Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records your property being burgled but does nothing to stop it. In a village like Troon, where Devon & Cornwall Police have a large area to cover, you need a system that can act on your behalf. scOS is proactive. It uses our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour—while ignoring the 'noise' of pets, birds, or swaying trees. When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to deter the intruder before they can cause damage. It’s the difference between having a video of a crime and preventing the crime from happening.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have a camera system at your Troon home, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate it, instantly adding AI intelligence to your existing hardware. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We always recommend wired connections over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be 'jammed' by criminals using Wi-Fi blocking devices, ensuring your security is always active and dependable.

scOS uses a three-layer approach to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your house look occupied by mimicking your usual lighting and activity patterns—perfect for when you're away from the village. Second is our MotionX AI, which detects people even if they are trying to hide their silhouette or cover their faces. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers external lights and uses IoT speakers to deliver authoritative voice warnings. This immediate, autonomous response usually causes criminals to flee immediately, as they realise the property is intelligently protected and they have been spotted.

We are a 100% UK-based company, and we keep all your data within the UK. Your video and activity logs are stored in secure, GDPR-compliant data centres. Unlike many other security companies, we never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub does the majority of the work locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You have full control over your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks, giving you a reliable record for the authorities if needed.

A video doorbell is a basic consumer device that only watches your front door. It doesn't provide the comprehensive coverage needed for a home in Troon. scOS is a full-property intelligence system. While a doorbell might show you someone at the door, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including side gates, gardens, and outbuildings. It uses AI to detect suspicious behaviour and vehicles long before anyone reaches your house. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS is a professional security solution that stops crime, whereas a doorbell merely records it.

Troon has a rich mining heritage, and many homes have unique layouts with various outbuildings or workshops. scOS is ideal for these properties because our AI automatically detects your property boundaries without the need for complex manual setup. Whether you're protecting a detached garage, a workshop, or a garden office, scOS monitors the entire perimeter. If someone enters a restricted area, the system can trigger a specific response for that zone, ensuring your tools and equipment are as well-protected as your main home.

For residents in Troon, vehicle security is often a priority. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs the registration of every vehicle that enters your property's vicinity. It can identify suspicious vehicles or those with cloned plates. If an unrecognised vehicle enters your driveway at an unusual hour, scOS can immediately alert you and initiate a deterrent response, such as turning on floodlights. This is a vital tool for protecting your cars or vans from organised theft, providing an extra layer of security for your driveway.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that makes managing your security as simple as having a chat. If you're out for the day or away on holiday, you don't need to scroll through hours of video. You can simply ask, 'Has there been any unusual activity today?' or 'Did the delivery driver come?' The Director will scan your data and give you a clear, written summary. It’s a fast, intuitive way for Troon residents to stay connected to their home security without any technical hassle, accessible from anywhere via your smartphone.
