Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records footage for you to review after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' as it happens. Unlike standard systems that trigger false alarms for every passing animal or moving shadow, MotionX focuses exclusively on genuine human threats. scOS doesn't require you to set up complex motion masks; it automatically understands your property boundaries from day one. When a threat is detected, the system doesn't just watch—it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents to stop the crime before it happens. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and can be integrated with most existing wired IP camera systems, such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. Our Intelligence Hub is designed to transform your 'dumb' cameras into a smart, proactive security network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure it's compatible with our AI features. By using your existing cameras, you can gain access to advanced features like presence simulation and DVLA vehicle recognition without needing a complete hardware overhaul. We always recommend wired systems over wireless to ensure your security is robust and immune to signal jamming.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to protect your home. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making it look like someone is always home. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious activity the moment someone enters your property, even if they are trying to hide their face. This triggers the third layer: Active Intervention. Your home will respond with escalating light sequences and clear voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach removes the criminal's advantage of surprise and signals that your home is professionally protected, usually causing them to flee before they even attempt a break-in.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. Unlike other brands that may send your footage abroad, we ensure your data stays within the UK and is fully GDPR compliant. Your Intelligence Hub processes most information locally for speed and privacy, only using the cloud for storage and remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have complete control over your 24/7 recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app from anywhere in the world. Your home's security data is your business, and we keep it that way.

A video doorbell is a useful tool for seeing who's at the front door, but it's not a complete security system. It only covers a small area and is often reactive—alerting you only after someone has already reached your door. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire perimeter and identifying threats before they get close to your home. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS works to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your property through proactive light and voice deterrents. With professional wired installation and advanced AI that can recognise family members and suspicious behaviour, scOS offers a much higher level of protection than any consumer-grade doorbell.

We understand that Hugh Town is a unique location, and getting professional services to the Isles of Scilly can be a challenge. scOS offers professional UK installation, and we are happy to discuss the logistics of bringing our expert engineers to St Mary's. Our team will handle everything from mounting the cameras to setting up the Intelligence Hub, ensuring your system is fully operational in a single day. We use high-quality, durable hardware that is built to withstand the coastal environment, providing you with a reliable security solution that is tailored to your island home.

The coastal environment in Hugh Town can be tough on electronic equipment due to the salt air and moisture. scOS uses professional-grade, wired hardware that is specifically designed for durability in harsh conditions. Our cameras and IoT speakers are weather-sealed to prevent corrosion and ensure long-lasting performance. Unlike wireless systems that can be prone to signal issues in coastal areas, our wired installations provide a stable and secure connection 24/7. You can trust that your scOS system will continue to protect your home, even in the face of the Atlantic weather.

Hugh Town is a popular destination for tourists, especially during the summer months. scOS uses advanced Activity Pattern Recognition to learn the difference between normal tourist activity and suspicious behaviour. Our MotionX technology is specifically tuned to ignore 'noise' like passing crowds or seagulls, focusing only on human activity that matters on your property. This means you won't be bothered by constant alerts from visitors, but you will be immediately notified if someone shows an unusual interest in your home, providing the perfect balance of security and peace of mind.
