Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web or gust of wind, our MotionX technology ignores the noise and focuses only on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of their shape or if they are trying to hide. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it acts. Using automatic property boundary detection, it identifies threats the moment they step onto your land and can trigger instant light responses or AI voice warnings from external speakers to deter the intruder before they ever reach your door.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video locally before escalating critical data to our UK cloud, giving your old cameras the power of MotionX detection, vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents without needing a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal patterns and simulates human activity inside (like light movements) to make the house look occupied when you're away. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces immediately, even if the intruder is wearing a mask or balaclava. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected within your auto-detected boundaries, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and can progress to clear, authoritative AI voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. Unlike a standard alarm, scOS makes the criminal feel 'seen' and monitored, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many security companies that ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All video processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub. When an event requires AI analysis, it is sent to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. Your data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, and it is never sold to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible anywhere via our secure app. Because we are a UK company, our support and data infrastructure are governed by the strictest privacy laws in the world, ensuring your home stays private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary. It uses DVLA-linked vehicle recognition to spot suspicious cars and MotionX to identify people lurking in 'blind spots' where doorbells can't see. Furthermore, doorbells rarely offer proactive deterrents. scOS stops the crime from happening by intervening at the perimeter with lights and voice warnings, rather than just giving you a video of the person who just broke in.

Mount Hawke is a popular location for second homes and holiday lets, which can be vulnerable when left empty for long periods. scOS is the ideal solution for remote owners. Our Presence Simulation makes the home appear occupied by mimicking real human activity, while the app allows you to check in from anywhere in the world. If an anomaly is detected, such as a person on the property or a vehicle loitering, you'll receive an instant notification, allowing you to act before any damage is done.

Cornwall’s coastal weather can be harsh, but scOS is built to last. We use professional-grade, wired IP cameras that are far more robust than consumer-level wireless options. Because the system is wired, it isn't affected by the signal drops or interference that can plague wireless systems in rural areas. Our UK-based installation team ensures that all components are professionally fitted to withstand the elements, providing reliable, 24/7 protection for your Cornish home.

Yes. Mount Hawke’s rural setting means you likely have plenty of local wildlife and moving vegetation. Traditional motion sensors would be constantly triggering, but scOS uses MotionX technology. This AI is trained to ignore animals, birds, and wind-blown trees, focusing only on 'important activity' like human presence or vehicle movement. This ensures that you only get alerted when there is a genuine security concern, giving you peace of mind without the annoyance of false alarms.
