Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records footage for you to review after a crime has already happened. scOS is a proactive security partner that aims to prevent crime entirely. At the heart of our system is MotionX, a revolutionary detection technology that focuses on 'important activity' rather than just pixels moving. This means it ignores common false triggers like cats, wind-blown debris, or shadows, focusing exclusively on human threats. When scOS detects someone crossing your property boundary in St Blazey, it doesn't just record—it reacts. It can instantly turn on lights and deliver escalating voice warnings through external speakers to deter the intruder. By combining local processing with UK-based cloud intelligence, scOS provides a level of security that traditional 'dumb' cameras simply cannot match, acting as an autonomous guard for your home.

In most cases, yes. scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with the majority of wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If your St Blazey home already has a wired system, our professional UK installers can integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This hub breathes new life into your existing hardware, giving it the power of MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and scOS Director's conversational AI. During the 4-6 hour installation process, we will verify your camera compatibility and ensure everything is optimised for our proactive protection suite. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the need to replace all your existing cameras, making it a smart and sustainable choice for local homeowners.

scOS deters criminals through three distinct, intelligent layers. The first is Presence Simulation, which makes your St Blazey home look occupied even when you're out by mimicking internal activity patterns. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour with 100% accuracy, even if an intruder is wearing a mask or a hood. The third and most direct layer is Active Intervention. When a threat is detected on your property, the system triggers an escalating response: first, lights illuminate the area, and then external IoT speakers deliver clear voice warnings. This tells the intruder they have been spotted by an intelligent system, not just a passive camera. This immediate engagement is a powerful psychological deterrent that stops most criminals in their tracks before they even attempt to enter.

We take your privacy and data security very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, meaning all your data stays within the UK, stored in GDPR-compliant data centres. We never sell your personal information or footage to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub at your St Blazey property handles the initial detection and processing locally. Only when necessary is data escalated to our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis or remote access. You have full control over your recordings, with 24/7 access to up to two weeks of footage via our app. Your home's security data is your business, and we ensure it stays that way.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it's great for seeing who's at the door, but it's reactive and limited in scope. scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that monitors your entire property boundary. While a doorbell might alert you to a person on your porch, scOS will have already detected them the moment they stepped onto your driveway or moved toward a side window. Unlike doorbells that rely on Wi-Fi and can be easily jammed, scOS uses reliable wired connections. Most importantly, scOS actively intervenes to stop crime using lights and voice warnings, whereas a doorbell usually only offers a notification. For true peace of mind in St Blazey, you need a system that protects every corner of your home autonomously.

Located near the busy Eden Project corridor, St Blazey residents face unique challenges with increased traffic and unfamiliar faces near their properties. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which can identify the registration plates of vehicles on your driveway and check them against the DVLA database. This is an excellent way to spot suspicious vehicles or cloned plates that might be scouting the area. You can even ask scOS Director, 'What cars have been on the drive today?' to get an instant report, providing an extra layer of security for your vehicles.

scOS is designed to be a 'good neighbour.' Our AI is incredibly precise and automatically detects your property boundaries, so it won't trigger warnings for people walking past on the pavement or cars driving through the village. The voice deterrents are directed at the intruder on your property and are designed to be heard by them, not the whole street. This ensures your St Blazey home is protected without causing any disturbance to your neighbours.

Absolutely. For residents who travel or spend time away from St Blazey, our Presence Simulation is a game-changer. It doesn't just turn lights on and off on a timer; it learns and mimics real human activity patterns to make the home look truly lived-in. If someone does approach the property, the system's escalating voice and light responses will activate automatically. You’ll receive an alert on your phone, and you can even use scOS Director to ask natural language questions like 'Has anyone been near the back door today?' to get an instant update.
