Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records events; it’s a 'post-event' tool. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime before it occurs. Using our MotionX technology, scOS identifies 'important activity'—meaning it ignores the Cornish wind, swaying trees, and local wildlife—to focus only on genuine threats. Unlike standard systems that require manual zone setup, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with automatic lighting and AI-driven voice warnings from external IoT speakers, deterring intruders at the perimeter of your Four Lanes home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have a camera system at your Four Lanes property, we can usually integrate it with our scOS Intelligence Hub. This transforms your existing hardware into a proactive AI-powered network. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure it’s optimised for our AI features like vehicle recognition and presence simulation, allowing you to upgrade your security without starting from scratch.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: when you’re away from Four Lanes, the system mimics your internal home activity patterns to make the house look occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious individuals the moment they cross your boundary, regardless of how they are dressed. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder persists, the system triggers escalating responses, including instant lighting and clear AI voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This multi-stage approach is designed to stop an intruder at the boundary, long before they reach your door.

Privacy is central to scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many smart home brands, we never sell your data to third parties. Your Intelligence Hub processes video locally for immediate AI response, and only critical events are escalated to our secure cloud. You have 24/7 access to your recordings (up to two weeks of history) via our encrypted app, ensuring your Four Lanes home remains private and your data stays yours.

A video doorbell is a basic tool that only monitors your front door; scOS is a professional intelligence system that secures your entire property. Doorbells are often reactive and can be easily bypassed or jammed. scOS uses a wired network for total reliability and monitors every side of your home. With advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition to spot suspicious cars and MotionX to detect intruders in your garden or driveway, scOS provides a level of security that a doorbell simply cannot match. It stops the crime before it happens.

Four Lanes can experience some harsh Cornish weather, but scOS is built for it. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore environmental factors like heavy rain, wind-blown debris, and swaying trees. Unlike traditional motion sensors that might trigger every time a gale blows through, MotionX only alerts you to 'important activity'—specifically human movement and suspicious vehicle patterns. This means you won't be bothered by false alarms during a storm, but you’ll know the moment a real threat appears.

Yes. scOS includes integrated DVLA Vehicle Recognition. The system automatically scans the registration plates of vehicles approaching your Four Lanes property and checks them against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unrecognised registration lingers near your boundary, scOS can alert you immediately and even trigger a voice deterrent. This is an essential feature for rural properties where suspicious vehicles might be scouting the area before an attempted theft.

The scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Director, was there anyone on the driveway last night?' or 'Did the postman come today?' The AI understands the context of your property and provides instant, accurate answers. It’s like having a security guard who has watched every second of footage for you, ready to report back on exactly what you need to know.
