AI to monitor your boundaries 24/7. It ensures that even in the quietest village, your home remains a hard target that criminals will choose to avoid.

With the Helford River nearby, many Constantine residents have boats, trailers, or expensive outdoor gear stored on their property. Standard security systems often struggle to cover these large, open areas. scOS uses automatic property boundary detection to create a virtual shield around your entire land. Our MotionX AI is trained to recognise suspicious behaviour around high-value items, even in low light. If someone approaches your boat or outbuilding, scOS can trigger an immediate voice warning, letting the intruder know they are being watched and recorded, protecting your lifestyle and your investments.
