Traditional CCTV systems in Penparc are often just "digital witnesses" that record a crime after it has happened. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that aims to stop crime before it starts. It uses MotionX, our advanced activity detection technology that eliminates false alarms from animals, wind, or shadows. Unlike standard cameras, scOS doesn't need you to set up complex motion zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, scOS intervenes with automatic lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach ensures that you aren't just watching a burglary on your phone, but actively preventing it.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing cameras. We can often integrate them into the scOS Intelligence Hub, instantly upgrading them with AI features like MotionX detection and DVLA vehicle recognition. We prefer wired systems over wireless ones because they are more secure and cannot be jammed. By using your existing cameras, we can provide a massive intelligence boost to your Penparc property's security without the need for a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a three-layered deterrence strategy. First is Presence Simulation, where the AI learns your home's patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the house look occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which accurately identifies human threats, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is confirmed, the system automatically turns on lights and uses external IoT speakers to issue voice warnings. This escalating response is designed to let an intruder know they have been spotted and that the property is being actively monitored, which usually causes them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is 100% UK-based, with all our data centres, support, and operations located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data is never sold to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid model: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced tasks or remote access. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app, ensuring your Penparc home's data stays in your hands.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often reactive, alerting you only when someone is already there. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. It uses AI to monitor your entire property boundary, including driveways and gardens. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS uses MotionX to detect the intruder the moment they step onto your land and uses proactive deterrents like lights and voice warnings to stop them. scOS protects your entire home, not just the front door, and is designed to prevent crime rather than just record it.

In rural areas like Penparc, theft of farm equipment and tools from outbuildings is a common concern. scOS features Automatic Property Boundary Detection, which means the AI understands where your land ends. If someone enters your garden or approaches a shed, the system recognises this as a breach and can trigger an immediate response, such as turning on lights or issuing a voice deterrent. This ensures that your outbuildings are as well-protected as your main home.

Penparc’s rural location can mean longer police response times. scOS is designed to be a self-sufficient security solution. By using proactive deterrents like lights and voice warnings, the system often stops an intruder before they can even attempt a break-in. This immediate intervention is crucial in areas where help may not arrive instantly, providing you with a digital security guard that is always on duty and ready to defend your property.

Yes, scOS is designed to work reliably in rural environments. Our MotionX technology is specifically trained to ignore common rural "false alarms" like livestock, wildlife, and swaying trees. It focuses only on "important activity"—human threats. Because the system uses wired connections and local processing via the Intelligence Hub, it remains functional even if your internet connection is unstable, ensuring that your Penparc home is always protected.
