Traditional CCTV in Lanner is typically passive, recording footage that you only see after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' in real-time. It doesn't require you to set up complex motion zones; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS intervenes with automatic lighting and voice warnings from external speakers. This means the system is actively working to prevent a crime from happening, rather than just providing evidence for the Devon & Cornwall Police after the fact.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have cameras installed at your Lanner property, we can often integrate them with our Intelligence Hub to give them AI capabilities. During our professional installation process, which takes about 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup. We always recommend wired connections over wireless to ensure your system is resilient against jamming and provides 24/7 reliability.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your usual internal activity patterns while you're away. Second, our MotionX AI identifies people even if they are trying to hide their face or change their silhouette. Third, if someone crosses your boundary, the system triggers an escalating response: instant lighting followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach is designed to stop intruders at the perimeter, ensuring they never get close enough to attempt a break-in.

Your data privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many other providers, we never sell your data. The Intelligence Hub on your property processes most of the AI locally, only using the cloud for secure storage and escalation. 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 at any time.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often reactive—it tells you someone is there once they've already arrived. In a village like Lanner, you need to protect your entire property, including side entrances and outbuildings. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary. It doesn't just notify you; it actively works to deter intruders using voice warnings and automated lighting the moment they step onto your land, stopping crime before it reaches your front door.

Lanner is a peaceful village, but its rural location can make properties feel isolated. scOS is designed to bridge that gap by providing a 'digital guard' for your home. Our system can monitor outbuildings, garages, and large gardens just as effectively as the main house. With features like scOS Director, you can ask, 'Is everything secure in the back garden?' and get an instant AI-generated update, giving you peace of mind even when the village is at its quietest.

Rural areas often have more wildlife and moving vegetation, which can cause traditional CCTV to send constant false alarms. scOS uses MotionX, an AI specifically designed to ignore animals, wind, and swaying trees. It focuses exclusively on human activity and suspicious patterns. This means you won't be bothered by alerts every time a fox crosses your garden or the wind picks up, ensuring that when you do get a notification, it's something that actually requires your attention.

Yes, scOS is perfect for protecting your vehicles. It includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies the registration plates of any car entering your property. If an unrecognised or suspicious vehicle is detected, the system can alert you immediately and even initiate a voice warning. This is a powerful deterrent against opportunistic thieves who may be scouting the area, ensuring your cars are protected by the same high-level AI as your home.
