Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with footage to show the South Wales Police after the damage is done. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands 'important activity.' Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or shadows, scOS works out of the box. It ignores spiders, wind, and animals, focusing solely on human threats. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes with automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers, stopping intruders before they even reach your door.

Absolutely. scOS is brand agnostic and designed to transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. By layering scOS over your existing hardware, you gain access to our advanced AI features like DVLA vehicle recognition and presence simulation without needing to replace every camera on your Alltwen property.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you're away. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious behaviour and recognises people regardless of how they move or if they attempt to cover their faces. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If a threat persists, the system triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI-generated voice warnings and instant illumination. This escalating response is designed to make the intruder feel watched and exposed, forcing them to retreat.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based cloud data centres for storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data stays yours and is never sold to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible from anywhere via our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary automatically. It doesn't just show you a package being stolen; it prevents the thief from stepping onto your driveway in the first place through proactive voice deterrents and presence simulation. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a digital security guard.

Alltwen’s hillside location often means properties have sloped gardens and complex boundaries. Traditional security systems struggle with this, often resulting in 'blind spots' or constant false alarms from movement on the road below. scOS uses Automatic Property Boundary Detection to understand the 3D layout of your land, ensuring it only monitors your actual property and ignores the public highway, regardless of the elevation.

The Welsh valleys are known for their unpredictable weather. Traditional motion detection is often triggered by heavy rain, fog, or wind-blown debris. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically trained to ignore these environmental factors. It focuses only on 'important activity'—human and vehicle movement—ensuring your system remains reliable and your phone isn't flooded with false alerts during a storm.

Yes. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is an excellent tool for monitoring the quiet residential streets of Alltwen. The system can identify vehicles, check their registrations against the DVLA database, and alert you to any that are uninsured, untaxed, or have cloned plates. This helps you spot suspicious vehicles that may be scouting the area before an incident occurs.
