Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is an active participant in your home's security. Our proprietary MotionX technology is the core differentiator, moving beyond simple motion detection to 'important activity' recognition. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX works out of the box. It ignores environmental noise and focuses exclusively on human and vehicle behaviour. When a potential threat is identified, scOS doesn't just send a notification; it initiates a proactive response, using external IoT speakers and lighting to deter the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform most existing 'dumb' wired IP camera systems into an intelligent AI network. Whether you have Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti hardware, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with them. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. By layering our AI over your existing cameras, you gain all the benefits of MotionX detection, presence simulation, and proactive voice deterrents without needing to replace your entire hardware suite. This makes upgrading to scOS a cost-effective way to bring state-of-the-art AI protection to your Foxhole property.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which learns your household's normal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away—simulating internal lighting and activity to make the home appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the property boundary. It recognises people even if they are hooded or attempting to hide their figure. Finally, if an intruder persists, the system triggers Active Intervention. This isn't just a siren; it's an escalating response where external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings and lights illuminate the area. By catching and challenging intruders at the boundary, we stop the crime before it ever moves from the garden to the house.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands that route data through international servers, 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: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles critical AI tasks locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for remote access or advanced analysis. Most importantly, your data belongs to you. We never sell your footage or personal information to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS is a proactive, whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, including side gates and rear gardens. More importantly, doorbells rarely deter a determined criminal—they just record them. scOS actively intervenes using voice deterrents and light responses to turn criminals away before they even reach your entry points. Furthermore, scOS uses wired connections rather than Wi-Fi, meaning it cannot be defeated by the signal jammers increasingly used by modern burglars in Cornwall.

Foxhole is a close-knit community in the heart of the clay country, and while crime is below the national average, Devon & Cornwall Police often highlight that rural isolation can make properties vulnerable to targeted theft. scOS helps by providing a 'digital neighbour' that never sleeps. Our system uses AI to learn the normal patterns of your home and alerts you to anything out of the ordinary. By having a system that actively deters intruders with voice and light, you ensure that your home is never seen as an easy target, regardless of how quiet the street might be.

Yes, scOS is highly effective at identifying suspicious concealment. Our AI is trained to flag 'Covered Face Detection,' which includes hoods, balaclavas, and masks. In a village like Foxhole, where such attire is unusual, the system can immediately escalate its response. Instead of just recording a hooded figure, scOS can trigger an immediate voice warning from an external IoT speaker, letting the individual know they have been detected and their presence is being logged. This immediate psychological pressure is often enough to make an intruder flee before they attempt to enter the property.

Absolutely. Many properties in Cornwall have thick walls or unique layouts that make wireless security unreliable. Our professional UK installation team specialises in wired setups that provide a rock-solid connection. We use high-quality cabling that is neatly and discreetly installed, ensuring your system is both aesthetically pleasing and functionally superior. A wired system is also immune to the Wi-Fi jamming techniques that are becoming more common in modern burglaries, providing you with 24/7 reliability.
