Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive digital guard. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, the system doesn't just see movement—it understands it. It ignores the swaying trees or a cat crossing the lawn, focusing exclusively on 'important activity' like a person approaching your property. Because it understands the context of the movement, it can intervene automatically, triggering lights and voice warnings to stop an intruder before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a deterrent.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform most existing wired IP camera systems—including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink—into an intelligent AI powerhouse. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Intelligence Hub, we give your 'dumb' cameras the ability to detect property boundaries, recognise suspicious behaviour, and participate in our proactive deterrent ecosystem without needing a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's natural activity patterns and replicates them while you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies people even if they are crawling, disguised, or hiding their faces. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS triggers escalating responses. This starts with instant illumination and moves to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers, making it clear to any intruder that they have been spotted by an active intelligence system.

We take your privacy incredibly seriously. Unlike many security companies that store data on international servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and then securely backed up to our UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring your footage remains your property and is never sold or shared. You have 24/7 access to your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, allowing you to review activity from anywhere in the world with total peace of mind.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that usually only covers your front door; it tells you someone was there after the fact. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, detecting threats long before they reach your porch. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. With professional wired installation, scOS is also immune to the 'jamming' techniques that can easily disable wireless doorbells, providing a much higher level of professional-grade security.

St Eval's exposed position on the North Cornish coast means high winds and driving rain are common. Standard motion sensors often fail in these conditions, either giving constant false alarms or missing real threats. scOS uses MotionX, which is designed to ignore environmental movement like wind-blown debris or swaying bushes. It focuses solely on human activity, ensuring that even in a Cornish gale, your security remains reliable and accurate.

In a quiet village like St Eval, residents often worry about 'casing'—criminals scouting properties before a break-in. scOS features Covered Face Detection, which specifically flags individuals wearing balaclavas, hoods, or masks. If someone is acting suspiciously near your property while trying to hide their identity, scOS will immediately alert you and can be set to trigger a voice warning, letting the individual know they have been identified as a threat.

Yes. scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask, 'Director, was there any activity near the back gate while I was at work?' or 'Has the postman been yet?' It’s like having a digital security guard who has watched every second of your footage and can give you an instant, intelligent summary, saving you from scrolling through hours of video.
