Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records footage for later review. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that actively works to prevent crime. The core of our system is MotionX, which uses advanced AI to detect 'important activity' rather than just simple motion. This means it ignores animals, wind, and shadows, focusing only on human threats. Unlike traditional systems that require manual 'zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, scOS intervenes with escalating light and voice responses to deter the intruder before they can cause any harm.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. Our professional UK-based installation team can usually integrate your existing cameras into the scOS Intelligence Hub in a single day. This transforms your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network capable of person recognition, covered face detection, and proactive deterrents. It’s a great way to upgrade your security without the expense of replacing all your existing hardware.

scOS uses a three-tiered deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied when you're away by mimicking your natural lighting patterns. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious activity at your boundary with zero false alarms. Third, if an intruder is detected, the system triggers an escalating response: automatic lights followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent intervention is designed to make intruders flee before they even attempt to enter your home.

Your data security is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK, ensuring full GDPR compliance. We use a hybrid processing model where your Intelligence Hub handles the initial AI analysis locally. Significant events are then sent to our secure UK cloud for storage and remote access. Your data is never sold to third parties, and you have 24/7 access to your recordings, which are stored for up to 14 days.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers your front door. It tells you someone is there, but it doesn't stop them. scOS is a property-wide intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary. It uses AI to identify and deter threats before they ever reach your door. Unlike doorbells, which are often wireless and can be jammed, scOS uses secure wired connections. scOS provides proactive protection, stopping crime through voice and light deterrents rather than just recording it.

Moretonhampstead is a popular destination for Dartmoor visitors, which means a lot of unfamiliar vehicles and people. scOS features Person Recognition and DVLA Vehicle Recognition, allowing it to distinguish between your family, regular visitors, and strangers. The system can alert you to unrecognised vehicles lingering near your property, providing an extra layer of security in a busy tourist area.

Dartmoor weather can be unpredictable, with heavy rain and fog. Traditional motion detection often fails in these conditions, but our MotionX technology is designed to ignore environmental factors. It focuses on human-shaped activity and movement patterns, ensuring that you only get alerted when there is a genuine threat, regardless of the weather.

Many homes in Moretonhampstead are older, stone-built properties. Our professional UK installation team is experienced in working with these types of buildings. We use high-quality, wired connections for maximum reliability and can discreetly install the system to maintain the aesthetic of your home while providing state-of-the-art AI protection.
