Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage to show the South Wales Police after the damage is done. scOS is proactive. Our system uses MotionX technology, which doesn't just look for 'motion' (which causes false alarms from spiders or wind) but identifies 'important activity.' It understands the difference between a neighbour's cat and a person lurking near your property. Because scOS automatically detects your property boundaries, it can trigger an immediate response—like turning on lights or issuing a voice warning—the moment someone steps onto your land. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

In most cases, yes. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with almost any professional-grade wired IP camera, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We transform your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network by connecting them to our Intelligence Hub. This local hub processes the video feed using our AI before escalating critical data to our secure UK cloud. This means you don't need to rip out your existing hardware to benefit from world-class AI protection.

scOS uses three distinct layers of deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your daily habits and replicates them when you’re out, making your home look occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies threats regardless of whether a person is wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Third is Active Intervention. If someone enters your Brynsadler property uninvited, the system responds instantly. It can trigger external lights to illuminate the intruder and use external IoT speakers to deliver an AI-generated voice warning. This escalating response is designed to make criminals realise they’ve been spotted and flee before they reach your door.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global brands that ship data to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub first, with only necessary events escalated to our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data is never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that home security shouldn't come at the cost of your personal privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a slow PIR sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front path, scOS monitors your entire boundary. It detects a threat the moment someone enters your driveway or garden, not just when they reach the front door. Furthermore, doorbells rarely offer active deterrence. scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop a crime from happening in the first place.

For residents commuting to Cardiff or Bristol via the M4, scOS offers the 'scOS Director'—a conversational AI. You can simply ask, 'Is everything okay at home?' or 'Has the gardener been?' and get a natural language response. Combined with Presence Simulation, your home will look and act as if you never left for the office, providing peace of mind while you're away from the village.

Rural and semi-rural properties often have complex boundaries that traditional 'tripwire' software struggles with. scOS uses AI to automatically detect your property lines without any manual setup. Whether your garden backs onto open fields or sits close to the road, the system knows exactly where your land ends and the public path begins, ensuring you only get alerts for genuine trespassers on your property.

Yes. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition. It doesn't just see a car; it checks the registration against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unknown car enters your driveway, the system can flag this as an anomaly. This is particularly useful for homes near the main village thoroughfares where opportunistic vehicle scouts might operate.
