scOS is a proactive intelligence system, whereas traditional CCTV is a passive recording device. Most systems in Blaenavon simply record footage for you to review after a crime has occurred. scOS uses MotionX technology to detect 'important activity'—like a person approaching your home—while ignoring distractions like wind, rain, or animals. It doesn't require you to set up complex 'motion masks' because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. Most importantly, scOS intervenes. If a threat is detected, it uses external IoT speakers and lighting to deliver an escalating response, deterring intruders before they can even attempt a break-in. It’s the difference between watching a crime and stopping one.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If your Blaenavon home already has a wired camera system, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with it, instantly upgrading your 'dumb' cameras with our advanced AI capabilities. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. This allows you to benefit from MotionX detection, presence simulation, and proactive deterrents without the need for a costly and time-consuming replacement of your entire camera network.

scOS uses a three-layered deterrent strategy to keep your home safe. First, 'Presence Simulation' mimics your natural activity patterns inside your Blaenavon home when you're away, making it appear occupied. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your property, even if they are trying to hide their face or wearing a hood. Third is 'Active Intervention.' If a threat is confirmed, the system triggers bright external lights and authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response tells the intruder they have been spotted by an active system, which is a powerful psychological deterrent that usually causes them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the initial AI analysis locally at your Blaenavon property for maximum speed and privacy. Only when necessary is data escalated to our secure UK cloud for further analysis or remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have complete control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from your smartphone or tablet anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often easily bypassed. scOS provides comprehensive, 360-degree protection for your entire Blaenavon property. While a doorbell might show you a package being taken, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from ever getting near your home. It uses advanced AI like MotionX to eliminate false alarms and features like DVLA vehicle recognition to track suspicious cars. With scOS, you aren't just getting a notification that someone is at the door; you're getting a proactive system that secures your drive, gardens, and side entrances, stopping crime before it happens.

Blaenavon’s status as a World Heritage site means many properties are traditional terraces or have unique historical features. scOS is ideal for these homes because our installation process is discreet and our AI property boundary detection is highly precise. We can secure the front and rear of a terraced property without being triggered by activity on the public pavement, ensuring that you only get alerted to genuine threats on your land. Our professional installers are experts at working with older buildings to ensure a clean, effective setup that respects the heritage of your home.

The weather in the South Wales Valleys can be challenging, with high rainfall and mist. scOS is built for the UK climate. We use high-quality, weather-resistant wired cameras and IoT speakers that are designed to withstand the elements. Because we use wired connections rather than Wi-Fi, the system remains stable and reliable even in the most challenging weather conditions, ensuring your home is protected 24/7, regardless of what the Blaenavon weather throws at it. Our MotionX technology also ignores rain and mist, focusing only on genuine human activity.

While Blaenavon has a higher crime rate than some other villages, scOS is specifically designed to handle these environments. Our proactive deterrents—lights and voice warnings—are highly effective at stopping opportunistic crime before it happens. By providing a visible and intelligent deterrent, you are sending a clear message that your property is protected by the latest AI technology. This makes your home a much less attractive prospect for criminals, helping to keep your family safe and your property secure in any environment.
