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 Neot is known for its beautiful dark skies, and we respect that. scOS uses 'Smart Light Response,' which means floodlights are only activated when a genuine threat is detected on your property. We don't use 'always-on' security lights that cause light pollution. Instead, the sudden, targeted illumination acts as a powerful psychological deterrent to an intruder, while keeping the village dark and peaceful the rest of the time.

For rural properties on the edge of Bodmin Moor, outbuildings like stables or workshops are often the primary target for thieves. scOS is perfect for protecting these areas. Our AI can monitor multiple zones across your property, and because it uses wired connections, it remains reliable even at a distance from your main house. If someone tries to enter an outbuilding, the system will trigger the same escalating voice and light deterrents used for your home.

scOS is designed to be incredibly low-maintenance. Because our MotionX AI filters out false alarms from spiders, cobwebs, and weather, you won't be constantly cleaning lenses or checking 'ghost' alerts. The system updates its own software automatically from our UK servers, and our professional installation ensures that all hardware is securely mounted and weather-proofed for the Cornish climate. If you ever do have an issue, our UK-based support team is just a phone call away.
