Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records footage that you might look at after a crime has already been committed. In Grampound Road, where the quiet village atmosphere can be a target for opportunistic crime, you need a system that stays vigilant. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Unlike standard cameras that use basic motion detection—leading to endless false alarms from wind or animals—scOS uses MotionX technology. This AI-driven approach ignores irrelevant movement and focuses only on 'important activity,' such as a person crossing your property boundary. It doesn't require you to set up complex zones; it automatically understands your property lines. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action by activating lights and voice deterrents, stopping an intruder in their tracks before they can cause damage or gain entry.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can work with almost any existing wired IP camera system, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. If you already have cameras installed at your Grampound Road home, our Intelligence Hub can take over the feed and 'upgrade' them with our advanced AI. During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup. By integrating your existing hardware, we can provide the full suite of scOS features—like MotionX detection and presence simulation—without the need for a total hardware replacement. This makes scOS a highly efficient way to bring state-of-the-art AI security to your property while leveraging the investment you've already made.

scOS deters criminals through a multi-layered proactive strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic your family's internal activity patterns when you're away, making the house look lived-in and occupied. The second layer is our MotionX technology, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the very edge of your property. It can recognise a person even if they are wearing a mask or hood, or if they are trying to hide their silhouette. The final layer is Active Intervention. If the AI determines a person is a genuine threat, it triggers escalating responses: first, instant external lighting to remove the cover of darkness, followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response signals to the criminal that the home is actively monitored, usually causing them to flee before they even reach a door or window.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR regulations. Unlike many other security companies, we never sell your data to third parties. Your video and activity logs are processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for maximum speed and security, with only the necessary data escalated to our secure cloud for remote access. You have complete control over your data, with up to two weeks of 24/7 recording available for you to review at any time. By keeping our operations and data storage within the UK, we ensure that your private life remains private, protected by the most stringent data security laws in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door, often missing activity elsewhere on your property. In Grampound Road, where homes often have larger plots, outbuildings, or side access, a doorbell isn't enough. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell might tell you a package has been stolen, scOS prevents the theft from happening by detecting the intruder at the boundary. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and can be easily disabled by WiFi jammers. scOS uses professional wired connections that are immune to such interference. With advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and presence simulation, scOS offers a comprehensive security solution that far exceeds the limited capabilities of a simple doorbell camera.

Rural properties often have detached garages or sheds containing expensive tools and equipment. scOS's boundary detection is ideal for these layouts. Because the AI automatically detects your property lines, it can monitor the area around your outbuildings just as effectively as the main house. If someone approaches a shed at the bottom of the garden, the system will detect them, activate lights, and deliver a voice warning before they can even touch the lock. This proactive approach is essential for protecting the entirety of your Grampound Road property.

Cornwall's weather can be unpredictable, with heavy rain and sea mist. Standard motion sensors often fail or trigger constantly in these conditions. However, scOS's MotionX technology is built to handle the elements. It uses advanced AI to filter out environmental noise like driving rain or swirling mist, focusing specifically on the skeletal patterns and movement of humans and vehicles. This ensures that your home remains protected even in the worst Cornish weather, without the frustration of constant false alerts.

Devon & Cornwall Police are dedicated, but they cannot be everywhere at once, especially in more isolated rural areas. scOS acts as your first line of defence, providing the immediate intervention that a remote police force cannot. By using voice deterrents and instant lighting, scOS often stops a crime in progress, meaning you may never even need to call the police. If an incident does occur, scOS provides high-quality, 24/7 recorded evidence that is stored in the UK and is fully admissible, helping the police to identify and apprehend the individuals involved more effectively.
