Most CCTV systems are passive; they record footage that you might use after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop the crime from happening. Our MotionX technology is a game-changer—it uses AI to identify 'important activity' (like a person approaching your home) while ignoring 'noise' like rain, wind, or animals. Unlike traditional systems, scOS doesn't require you to set up complex motion zones; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS takes immediate action with lights and voice warnings to deter the intruder before they can cause any harm.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will check your existing cameras. If they are compatible, we will connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub acts as the 'brain' of your system, upgrading your existing cameras with our advanced AI features like MotionX detection, presence simulation, and DVLA vehicle recognition. This means you can get the benefits of a state-of-the-art proactive security system without having to replace all your current hardware.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your usual lighting patterns when you're out. Second, our MotionX AI accurately detects suspicious activity, even if someone is trying to hide their face or figure. Third, if an intruder enters your property, the system initiates an Active Intervention: external lights turn on, and IoT speakers deliver escalating voice warnings. This immediate, intelligent response is designed to let the intruder know they've been spotted and that the property is being actively monitored, which is usually enough to make them leave immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK. Your data is processed using a hybrid model: local processing on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response, and secure cloud processing for more complex AI tasks. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data to third parties. You have 24/7 access to your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, and you retain full ownership of your footage. Our system is designed to provide top-tier security while keeping your personal data safe and private.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only monitors your front door and often gives false alarms. scOS is a comprehensive, whole-property intelligence system. It uses MotionX to monitor your entire boundary and can distinguish between a person walking past and someone loitering on your property. Because scOS is hardwired, it's also more reliable than wireless doorbells, which can be jammed. scOS doesn't just show you who's at the door; it proactively protects your whole home and deters criminals before they even reach the door, which is vital in areas with higher crime rates.

We know that Blaenau Ffestiniog has a higher-than-average crime rate, which can be worrying for residents. scOS is specifically designed for high-stakes environments. Our MotionX AI and active deterrents (lights and voice) provide a much stronger level of protection than standard alarms or CCTV. By proactively identifying and deterring intruders before they even attempt a break-in, scOS helps to significantly reduce the risk to your property and give you much-needed peace of mind in a challenging environment.

Blaenau Ffestiniog is famous for its rain! We've designed scOS to be incredibly robust. Our MotionX AI is specifically trained to ignore environmental factors like heavy rain, mist, and wind-blown debris, which often cause false alarms on other systems. The hardware we use is professional-grade and weather-sealed to withstand the Welsh elements. This means you get reliable, accurate security monitoring no matter what the weather is doing outside, ensuring your home is protected 24/7, 365 days a year.

With the high volume of tourists visiting the slate quarries and the Ffestiniog Railway, there are often many strangers in the village. scOS uses Person Recognition to understand the difference between 'normal' behaviour (like someone walking past) and 'suspicious' behaviour (like someone loitering or entering your property boundary). It doesn't use facial recognition, but rather focuses on movement patterns. This allows the system to remain vigilant against potential threats while ignoring the harmless activity of tourists and visitors in the area.
