Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, leaving you with grainy footage to show North Wales Police after the fact. scOS transforms your security into a proactive shield using MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that rely on 'motion masks' and trigger for every passing seagull or swaying tree on the promenade, MotionX identifies 'important activity' only. It recognises human forms regardless of how they move or what they wear, ensuring zero false alarms. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents to stop the crime before it happens. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can often breathe new life into your existing 'dumb' cameras. If you have a wired IP system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes 4-6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Hub, we upgrade them with our advanced AI, including MotionX detection and DVLA vehicle recognition. This allows you to benefit from cutting-edge AI intelligence without the cost of a full hardware overhaul, making your current investment work significantly harder for your home's protection.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: when you’re away, scOS uses AI to simulate human activity patterns inside your home, making it appear occupied to any opportunist watching from the street. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone approaches your boundary—even if they are wearing a mask or hood. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers an escalating response. This includes instant illumination via automatic light response and authoritative warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By combining the appearance of an occupied home with immediate, intelligent intervention, scOS stops criminals in their tracks before they ever reach your door.

Privacy is at the core of scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike many consumer brands, we never sell your data. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles critical detection locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. You can access your data anytime, anywhere, with the peace of mind that your private life remains exactly that—private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your door, often after they’ve already pressed it or triggered a delayed sensor. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire property boundary automatically. It uses MotionX to detect threats at the edge of your land, long before they reach your front door. Furthermore, doorbells rarely offer proactive deterrents. scOS actively intervenes with lights and voice warnings to drive intruders away. It’s not just about seeing who’s there; it’s about ensuring that unwelcome visitors never get close enough to cause harm or damage.

Colwyn Bay’s coastal environment can be harsh on wireless electronics. scOS uses professional-grade wired connections rather than relying on Wi-Fi. This is crucial because Wi-Fi signals can be easily jammed by tech-savvy criminals using 'de-auth' devices. A wired system ensures a stable, high-bandwidth connection that can't be interrupted, providing 24/7 recording and instant AI processing regardless of local signal interference or weather conditions. Our professional installers ensure all cabling is discreet and weather-protected, providing a robust security foundation that outlasts and outperforms any wireless consumer alternative.

Yes, scOS features advanced DVLA Vehicle Recognition. For residents in Colwyn Bay, this is particularly useful for monitoring vehicles parked on your driveway or approaching your property. The system checks registration plates against the DVLA database and can even flag 'cloned' plates or vehicles that don't match their registered description. You can ask scOS Director, our conversational AI, questions like 'What cars have been on the drive today?' and receive instant, natural language answers. This adds an extra layer of protection against vehicle theft and helps identify suspicious scouting activity in the neighbourhood.

Presence Simulation is one of our most powerful features for homeowners who travel. Unlike simple light timers, scOS learns your actual household patterns and replicates them realistically. It can control internal lighting and other IoT devices to make it look like someone is moving from room to room, watching TV, or making a brew. To a criminal scouting properties in Colwyn Bay, your home looks lived-in and active, which is the single most effective way to prevent being targeted for a burglary while you're away on holiday or business.
