Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens so you can watch the footage later. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just detect motion; it identifies "important activity," such as a person approaching your boundary, while ignoring wind, animals, or spiders. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS auto-detects your property lines and uses external IoT speakers and lighting to intervene and deter intruders before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. We transform your "dumb" cameras into an intelligent network by connecting them to our Intelligence Hub, which provides the local processing power needed for our advanced AI features. This allows you to upgrade to world-class intelligence without the cost of replacing all your existing cameras.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your internal activity patterns and replicate them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, MotionX detection identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Finally, the system uses active intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS triggers instant illumination and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they have been spotted and are being monitored.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data stays yours and is never sold to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid approach: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes video locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door—often when it's already too late. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view and often relies on "dumb" motion sensing that triggers for every passing car, scOS monitors your entire boundary. It identifies threats at the edge of your property, provides escalating deterrents to stop them, and uses DVLA-linked vehicle recognition to flag suspicious cars. It’s a comprehensive security shield, not just a digital peephole.

Caer-went's proximity to the A48 makes it a convenient target for opportunistic "transit crime," where thieves travel between Newport and Chepstow. scOS is specifically designed to counter this by using DVLA vehicle recognition. Our AI checks the registration of any vehicle entering your driveway against the national database, instantly flagging cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. This provides an early warning system that traditional village security simply cannot match.

Absolutely. While Caer-went is a historic village near the Roman ruins, scOS is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible. Our professional installers are experienced in working with a variety of property types, ensuring that the external IoT speakers and sensors are placed discreetly. Because scOS can work with your existing wired cameras, we can often provide a massive intelligence upgrade without needing to install new, unsightly hardware on your home's exterior.

Gwent Police, like many forces, must prioritise active crimes. scOS helps by providing high-quality, 24/7 recorded evidence and, more importantly, by preventing the crime from occurring in the first place. By using escalating voice deterrents and instant lighting, scOS often drives intruders away before a break-in is even attempted. If an incident does occur, you can use scOS Director to ask natural questions like "Show me the person in the red hoodie," making it easy to provide police with the exact evidence they need.
