Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is proactive. The core difference is our MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour—rather than just simple motion. You don't need to set up complex motion masks; scOS automatically understands your property boundaries. It ignores false triggers like wind, pets, or spiders, and focuses entirely on potential threats. When someone enters your property in Abercynon, scOS intervenes immediately with lights and voice warnings, deterring them before they can cause any damage or gain entry.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If your Abercynon home already has a wired camera system, our Intelligence Hub can transform it into a proactive AI network. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will integrate your existing cameras into the scOS system. We use wired connections because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed like wireless systems. This allows you to upgrade to the latest AI security technology while making use of your existing hardware.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your internal activity patterns to make your home look occupied, even when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies human threats regardless of how they are dressed or moving. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder is detected, the system triggers instant lighting and escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response lets criminals know they have been spotted by an active system, which is usually enough to make them leave immediately.

Privacy is a top priority for scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. Your Intelligence Hub processes data locally for speed and security, only using the cloud for storage and remote access. We never sell your data or allow third parties to access your feeds. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere. This ensures that your Abercynon home's security data remains private and protected.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system that protects your entire boundary. While a doorbell might tell you someone is at the door, scOS uses AI to detect and deter threats before they even reach your house. With proactive deterrents like voice warnings and light responses, scOS offers a much higher level of security for Abercynon residents than a simple doorbell can provide.

Abercynon has a strong community spirit, and scOS is designed to complement this. Our Person Recognition feature learns to distinguish between family members, regular visitors, and strangers based on their behaviour. This means you won't be alerted every time a well-known neighbour walks past, but you will be notified if someone unfamiliar is showing suspicious interest in your property. It’s a smart way to stay secure while respecting the close-knit nature of the village.

The proximity of the railway and busy transport links in Abercynon can cause vibrations and noise that trigger traditional motion sensors. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically trained to ignore these environmental factors and focus only on human activity. This ensures that your security remains reliable and free from false alarms, even with the regular movement of trains and traffic nearby. You can trust that any alert you receive is a genuine security concern.
