Traditional CCTV is passive—it only records after a crime happens. scOS is active. Our AI continuously monitors your cameras through the Intelligence Hub, detecting suspicious behaviour the moment it occurs. When a threat is identified, scOS doesn't just alert you; it takes action. MotionX technology enables dynamic responses like triggering lights, activating speaker audio, or alerting emergency services. Your traditional system records evidence; scOS prevents crime before it starts.

Yes. scOS works with most wired IP cameras already in your home. Our Intelligence Hub connects to your existing camera network and applies AI monitoring without requiring a complete system overhaul. If you need additional cameras or have older models, we can recommend compatible options during professional installation. Our team will assess your current setup and integrate scOS seamlessly.

scOS uses three powerful deterrence layers. First, Presence Simulation creates the appearance of occupancy even when you're away—lights activate, sounds play, creating an impression someone is home. Second, MotionX provides immediate visible response when motion is detected: lights flash, sirens sound, audio warnings play. Criminals see their presence has triggered immediate action and move on. Third, active intervention means scOS can coordinate real-time response with emergency services, making your home a high-risk target not worth the effort.

All your data is processed and stored in UK data centres, giving you complete peace of mind regarding privacy and data protection. We're fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information are protected under the strictest EU data regulations. You control access to your footage at all times, and data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. Your security is built on trust.

A video doorbell shows you who's at your door—useful for answering the door remotely. scOS protects your entire home with active AI defence. While a doorbell is reactive (you see someone, then decide what to do), scOS is proactive. It monitors all camera angles simultaneously, detects threats before they reach your door, and responds automatically. You get the doorbell's convenience plus comprehensive security the doorbell can never provide. scOS doesn't just show intruders—it stops them.

We won't mislead you: scOS requires internet for its AI intelligence features to work. However, your cameras will continue to record locally on the Intelligence Hub, ensuring you don't lose footage. Once your connection is restored, AI monitoring and response features resume immediately. For homes in areas with unreliable connectivity, we recommend discussing backup solutions during installation. Most Plymouth homes have reliable broadband, but this is an important consideration for your setup.

scOS detects and responds to threats in seconds. When suspicious behaviour is detected, the Intelligence Hub triggers immediate responses—lights activate, audio warnings sound, emergency services can be contacted—all without waiting for you to see an alert. This speed is critical; criminals make split-second decisions, and scOS's instant response is often enough to stop them before they commit a crime.

We offer two options: professional installation by our team, or self-setup for tech-confident users. Professional installation ensures your system is optimally positioned, properly integrated with your existing cameras, and fully configured for your home's specific needs. Our installers also provide hands-on training. For those comfortable with technology, self-setup is straightforward with our guided process and support team available if needed.

The Intelligence Hub is a compact device installed at your property—typically in a safe location like a utility room or loft. It connects to your IP cameras and your home broadband, powering all AI processing locally. It runs our threat detection algorithms, manages deterrence responses, and coordinates with emergency services when needed. The Hub requires minimal maintenance and works silently in the background, 24/7.

Yes. scOS is an excellent solution for landlords managing properties in Plymouth. Professional installation ensures your cameras are properly positioned to cover common areas and entrances, protecting both your investment and tenants' safety.
