Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records footage that you might look at after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive security partner. Our MotionX technology is a revolutionary leap forward, focusing on 'important activity' rather than just movement. This means it ignores the wind in the trees or a cat crossing the garden, but instantly recognises a human presence. Unlike traditional systems, there are no complex 'zones' to set up; the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with external IoT speakers and lighting to deter the intruder before they can attempt a break-in, providing a level of protection passive systems can't match.

Yes, scOS is highly flexible and brand agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from manufacturers like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can integrate them into our AI ecosystem. During our professional installation process—which takes about 4-6 hours—our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup. By connecting your 'dumb' cameras to scOS, you gain access to our advanced MotionX detection, vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents without needing to replace all your hardware. This makes upgrading your Copplestone home to the latest AI security both efficient and cost-effective, transforming your existing cameras into a proactive defence network.

scOS deters criminals through three intelligent layers. First is Presence Simulation, which learns your daily habits to mimic human activity inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're in Exeter or away on holiday. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your boundary, even if the person is trying to hide their face or change their silhouette. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is confirmed, the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates bright lighting. These responses escalate if the intruder doesn't leave, making it clear that your property is actively defended by an intelligent system.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles the initial AI analysis locally on your property for maximum speed and privacy. Only when an escalation is needed is data sent to our secure cloud, allowing you to view your 24/7 recordings from anywhere. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data. You retain full ownership and control of your footage, ensuring that your home security doesn't come at the cost of your personal privacy.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it shows you who is at the door but does little to stop a determined criminal. scOS is a full-property intelligence system. It monitors your entire boundary, not just the front door, and uses AI to detect threats long before they reach your entrance. While a doorbell might send you a notification that someone is stealing a parcel, scOS proactively deters that person using voice warnings and light responses. It’s a comprehensive security solution that stops crime before it happens, rather than just recording it for you to watch later.

Copplestone's position on the A377 means a high volume of traffic passes through the village daily. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically checks the registration plates of vehicles entering your property against the national database. This allows the system to identify cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. By monitoring the 'normal' traffic patterns of your driveway, scOS can alert you to anomalies, such as a vehicle idling outside your home or a known suspicious car returning multiple times, providing an extra layer of security for homes on busy commuter routes.

Many residents in Copplestone commute to Exeter or Crediton, leaving homes empty during the day. scOS is perfect for commuters because of its 'Presence Simulation' feature. Unlike a simple timer that turns a light on at 6 PM, our AI learns your actual behaviour—when you move between rooms, which lights you use, and even your TV habits. It then simulates these patterns while you're away, making your home look genuinely lived-in. Combined with 24/7 remote access to your cameras via our app, you can check on your home from the office with total confidence.

MotionX is specifically designed to eliminate the false alarms that plague traditional motion sensors. In a village setting like Copplestone, where pets, wildlife, and swaying vegetation are common, traditional cameras often trigger constant, annoying notifications. MotionX uses advanced AI to ignore these 'unimportant' movements. It focuses only on human activity and vehicle movement. It can even recognise a person if they are crawling, wearing a mask, or carrying a large object. This means when your phone pings, you know it’s something that actually requires your attention, not just a cat in the garden.
