Standard CCTV is a reactive tool; it records a crime so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop the crime from happening in the first place. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which moves beyond simple motion detection. While your current system might alert you every time a cat walks past or the wind blows through the trees in Trewoon, MotionX ignores these distractions. It focuses only on 'important activity,' recognising human forms even if they are trying to hide or change their shape. When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record; it takes action by activating lights and voice deterrents to scare off intruders before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be highly compatible with existing security infrastructure. If your Trewoon home already has wired IP cameras from major brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, we can usually integrate them into the scOS ecosystem. Our professional UK-based installers will perform a full assessment of your current setup during the installation process, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we 'upgrade' them with our advanced AI features, including DVLA vehicle recognition and proactive deterrents. This allows you to benefit from cutting-edge AI security without the need for a completely new hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to make your home an unattractive target for criminals. It starts with Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your daily habits and mimic them when you're away—turning lights on and off to make the house look occupied. If someone does approach, our MotionX AI identifies them instantly. This triggers our Active Intervention layer: external IoT speakers deliver automated voice warnings, and smart lighting illuminates the intruder. These aren't just simple recordings; they are escalating responses that show the criminal they are being monitored by an intelligent system. By combining the appearance of an occupied home with immediate, automated responses, scOS stops intruders at the boundary.

We take data privacy extremely seriously, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Your video and data are processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for maximum speed and security, with critical events escalated to our secure UK-based cloud servers. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You have complete ownership and 24/7 access to your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. For residents in Trewoon, this means your home's security data never leaves the country, providing a level of privacy and legal protection that many international camera brands simply cannot offer.

A video doorbell is a useful tool for seeing who is at your front door, but it offers very little in the way of actual crime prevention. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide security solution. While a doorbell is reactive and easily bypassed by entering through a side gate or back window, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses professional wired cameras that are immune to the WiFi jamming techniques often used by modern burglars. Furthermore, scOS includes proactive features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents that a doorbell lacks. In short, a doorbell watches you get burgled; scOS prevents the burglary from ever happening.

In a close-knit village like Trewoon, maintaining the peace is just as important as security. scOS is perfect for this because our MotionX AI is incredibly precise, meaning it won't trigger loud voice warnings or bright lights just because a neighbour's cat wanders onto your drive or a car passes by. The system is designed to be a 'silent guardian' that only becomes vocal when a genuine human threat is detected within your property boundaries. This ensures you stay protected without becoming a nuisance to your neighbours, keeping Trewoon the quiet, friendly place it’s known to be.

Trewoon’s proximity to the 'Clay Country' and the Cornish coast means cameras can be subjected to dust and salt air. During our professional installation, we use high-quality, weather-rated wired cameras and ensure all cabling is properly protected. Because scOS is brand-agnostic, we can recommend specific hardware that is best suited to the local environment. Furthermore, our MotionX AI is trained to ignore environmental factors like dust clouds or heavy rain, ensuring that your security remains sharp and reliable regardless of the local conditions.

Yes, scOS is an ideal solution for second homes or holiday lets in Cornwall. Our Presence Simulation feature is particularly valuable here, as it makes the property appear lived-in even during the quiet winter months. You can check in on your property 24/7 from anywhere in the world via our app, and you can even use the scOS Director AI to ask questions like 'Has anyone been to the back door this week?' If a threat is detected, the system handles the intervention automatically, giving you peace of mind that your Cornish retreat is protected even when you're hundreds of miles away.
