Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, but it does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—specifically human threats—without the need for frustrating motion masks or zones. Unlike standard systems that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, scOS offers zero false alarms by recognising people regardless of their movement or if they are trying to hide their face. When a threat is detected, the system doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. It transforms your security from a witness into a digital guard that prevents the incident from ever reaching your front door.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our advanced MotionX AI and proactive deterrents to your current setup, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement while vastly upgrading your home's protection levels.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, our primary passive deterrent that learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the property appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour and recognises people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, if a threat persists, the system initiates active intervention. This starts with automatic property boundary detection—no manual tripwires needed—and triggers instant illumination followed by escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This multi-stage response is designed to convince any intruder that the home is occupied and monitored, forcing them to retreat before a break-in occurs.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many competitors, we never sell your data to third parties. The system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles critical detection locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You maintain total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 with up to two weeks of history accessible from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app. Your home's intelligence stays between you and the system.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed the button or triggered a delayed alert. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system designed to stop crime before it reaches the door. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that understands the difference between a delivery driver and a prowler. By the time a criminal reaches a video doorbell, they are already on your property; scOS identifies them at the boundary and uses proactive voice and light deterrents to ensure they ensure they never get that close. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a digital fortress.

While Tavistock enjoys a lower crime rate than the national average, its position as a gateway to Dartmoor makes it a target for opportunistic theft, particularly of high-value outdoor equipment and vehicles. Criminals often target quieter towns assuming security will be lax. scOS ensures you don't become a statistic by maintaining a proactive 'always-on' presence. Our Presence Simulation is particularly effective here, making your home look active even if you're out enjoying the moors or away for the weekend, deterring burglars who are looking for an easy, unoccupied target.

Many Tavistock homes feature large gardens or outbuildings that are difficult to monitor with standard WiFi cameras. scOS uses professional wired installations that provide a stable, unjammable connection across your entire property. Our AI-driven boundary detection automatically identifies the perimeter of your land, including detached garages or workshops. If someone enters these areas, the system can trigger specific voice warnings or lights, protecting your expensive mountain bikes, tools, or garden machinery before an intruder even gets near the main house.

Yes, scOS is perfect for the many residents who commute to Plymouth or Exeter. Our Presence Simulation technology doesn't just turn lights on and off on a timer; it learns your actual habits—like which rooms you use and when—and replicates them realistically. This means that while you are at work, your home in Tavistock appears fully occupied to anyone watching from the street. If an anomaly is detected, you'll receive an instant notification via the app, allowing you to check in on your property from your office or the train.
