Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime as it happens, often leaving you with nothing but footage of a masked intruder. scOS is a proactive guardian. Our system uses MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means it ignores swaying trees, spiders, or wind, focusing entirely on genuine threats. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS works out of the box, automatically detecting your property boundaries. It doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light and voice responses to stop an incident before your home is even touched.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your 'dumb' cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we transform them into a proactive AI security system. This allows you to upgrade your home's intelligence without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided your existing cameras are wired, as we prefer wired connections over jam-prone wireless setups.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it appear occupied even when you're away exploring Marazion or St Michael's Mount. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they are moving or if they are attempting to conceal their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries, scOS triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to AI-generated voice warnings from external IoT speakers, designed to convince any intruder that they have been spotted by a live guard.

Your privacy is a cornerstone of our service. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Most of the intelligence is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub, only escalating to our secure cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell it to third parties. You have 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings from anywhere in the world, ensuring you are always in control of your Goldsithney property's security.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door—often when it's too late. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS uses proactive deterrents like presence simulation and voice warnings to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. It provides whole-property protection rather than just a narrow view of your front step, stopping crime before it happens rather than just recording it.

scOS is perfect for second homes or holiday lets in Cornwall. Our Presence Simulation feature is a game-changer, as it makes the property look lived-in by simulating normal human activity patterns inside, even when it's vacant for weeks. You can monitor the property from anywhere in the world via our app, and the scOS Director conversational AI allows you to ask natural questions like 'Has anyone been to the house today?' or 'Is the driveway clear?', giving you total peace of mind from afar.

We understand that the Cornish coast can be harsh. During our professional installation, we ensure that all external components, including our IoT speakers and any new cameras, are rated for outdoor use. We also recommend wired connections (PoE) over wireless, as they are far more reliable in coastal environments where thick stone walls and weather can interfere with WiFi signals. Our UK-based support team is always on hand if the Atlantic weather ever causes an issue with your setup.

Devon & Cornwall Police cover a vast area, and response times in rural villages can vary. scOS provides an immediate, autonomous response that doesn't rely on a police dispatcher. By using escalating voice warnings and lights, the system is designed to scare off intruders the moment they cross your boundary. This proactive intervention is often enough to prevent a crime entirely, ensuring your home is protected even before you've had a chance to check your phone.
