Traditional CCTV is reactive—it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is proactive; it’s designed to stop the crime from happening. The core of our system is MotionX, a revolutionary AI that detects 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means it ignores the Dartmoor wind, swaying trees, and local wildlife, focusing only on genuine human threats. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw 'zones,' scOS auto-detects your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, scOS takes action with automatic lights and voice deterrents, warning intruders that they are being watched by an intelligent system, not just a camera.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation—which takes about 4-6 hours—our engineers will integrate your existing cameras into the scOS Intelligence Hub. This upgrades your current 'dumb' cameras with MotionX AI, DVLA vehicle recognition, and our proactive deterrent suite. This approach allows Yelverton residents to leverage their existing investment in security hardware while gaining the most advanced AI protection available on the market today.

scOS uses three layers of proactive defence. First is Presence Simulation: the system uses AI to learn your habits and simulate them when you're away (like turning on specific lights), making your home look occupied. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies people on your property with incredible accuracy, even if they are trying to hide their face or figure. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder is detected, the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers automatic light responses. This escalating response makes it clear to any criminal that the property is actively defended, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your data privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the AI processing locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis and remote alerts. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you via our secure app.

A video doorbell is a small, reactive device that only sees what's directly in front of your door. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. It uses professional, wired cameras that cover your entire boundary and are immune to the Wi-Fi jamming techniques often used by modern burglars. While doorbells often trigger false alarms from the street, scOS uses MotionX to focus only on your property. Most importantly, scOS is proactive—it uses lights and voice deterrents to stop a criminal before they even reach your door, providing far superior protection for homes in Yelverton.

Living on the edge of Dartmoor means dealing with wind, rain, and plenty of wildlife. Traditional motion-sensing cameras are often useless here because they trigger constantly. scOS was built to handle this. Our MotionX technology ignores 'unimportant' motion like swaying branches, heavy rain, or a pony wandering near your fence. It focuses specifically on human behaviour and shapes. This means you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a false alarm, but you will be alerted instantly if a person is actually on your property.

Devon & Cornwall Police cover a vast area, and in rural spots like Yelverton, response times can vary. scOS provides an immediate, automated response that doesn't wait for a human to intervene. By using voice deterrents and lights the moment a threat is detected, scOS often scares off intruders before they can do any damage. It acts as a 24/7 digital sentry that is always 'on duty,' providing you with a level of protection that complements local policing by preventing crimes before they require an emergency call-out.

Yes, scOS features scOS Director, a conversational AI that makes managing your security effortless. You can ask it questions in plain English, such as 'Was there any activity by the gate this morning?' or 'Did any delivery vans arrive while I was out?' The AI will review the footage and give you an instant summary. This is incredibly useful for Yelverton residents with larger properties or those who want to check on their home quickly without scrolling through hours of video.
