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.
Your phone buzzes constantly. A cat. Cobwebs. Headlights. After a while you stop checking, which defeats the entire point of having cameras.
Not motion. Not shadows. scOS detects the kind of activity a trained security guard would notice. When your phone buzzes, it matters.
Family, friends, the builder—scOS learns who belongs. No repetitive alerts for familiar faces. Only strangers trigger attention.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Shaldon
Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' in real-time. Unlike standard systems that rely on 'motion masks'—which are often triggered by wind or shadows—MotionX ignores the noise and focuses only on people and vehicles. It automatically detects your property boundaries without manual setup. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder before they reach your home.
Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with almost all wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. Our professional UK installation team will integrate your existing cameras with the scOS Intelligence Hub, instantly upgrading them with advanced AI. This means you can keep your existing hardware while gaining features like person recognition, presence simulation, and proactive deterrents. It’s a cost-effective way to bring world-class AI security to your Shaldon home.
scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside when you're away—perfect for Shaldon's second homes. Second, MotionX AI monitors your boundaries, identifying people even if they try to hide their faces. Third, if an intruder persists, the system triggers an escalating response: instant smart lighting followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This combination is designed to make criminals move on immediately, feeling watched and exposed.
Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Your footage is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub for maximum speed and privacy, with only essential data escalated to our secure cloud for remote access and advanced AI analysis. You retain full ownership and control of your data, and we never sell it to third parties.
A video doorbell is a narrow-focus, reactive device that only tells you someone is at your front door. scOS provides comprehensive, 360-degree property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary—including driveways and side entrances—and uses proactive intervention to stop crime before it starts. For homes in Shaldon, where properties often have unique layouts or are left vacant for periods, scOS offers a level of protection that a simple doorbell camera cannot match.
scOS is ideal for second homes or holiday lets. Our Presence Simulation feature makes the property look lived-in even when it's empty, which is a major deterrent for burglars. You can also use 'scOS Director' to ask natural questions like 'Has anyone been to the property this week?' from anywhere in the world. This gives you total peace of mind and remote control over your Shaldon home's security, no matter where you are.
We understand the challenges of coastal environments. Our professional UK installers use high-quality, weather-resistant components and ensure all wiring is properly protected from salt air and moisture. Because scOS uses wired connections rather than wireless, the system is more robust and less susceptible to the interference or signal degradation that can sometimes affect wireless systems in coastal areas.
MotionX is specifically designed to ignore the 'noise' of coastal life. Traditional motion detection is often triggered by seagulls, swaying trees, or wind-blown debris. MotionX ignores all of this, focusing exclusively on 'important activity'—specifically human and vehicle movement. This means you won't be bothered by false alarms caused by the Devon weather or local wildlife, but you will be alerted the second a real threat is detected.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
