Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with footage of a person in a mask. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands activity. It ignores the wind in the trees or a fox in the garden, focusing exclusively on important events like a person approaching your property. Instead of just watching, scOS intervenes. It uses AI to detect your property boundaries automatically and can trigger instant light and voice deterrents to stop an intruder before they even reach your door. There are no motion masks to draw and no false alarms to ignore—just intelligent, 24/7 monitoring that acts like a digital security guard for your home.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them from 'dumb' recording devices into an intelligent AI system. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Hub, we can apply our MotionX intelligence and proactive deterrents to your current hardware. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the need to replace every camera on your property, provided they meet the necessary technical standards for wired connectivity.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal lighting and activity patterns to make the house appear occupied even when you're away. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies 'important activity' the moment someone enters your property, even if they are trying to hide their face or move stealthily. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just alert you; it reacts. It can instantly illuminate the area and deliver escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response signals to the intruder that they have been spotted by a system that is actively watching them, 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 your video data and AI processing are handled by our UK data centres, and we are fully GDPR compliant. The system uses a hybrid approach: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for alerts or remote viewing. Your data belongs to you; we never sell it, and you have total control over who can access your footage. You get the benefit of high-end AI intelligence without compromising the privacy of your home or family.

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 comprehensive property intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses MotionX to detect threats long before they reach the door and employs active deterrents like voice warnings and presence simulation to prevent the crime from happening in the first place. Furthermore, scOS uses professional wired cameras which cannot be jammed like many wireless doorbell signals, ensuring your protection is constant and reliable regardless of your Wi-Fi strength.

In areas with higher crime rates like Redruth, a simple alarm isn't always enough. scOS uses an Escalating Response system. When a person first enters your property boundary, the system might simply turn on a light to acknowledge their presence. If they continue to approach or linger, the AI can trigger a firm voice warning through external IoT speakers. This progression shows the intruder that the system is not just a timer, but an intelligent observer that is tracking their every move, which is a highly effective way to deter anti-social behaviour and attempted theft.

scOS is built for reliability. We use professional-grade wired cameras and local processing via the scOS Intelligence Hub. This means that even if your internet connection in Redruth is interrupted, the system continues to monitor your property, process AI detections, and trigger local deterrents like lights and voice warnings. Your home remains protected 24/7, and once your connection is restored, all recorded footage and event data are synced to our secure UK cloud for your review.

scOS provides 24/7 recording with up to two weeks of footage stored and accessible from anywhere. Because our MotionX technology flags 'important activity,' you don't have to spend hours searching through empty footage. You can use the scOS Director to ask, 'Show me any activity near the back gate from last night,' and the system will instantly provide the relevant clips. This makes it easy to provide clear, high-quality evidence to Devon & Cornwall Police if an incident occurs on or near your property.
