Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune, but scOS is a proactive guardian. While standard systems rely on 'motion masks' that you have to manually draw—and which still result in endless false alarms from shadows or the wind—our MotionX technology understands 'important activity' out of the box. It ignores spiders, swaying trees, and animals, focusing solely on genuine threats. Instead of just filming a break-in, scOS intervenes the moment a boundary is breached, using AI to identify suspicious behaviour and deploying immediate deterrents like light and voice warnings to stop the crime before it starts.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can often transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence network. If you have wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink already installed around your St Columb Major property, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate them. During our professional UK-based installation, which typically takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering our AI over your existing cameras, you get all the benefits of proactive protection and MotionX detection without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided the cabling is sound.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away, the system simulates natural human activity inside your home to make it look occupied, which is the most effective way to stop a burglar from even choosing your house. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their face. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system triggers Active Intervention. This isn't just a silent alert; it’s an escalating response where external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings and lights illuminate the area, making it clear to the intruder that they are being watched and recorded.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Unlike many competitors who send footage to overseas servers, your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub before being securely escalated to our UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your footage and personal information remain your property and are never sold to third parties. You have total control over your data through the scOS app, and with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks, you can access your history from anywhere in the world, knowing it is protected by British privacy standards.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they’ve already pressed it or moved away. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that protects your entire perimeter. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your whole property boundary automatically. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell might capture a package thief in the act, scOS detects the approach, simulates presence to deter the attempt, and uses active voice warnings to drive the intruder away before they ever reach your front door.

St Columb Major's proximity to the A30 and A39 makes it a convenient target for criminals who use these major routes to move quickly between towns. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs every vehicle that enters your property boundary and checks its registration against the national database. This allows the system to flag suspicious or cloned plates instantly. By having this high-level intelligence at your fingertips, you aren't just protecting your home; you're collecting the vital data that helps police track and stop professional criminals using the Cornish road network.

In rural Cornwall, burglars often try to hide their identity using hoods, masks, or balaclavas. scOS is specifically trained to detect these suspicious behaviours. Our 'Covered Face Detection' flags anyone approaching your property with their face concealed, even if they are trying to stay in the shadows. Unlike standard cameras that might just record a blurry figure, scOS recognises the intent and can immediately trigger an escalating response, such as turning on floodlights and issuing a voice warning, making it clear that their attempt to remain anonymous has failed.

scOS is designed to be 'Wired Over Wireless.' While many modern DIY systems rely on WiFi, these can be easily 'jammed' by criminals using inexpensive devices. By using professional wired installations, scOS ensures that your security system remains online and functional at all times. This is particularly important in rural areas like St Columb Major, where a reliable, unjammable connection is the foundation of a truly secure home. Our professional UK-based team handles the entire installation, ensuring all cables are discreetly and securely run.
