Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Using our MotionX technology, it identifies 'important activity'—specifically human movement—and ignores distractions like wind, shadows, or animals. Unlike other systems, scOS auto-detects your property boundaries without needing manual setup. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action, using automatic lights and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to drive intruders away before they can cause damage. It’s a proactive guard for your home, not just a witness.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. We can transform your current 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network by connecting them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will ensure your existing setup is optimised for our AI features. We prioritise wired connections because they are more secure and cannot be blocked by the WiFi jammers that are becoming common in modern burglaries.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent system. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your daily activity patterns when you're out. Second, MotionX detection identifies suspicious individuals even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third, Active Intervention uses bright lights and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to alert the intruder that they are being monitored. This combination removes the criminal's anonymity and the element of surprise, making your Cowbridge home a much less attractive target.

We take data privacy very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Your footage is never sold or shared with third parties. The system uses a hybrid approach, processing most data locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy, and only using the cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often reactive, only alerting you once someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive protection for your entire property, including driveways, side entrances, and gardens. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief before they even reach the porch. With professional-grade AI and active deterrents like external speakers, scOS offers a level of security that a simple doorbell camera cannot match.

Cowbridge is an affluent area, and high-value vehicles are often a target for theft. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies registration plates and checks them against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is seen loitering near your property, the system can alert you immediately. You can even ask the scOS Director, 'What cars have been on my drive today?' for a full report, providing an extra layer of protection for your assets.

Many Cowbridge residents travel frequently for work or leisure. Our Presence Simulation feature is designed for this; it learns your home's natural activity patterns and recreates them while you're away, making the house look truly occupied. Combined with our 24/7 recording and remote access via the scOS app, you can have complete peace of mind that your home is being actively protected by a system that doesn't just watch, but acts in your absence.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask questions like 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' or 'Did the courier deliver the parcel?' The Director will provide you with an instant, accurate summary of the activity. It’s like having a digital security guard that you can talk to, making managing your home's security easier and more intuitive than ever before.
