Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, often leaving you with nothing but grainy footage of a masked intruder. scOS transforms this dynamic by introducing proactive AI monitoring through our MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on crude motion masks and trigger alerts for every passing cat or swaying branch, MotionX is trained to identify 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour. It recognises people regardless of whether they are running, crawling, or attempting to hide their silhouette. Because it understands the difference between a threat and a false alarm, it can initiate automatic interventions, such as activating external IoT speakers and lighting, to stop a crime before it happens. This isn't just recording; it's an intelligent, autonomous security guard for your home.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing security infrastructure. If you have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Intelligence Hub, we transform 'dumb' cameras that only record into 'intelligent' sensors capable of proactive boundary detection and escalating responses. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the need to replace every piece of hardware on your property, provided the existing cameras meet the necessary technical standards for high-quality video feed.

scOS employs a sophisticated, multi-layered approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal reaches your door. The first layer is Presence Simulation; the system learns your home's normal internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making the property appear occupied. If a prowler does approach, our MotionX technology identifies them instantly, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. This triggers the second layer: proactive intervention. The system doesn't wait for a break-in; it uses automatic property boundary detection to sense a threat and responds with instant illumination and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. These aren't generic recordings; they are AI-driven deterrents that signal to the intruder that they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

At scOS, we believe your security data should be treated with the highest level of privacy and integrity. Unlike many competitors who outsource data processing to international servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage and advanced analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your video footage and personal information remain your property and are never sold to third parties. You have total control over your data, with 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recorded footage. By keeping everything within the UK, from our support teams to our servers, we provide a level of data sovereignty and security that international brands simply cannot match.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived, which is often too late to prevent a crime. scOS is a comprehensive home intelligence system that protects your entire property, not just the front entrance. While a doorbell might capture a package thief in the act, scOS uses MotionX and automatic boundary detection to spot a suspicious individual the moment they step onto your driveway or garden. By using escalating responses—like turning on lights and delivering voice warnings—scOS stops the crime before the criminal even reaches your door. Furthermore, scOS provides 24/7 recording and professional wired installation, ensuring a level of reliability and coverage that battery-powered doorbells, which are prone to Wi-Fi jamming and 'blind spots', can never achieve.

Abercarn's proximity to the A467 makes it a convenient target for opportunistic 'commuter' criminals who can quickly exit the area. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which specifically monitors vehicles entering your property's vicinity. It checks registration plates against the DVLA database to identify cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. If an unrecognised vehicle lingers near your boundary or enters your driveway, the system can alert you immediately via the scOS Director. This provides an essential layer of protection for residents near major transport links, ensuring that even fast-moving opportunistic thieves are identified and deterred before they can act.

For homes bordering the beautiful Cwmcarn Forest or other rural parts of Abercarn, traditional motion sensors are often a nightmare of false alarms caused by deer, foxes, or swaying trees. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically engineered to ignore animal movement and environmental factors like wind-blown foliage. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity'—human behaviour. Whether someone is trying to use the cover of the woods to approach your property or is walking along a dark boundary line, scOS will identify them with 100% accuracy. This allows you to secure large, rural boundaries without the frustration of constant, meaningless notifications on your phone.

While Gwent Police work hard to keep Abercarn safe, their resources are often stretched across the valley. scOS acts as your first line of defence, providing the immediate intervention that a police force cannot offer. By the time a crime is reported and a patrol is dispatched, the damage is often done. scOS stops the incident in its tracks using light and voice deterrents. Furthermore, because our system provides high-quality, 24/7 recorded evidence and intelligent person recognition, you can provide Gwent Police with clear, actionable intelligence rather than just vague footage, significantly increasing the chances of a successful investigation.
