Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records what happens so you can watch the footage after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive "Home Intelligence" system that stops crime in its tracks. The difference lies in our MotionX AI, which focuses on "important activity" rather than just motion. This means no more false alarms from swaying trees or passing animals. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't need you to draw "motion masks"—it understands your property boundaries automatically. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with automatic lights and voice warnings from external IoT speakers, deterring intruders before they can cause any damage. It’s an active guard for your home, not just a camera.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. If you already have a camera system at your Bradley home, we can likely upgrade it with our Intelligence Hub. During our professional UK installation—which takes about 4-6 hours—our engineers will assess your existing hardware and integrate it into the scOS network. This allows you to benefit from advanced AI features like person recognition and DVLA vehicle tracking without the expense of a completely new camera setup. We always recommend wired connections over wireless to ensure your system is immune to signal jamming.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your property safe. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your daily routines and mimics them when you're away, turning lights on and off to make your home look occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious human activity the moment someone enters your property, even if they are trying to hide their face. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder persists, scOS triggers escalating responses, including instant floodlighting and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach makes it clear to any criminal that your home is protected by an intelligent system, forcing them to move on.

Privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Your footage never leaves the UK. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure cloud for advanced AI analysis or remote access. You have total control over your recordings, which are captured 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. We never sell your data to third parties, ensuring your home and family's privacy is always respected.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only monitors your front door, whereas scOS provides comprehensive intelligence for your entire property. Doorbells are often prone to false alarms and can be easily bypassed by intruders entering through a side gate or back garden. scOS uses MotionX AI to monitor your driveways, gardens, and boundaries, and it can distinguish between a delivery driver and a potential threat. Unlike doorbells, scOS also features proactive deterrents like presence simulation and voice warnings. For a village home in Bradley, where properties often have multiple entry points, scOS offers the complete security that a doorbell simply cannot provide.

Bradley is a quiet residential village with a very low crime rate, but this can sometimes lead to complacency. scOS is designed to prevent your home from becoming an easy target for opportunistic thieves who may scout quieter areas. Our system provides a constant, intelligent watch over your property, ensuring that even in a low-crime area, your home is protected by the latest AI technology. This proactive approach gives you peace of mind, knowing that scOS is always on guard, even when you're not.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is a powerful deterrent for residents in villages like Bradley. The system logs the registration of every vehicle that enters your driveway and checks it against the DVLA database. It can identify if a vehicle's plates are cloned or if the car doesn't match its registered description. This information is invaluable for providing evidence to North Wales Police and acts as a significant deterrent for criminals who use vehicles to scout residential areas for potential targets.

For Bradley residents who work in nearby Wrexham or commute via the A483, scOS offers total peace of mind. Our Presence Simulation makes your home look lived-in while you're at work, and our scOS Director AI allows you to check in on your property using natural language. You can simply ask, "Has anyone been to the front door today?" or "Is the driveway clear?" and get an instant, intelligent response. Because MotionX eliminates false alarms, you'll only ever be notified if there is a genuine security concern, allowing you to focus on your day without worrying about your home.
