UK's first autonomous crime prevention system
Starting from 63p/day
No obligation
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.
Message scOS for pre-edited clips across all cameras, or ask when the bin was last emptied. It's like having staff you can actually talk to.
No hidden fees. No premium tiers. All features included from day one.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in St Stephen
Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Using our MotionX technology, it identifies 'important activity'—specifically human movement—and ignores distractions like wind, shadows, or animals. Unlike other systems, scOS auto-detects your property boundaries without needing manual setup. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action, using automatic lights and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to drive intruders away before they can cause damage. It’s a proactive guard for your home, not just a witness.
Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. We can transform your current 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network by connecting them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will ensure your existing setup is optimised for our AI features. We prioritise wired connections because they are more secure and cannot be blocked by the WiFi jammers that are becoming common in modern burglaries.
scOS uses a three-layer deterrent system. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your daily activity patterns when you're out. Second, MotionX detection identifies suspicious individuals even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third, Active Intervention uses bright lights and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to alert the intruder that they are being monitored. This combination removes the criminal's anonymity and the element of surprise, making your St Stephen home a much less attractive target.
We take data privacy very seriously. 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 never sold or shared with third parties. The system uses a hybrid approach, processing most data locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy, and only using the cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.
A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often reactive, only alerting you once someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive protection for your entire property, including driveways, side entrances, and gardens. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief before they even reach the porch. With professional-grade AI and active deterrents like external speakers, scOS offers a level of security that a simple doorbell camera cannot match.
St Stephen and the surrounding Clay Country can have properties with large gardens or outbuildings that are difficult to monitor. scOS is ideal for this because our AI automatically detects your property boundaries. If someone enters your land from a back field or a side path, the system knows instantly. It’s designed to protect the whole perimeter, ensuring that your sheds, garages, and gardens are just as secure as your front door.
Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition. This is particularly useful for residents in St Stephen who may have multiple vehicles or park on driveways. The system identifies registration plates and checks them against the DVLA database. If a suspicious vehicle is seen loitering near your home, scOS can alert you immediately. You can even ask the scOS Director, 'What cars have been on my drive today?' for a quick summary of all vehicle activity.
We are a 100% UK-based company, and that includes our support and installation teams. If you have any issues or need to expand your system, our UK-based experts are just a phone call away. We don't use overseas call centres; you'll speak to someone who understands the local area and the specific security needs of Cornish residents. Our professional installation ensures your system is set up correctly from day one, providing long-term reliability.
