Every time you leave home, there's that nagging worry. Did I lock up properly? Is someone watching the house? You shouldn't have to feel anxious about your own home.
Something happened in the garden last night. Now you're scrubbing through 8 hours of footage trying to find 30 seconds of activity. Life's too short for this.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Porthleven
Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records crime as it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a masked intruder after the damage is done. scOS transforms your security into a proactive guardian using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that trigger on every swaying branch or passing fox, MotionX ignores 'noise' and focuses exclusively on important activity, such as a person approaching your property. It requires no manual 'tripwires' or 'zones' because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't watch; it intervenes with escalating responses to stop the intruder before they reach your door.
Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have a wired IP camera system (such as Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, or Axis), our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with it, upgrading 'dumb' cameras into an AI-powered security network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure compatibility. By leveraging your existing cameras, you can gain world-class AI protection without the cost of a full hardware replacement, though we can also provide high-specification cameras if needed.
scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal touches your property. First, our 'Presence Simulation' makes your home appear occupied by mimicking natural human activity patterns inside, such as lights turning on and off in a realistic sequence. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour—even if the person is wearing a mask or hood—and tracks them across your property boundaries. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers an active intervention: instant external illumination and authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to convince any intruder that the home is occupied and they have been spotted.
Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Unlike many competitors who ship data to overseas servers, your video and data are processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You retain total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that your home security should never come at the cost of your personal privacy.
A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already rung it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that protects your entire perimeter. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your driveway, gardens, and side access points simultaneously. More importantly, scOS is designed to prevent crime rather than just record it. By using AI to detect threats at the boundary and deploying active deterrents like voice warnings and presence simulation, we stop criminals before they ever get close enough to ring your doorbell.
Porthleven has many properties that are used as second homes or holiday lets, which can be empty for long periods, especially in winter. This makes them prime targets for burglars. scOS is the perfect solution for this. Our 'Presence Simulation' makes your home look occupied even when you're hundreds of miles away, and our AI boundary detection ensures that any suspicious activity is met with an immediate deterrent. You can monitor your property from anywhere in the world via our secure app, giving you total peace of mind.
Yes. Porthleven's coastal environment can be harsh, with high winds and sea spray. Our MotionX AI is designed to ignore these environmental factors, focusing only on 'important activity' like human movement. This means you won't get false alarms from the wind or rain, but you will be alerted the second someone steps onto your property. Our professional installers also ensure that all hardware is fitted to withstand the coastal conditions.
scOS Director is our conversational AI that lets you check on your property by asking simple questions. For a Porthleven resident, you might ask, 'Has the gardener been today?' or 'Was there any activity near the harbour-side windows last night?' The AI will scan your footage and give you an instant, intelligent answer, saving you from having to manually review hours of video. It’s like having a digital caretaker for your home.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
