Traditional CCTV is a passive system; it simply records footage for you to look at after something has gone wrong. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. The core of this is our MotionX technology. Unlike standard motion detection that triggers for every cat, bird, or swaying branch, MotionX identifies only 'important activity.' It automatically understands your property boundaries and recognises human movement, even if someone is trying to hide their shape. This means zero false alarms. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it intervenes. It uses automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they've been spotted, often deterring them before they even reach your house.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and can work with most professional wired IP cameras. If you already have cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, we can likely integrate them into the scOS system. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will connect your existing cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub handles the AI processing locally before securely communicating with our UK cloud. We prefer wired connections because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed like Wi-Fi cameras. We will assess your current hardware during installation to ensure it can meet the high standards required for our proactive AI monitoring.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your Mabe Burnthouse home safe. The first layer is Presence Simulation. The system learns 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 human activity the moment someone enters your property, even if they are wearing a mask or hoodie. The third layer is Active Intervention. If the AI confirms a threat, it triggers instant external lighting and escalating voice warnings via external speakers. These aren't two-way audio clips; they are AI-driven warnings that inform the intruder they are being monitored. This immediate response is designed to make criminals feel exposed and flee before they can cause any damage.

Your data privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, with all our data centres and support teams located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant. Your data is processed using a 'Local + Cloud' model: the Intelligence Hub in your home handles the initial AI analysis, and only critical data is escalated to our secure UK cloud. We never sell your data to third parties; it belongs entirely to you. You have 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recorded footage through our secure app. This ensures your security system is fast, reliable, and respects your privacy, keeping your home's data under the protection of UK law.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. It tells you someone is there, but it rarely prevents a crime. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. It monitors your entire boundary, not just the entrance. While doorbells are often wireless and can be easily jammed or stolen, scOS uses a professional, wired installation for maximum reliability. Most importantly, scOS is proactive. A doorbell might alert you while someone is already at your door, but scOS uses MotionX and active intervention to stop them at the edge of your property. It doesn't just show you a video of a crime; it prevents the crime from happening in the first place.

Cornwall's coastal weather can be tough on electronics, but scOS is built to last. We use professional-grade, wired hardware that is designed to withstand the elements. More importantly, our MotionX AI is specifically tuned to ignore environmental factors like heavy rain, sea mist, or wind-blown debris. While traditional systems might trigger hundreds of false alarms during a Cornish storm, scOS remains focused only on 'important activity'—genuine human threats. This means you can trust your system to stay vigilant and accurate, no matter what the weather is doing outside your Mabe Burnthouse home.

Mabe Burnthouse is a peaceful village, and we want to keep it that way. scOS is designed to be a 'silent guardian.' It won't bother you or your neighbours with false alarms. Our MotionX technology is so precise that it can distinguish between a neighbour's cat and a human intruder. The voice deterrents only trigger when a genuine threat is detected within your property boundaries. This means you get the highest level of protection without the annoyance of a sensitive alarm system, allowing you to enjoy the quiet Cornish life with total peace of mind.

If you're away from home, scOS is your eyes and ears. You can use 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, to check in on your property from anywhere. Simply ask, 'Has anyone been to the house today?' or 'Show me any activity near the garage.' The system will instantly provide you with the relevant clips. Combined with our Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied, scOS provides the ultimate 'set and forget' security solution for when you're travelling or visiting family elsewhere in the UK.
