Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is an active participant in your home's security. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, scOS uses MotionX. This revolutionary AI ignores the 'noise' and focuses only on important activity, such as a person approaching your property. Because it understands what it sees, it doesn't just record—it intervenes. From the moment someone crosses your property boundary, scOS can activate lights and voice warnings to deter them before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard who never sleeps, ensuring that Boverton residents aren't just filming crime, but preventing it entirely.

Yes, in the vast majority of cases, scOS can breathe new life into your existing hardware. We are brand agnostic, meaning our Intelligence Hub is compatible with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We transform your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network by offloading the processing to our local Hub and secure UK cloud. This means you don't need to rip out your existing infrastructure to benefit from world-class AI monitoring, boundary detection, and proactive deterrents. It’s a cost-effective way to upgrade to the most advanced home intelligence system available in South Wales.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away, scOS learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make the house look occupied, deterring burglars who are scouting the area. Second is our MotionX detection; unlike basic sensors, it recognises people even if they are wearing masks or trying to hide their silhouette, ensuring no threat goes unnoticed. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, scOS initiates active intervention. This isn't just a silent alert to your phone; the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and triggers instant illumination. By the time a criminal realises they've been spotted by an AI that is actively tracking them, the risk of continuing becomes too high, forcing them to retreat.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global brands that ship your footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your data is processed through a combination of your local Intelligence Hub and our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your video feeds and personal information remain your property and are never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our encrypted app. By keeping everything within the UK—from our support teams to our servers—we provide a level of data sovereignty and security that international competitors simply cannot match.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS provides proactive, whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, from the driveway to the back fence. It doesn't just wait for someone to stand in front of a lens; it detects suspicious behaviour anywhere on your land. Furthermore, doorbells rarely deter a determined criminal. scOS actively intervenes with escalating responses to stop a crime before it happens. For a home in Boverton, where property layouts can be more complex than a simple front door, scOS offers the comprehensive coverage and preventative power that a doorbell simply cannot provide.

Absolutely. One of the standout features of scOS is our DVLA Vehicle Recognition. The system doesn't just see a car; it reads the registration and checks it against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or one that doesn't match its registered description enters your vicinity, scOS flags it as a high-priority anomaly. For residents in Boverton, this is particularly useful for spotting suspicious vehicles that may be 'casing' the village. You can even ask the scOS Director, 'What cars have been on the drive today?' and get a natural language summary of all vehicle activity, giving you total oversight of who is coming and going from your property.

Rural and coastal areas like Boverton can be challenging for wireless systems due to signal interference and weather conditions. That’s why scOS insists on a professional, wired installation. Wired systems are significantly more reliable and, crucially, cannot be 'jammed' by criminals using cheap electronic devices—a common vulnerability with WiFi-based cameras. Our UK-based installation team handles everything in a single day, ensuring all cabling is discreet and weather-protected. This provides you with a robust, 24/7 recording setup that remains functional regardless of local signal issues or attempts to disrupt your home's wireless network, providing permanent peace of mind.

While Boverton enjoys a lower crime rate than the national average, property crime still accounts for a significant portion of local incidents. Low-crime areas are often targeted by opportunistic criminals because residents may have more relaxed security habits. scOS is designed to ensure that your home doesn't become the 'easy' target. By using Presence Simulation and proactive boundary detection, scOS maintains a high level of vigilance even when you are relaxed. It’s about maintaining the safety of the village by making your property a hard target, ensuring that the peace and quiet of Boverton remains undisturbed by preventing crime before it ever has a chance to occur.
