Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime while it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a masked intruder after the damage is done. scOS transforms your security into a proactive guardian using our proprietary MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity' rather than just movement. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks or deal with constant false alarms from spiders and wind, MotionX works out of the box to recognise people regardless of how they are moving or what they are wearing. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard protecting your Landkey home 24/7.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing wired IP camera setup. Whether you have Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti cameras, our Intelligence Hub can often integrate with them to provide the advanced AI features that 'dumb' cameras lack. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By layering scOS over your existing cameras, you gain access to MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and our escalating response protocols without needing to replace every piece of hardware. This makes upgrading your home intelligence both cost-effective and efficient, ensuring your property is protected by the latest AI technology while utilising your previous investments.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage of an attempted break-in. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and simulate them while you’re away, making your house appear occupied to anyone scouting the area. If a prowler approaches, our MotionX technology takes over, instantly recognising the person even if they are wearing a mask or hood. This triggers the third layer: active intervention. The system automatically illuminates the area and delivers escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. Unlike simple motion lights, these responses are intelligent and persistent, signaling to the intruder that they have been detected by a sophisticated system that is actively monitoring their every move, usually causing them to flee immediately.

At scOS, we take your privacy as seriously as your security, which is why we are a 100% UK-based company with all data centres located right here in Britain. Your data is fully GDPR compliant, and we ensure that you maintain total control over your footage at all times; we never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles critical detection locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. You get 24/7 recording with up to two weeks of storage accessible from anywhere in the world, giving you peace of mind that your Landkey home is monitored by a system that respects your privacy and keeps your personal information within the UK.

While a video doorbell is a useful tool for seeing who is at your front door, it is fundamentally a reactive device that often only alerts you once someone is already on your threshold. scOS provides whole-property intelligence that monitors your entire boundary, not just the entrance. Our AI-driven system is designed to stop crime before it happens by detecting suspicious behaviour at the edge of your property and intervening before a criminal even reaches your door or windows. 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 stepping onto your driveway in the first place. It is a comprehensive security solution that offers professional-grade protection far beyond the limited scope of a consumer doorbell camera.

For Landkey residents who may use their property as a second home or travel frequently to enjoy the North Devon coast, scOS Presence Simulation is a game-changer. Our AI learns your typical patterns of light and appliance use and replicates them realistically when you're away. This makes your home look lived-in and active, which is the single most effective way to deter burglars who scout for empty properties. Unlike simple timers, scOS varies the patterns naturally, ensuring that your home never looks like an easy target while you're enjoying your time away.

Landkey is a safe village, but its proximity to Barnstaple and the North Devon Link Road means it isn't immune to opportunistic crime. scOS acts as a 24/7 digital sentry that never gets complacent. Our MotionX technology is designed to ignore the common 'false alarms' of village life—like a neighbour's cat or wind-blown trees—and only alert you to genuine human threats. This means you can enjoy the peace of Landkey knowing that if anything unusual does happen, your home will intelligently defend itself and keep you informed.

Absolutely. One of the standout features of scOS is the 'scOS Director,' a conversational AI. You can simply ask, 'Director, was there any activity in the garden while I was out?' or 'Did the postman come today?' and it will give you a clear, spoken or text summary. This eliminates the need to scroll through hours of footage and makes managing your home security as simple as having a conversation, giving you more time to enjoy the beautiful Devon countryside.
