Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device; scOS is an active AI security guard. While standard cameras will record a crime for you to watch later, scOS is designed to stop it from happening. Our MotionX technology eliminates false alarms by focusing only on 'important activity'—it knows the difference between a person and a stray cat. Unlike other systems, scOS doesn't require you to set up complex zones; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When an intruder is detected, it uses external IoT speakers and lighting to deliver an escalating response, deterring the criminal instantly.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink. During our professional UK-based installation, our engineers will assess your current setup and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your 'dumb' cameras into a proactive AI system capable of DVLA vehicle recognition and human behaviour detection. It’s a cost-effective way for Abertillery residents to upgrade to the highest level of home intelligence without needing to replace all their existing hardware.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent system. First is Presence Simulation, where AI mimics your internal home activity while you're away, making the house look occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they move or if they are trying to hide their faces. Third is Active Intervention: if someone enters your boundary, external IoT speakers deliver a voice warning and smart lights activate. This immediate, intelligent response signals to any intruder that they have been caught, usually causing them to flee before they can cause any damage.

We take data privacy very seriously. scOS is 100% UK-based, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. Your Intelligence Hub processes information locally for immediate action, only using our secure cloud for remote access and critical event escalation. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, and you can interact with your system using our conversational scOS Director AI, knowing your information is safe and private.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often reactive—you get a notification after someone has already pressed the bell or stolen a package. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary, including gardens and side entrances. Unlike doorbells, which are often wireless and can be jammed, scOS uses a reliable wired-over-wireless architecture. Most importantly, scOS is proactive; it uses AI to detect and deter intruders with voice warnings before they ever reach your door, providing a much higher level of security.

Abertillery's unique valley topography can create 'blind spots' for traditional security systems. scOS is designed to handle these challenges. Our professional installers are experts at positioning cameras to cover sloping gardens and tiered properties effectively. Because our AI, MotionX, doesn't rely on simple motion but understands human behaviour and property boundaries, it remains highly effective even in complex layouts. This ensures that whether someone is approaching from the road or the rear hillside, they are detected and deterred instantly.

While Abertillery's crime rate is lower than the national average, this can often lead to a false sense of security. Many thefts in valley towns are opportunistic, targeting homes that appear to have no active protection. scOS ensures you don't become an easy target. By using Presence Simulation and proactive voice deterrents, you maintain a visible and audible security presence that discourages criminals from even considering your property. It’s about maintaining that peace of mind and ensuring your home remains a safe haven.

scOS is designed to be a reliable partner to local law enforcement. While Norfolk Constabulary (as per your local force) does its best, they cannot be everywhere at once. scOS provides an immediate 'first response' through its automated voice and light deterrents, often stopping a crime before police intervention is even needed. If an incident does occur, scOS provides high-quality, AI-filtered footage that makes it easy for you to provide the police with exactly what they need for an investigation, saving time and increasing the chances of a resolution.
