Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is proactive, using our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' rather than just movement. While standard systems trigger false alarms for spiders or wind, MotionX ignores the noise and focuses on genuine threats, such as someone loitering near your property. Because scOS understands your property boundaries automatically, it can intervene the moment a line is crossed, rather than just filming the aftermath.

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 into an AI-powered security network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it meets the technical requirements for scOS integration. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI intelligence without the cost of replacing every camera on your Teignbridge property.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour regardless of whether an intruder is wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination from external lights and authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they have been spotted.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information stay yours. We never sell your data, and you maintain total control over who can access your system through our secure app.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it. scOS monitors your entire property boundary, detecting threats before they reach your entrance. While a doorbell is a reactive tool for deliveries, scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. It provides 24/7 recording and sophisticated AI analysis that a battery-powered doorbell simply cannot match.

In Rural Teignbridge, properties are often isolated, meaning an intruder can work undisturbed for long periods. scOS solves this by providing an immediate, local response. The moment someone crosses your boundary, the system can trigger external lights and voice warnings. This 'active' intervention is designed to make the intruder believe they have been spotted by a person, causing them to flee before they can cause damage or gain entry.

If you have a second home or holiday let in Teignbridge, scOS is the perfect 'digital caretaker.' You can use the scOS Director to ask for updates on your property from anywhere in the world. The system's Presence Simulation will also make the property look occupied during the weeks it's empty, significantly reducing the risk of it being targeted by burglars who look for signs of vacancy.

Standard motion sensors are a nightmare in rural areas due to livestock, pets, and wildlife. scOS uses MotionX, which is trained to ignore animals and focus only on 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour and vehicle movement. This means you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a badger or a stray sheep, but you will be alerted the moment a person steps onto your land.
