Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive participant in your home's security. The difference lies in our MotionX AI, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. While standard systems are plagued by false alarms from wind, pets, or shadows, MotionX is designed to ignore these, focusing exclusively on human behaviour. It requires no manual 'tripwires' or 'zones' because it automatically understands your property boundaries. When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record—it acts. Through automatic lighting and voice deterrents, it actively works to prevent a crime from happening, providing Carmarthen residents with a digital security guard that never sleeps.

scOS is built to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can usually upgrade your existing wired IP cameras into an AI-powered security network. We work with all major professional brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional installation process—which takes about 4-6 hours—our UK-based engineers will integrate your current cameras with the scOS Intelligence Hub. This 'brain' of the system applies our advanced MotionX AI and proactive deterrents to your existing feeds. This allows you to benefit from world-class AI protection and presence simulation without the significant expense of replacing your entire hardware setup.

scOS employs a powerful three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your daily habits and mimics them when you're out, making your home look occupied to anyone watching from the street. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they step onto your property, even if they are disguised or moving stealthily. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is confirmed, scOS triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent feedback tells the intruder they are being monitored by an active AI system, which is almost always enough to make them leave immediately.

Privacy is a core pillar of scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data stays within the UK in GDPR-compliant data centres. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the AI analysis locally on your property. This ensures lightning-fast response times and keeps your most sensitive data inside your home. Data is only sent to our secure UK cloud for remote access, alerts, and advanced processing. You retain full ownership of your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, and we never sell your data to third parties.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it's great for seeing who is at the door, but it's reactive and has a very limited view. scOS offers comprehensive property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, not just the front door, and it is designed to stop crime before it reaches your entrance. Unlike a doorbell, scOS can simulate your presence inside the house and use escalating voice warnings to deter someone lurking in your garden or driveway. While a doorbell records a crime in progress, scOS is a complete security ecosystem that proactively prevents intruders from ever attempting a break-in.

With Carmarthen's property crime rate significantly higher than the national average, a passive security system is no longer enough. scOS is specifically designed for high-risk environments. Our 'Covered Face Detection' is a vital feature here; it flags suspicious individuals wearing masks or hoods and triggers an immediate deterrent response. By intervening the moment a threat is detected at your boundary, scOS provides the proactive protection needed to secure your home in the oldest town in Wales, ensuring that you are not just another statistic for the Dyfed-Powys Police.

scOS Director is our revolutionary conversational AI interface. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage to find out when a delivery arrived or if a suspicious car was seen, you can simply ask scOS Director natural questions. For example, you could ask, 'Was there anyone in the back garden after 11 PM?' or 'Did a white van park on the drive today?' The AI understands the context of your property and provides instant answers based on its continuous monitoring. It’s like having a security guard who has watched every second of your footage and can report back to you in plain English.

scOS is designed to be 'jam-proof' by prioritising wired connections over wireless ones. While many modern 'smart' DIY systems rely on WiFi—which can be easily blocked by criminals using cheap jamming devices—scOS uses professional-grade wired cameras. This ensures a constant, unbreakable stream of data to the Intelligence Hub. Even if your internet connection goes down, the local Hub continues to monitor your property, record footage, and trigger deterrents like lights and voice warnings. This level of reliability is essential for maintaining true security in Carmarthen, regardless of external factors.
