Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, but it rarely stops it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that monitors your Tiverton property in real-time. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which ignores the false alarms that plague standard systems—like wind in the trees or spiders on the lens—and focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' While standard cameras wait for you to check an app, scOS identifies threats the moment they cross your property boundary and initiates an immediate, escalating response to deter the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. If you have wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink already installed at your Tiverton home, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering our AI over your existing cameras, you get all the benefits of MotionX detection and proactive deterrents without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided your cameras meet the necessary technical standards for high-quality video feed.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals in their tracks. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your normal internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you’re away, which is the best way to avoid being targeted in the first place. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person’s presence regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their silhouette. Finally, if an intruder persists, the system triggers an Active Intervention. This isn't just a silent alert; scOS uses external IoT speakers to deliver AI-generated voice warnings and activates instant illumination to let the intruder know they have been spotted and are being tracked.

At scOS, we take your privacy as seriously as your security. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information stay yours and are never sold to third parties. You have total control over your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure app, ensuring your Tiverton home remains private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your front door, often after they’ve already pressed the button or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including side gates and back gardens. More importantly, a doorbell just watches; scOS stops the crime. By the time a criminal reaches a video doorbell, they are already on your doorstep. scOS identifies them the moment they step onto your driveway and uses escalating voice and light deterrents to ensure they never get close enough to touch your door.

Tiverton’s position as a gateway to Mid-Devon means many properties have outbuildings, workshops, or garages that are vulnerable to theft. scOS is perfect for these setups. Our MotionX AI can be extended to monitor these structures, detecting suspicious activity even in low light or rural conditions. Because we use wired connections rather than unreliable WiFi, the system remains stable even if your outbuildings are a distance from the main house, ensuring your tools, bikes, and equipment are always protected.

In rural and semi-rural areas like Tiverton, police response times can vary. scOS acts as your immediate first responder. The moment an intruder is detected on your boundary, the system initiates an escalating response. This starts with lighting and moves to direct voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By the time a criminal realizes they've been spotted by an intelligent system that is actively tracking them, they almost always flee. This immediate, automated intervention is the most effective way to prevent crime when help may be miles away.

Many Tiverton residents have pets or live near areas with significant wildlife. Traditional motion-sensing cameras would constantly trigger false alerts in these environments. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically trained to ignore animals, swaying trees, and weather. It focuses only on 'important activity'—specifically human movement and behaviour. This means you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a fox in the garden, but you will be alerted the second a person steps onto your property, giving you 100% confidence in your system.
