Traditional CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records a crime so you can watch it back later. scOS is a digital security guard. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing car or a swaying branch, our revolutionary MotionX technology focuses only on 'important activity.' It ignores spiders, cobwebs, and animals, providing zero false alarms. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. It automatically detects your property boundaries without you needing to draw complex zones, and it uses escalating responses—from turning on lights to delivering voice warnings via external IoT speakers—to stop an intruder before they ever reach your door. It transforms your security from a passive record into a proactive deterrent.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI-driven network. If you have wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, 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 to ensure compatibility. By layering our scOS software over your existing cameras, you gain all the benefits of MotionX detection, presence simulation, and proactive AI monitoring without the need to replace your entire physical infrastructure. This makes upgrading to a truly intelligent home security system both cost-effective and efficient for Crickhowell residents.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away, the system simulates human activity patterns inside your home to make it appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person's presence regardless of whether they are wearing a hood or trying to hide their figure. Third is Active Intervention. If someone crosses your property boundary, the system triggers an instant response. This starts with illumination and can escalate to authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. Unlike a standard alarm that rings after a break-in, scOS identifies the threat early and uses these escalating layers to convince a criminal that your home is a high-risk target, usually causing them to leave before any damage is done.

At scOS, we take your privacy as seriously as your security. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. All your data is processed through our local Intelligence Hub on your property, with necessary escalations handled in secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your footage and personal information remain your property and are never sold or shared with third parties. You have complete control over your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that home intelligence should provide peace of mind without compromising your digital privacy or your right to feel secure in your own data.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. For a property in Crickhowell, you need protection that covers more than just the front step. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS uses AI to detect someone scouting your perimeter or loitering near your side gates. It stops the crime from happening in the first place through proactive light and voice deterrents. Furthermore, scOS is a hardwired system, making it far more reliable than wireless doorbells that can be easily jammed or suffer from battery failure. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a comprehensive, AI-driven security detail for your entire home.

Crickhowell's position on the A40 corridor means many homes are near busy transit routes. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the registration plates of vehicles near your property. It can distinguish between your own cars and unknown ones, flagging any that exhibit suspicious behaviour or have cloned plates. This is a vital tool for identifying potential threats before they even step out of their vehicle, providing an extra layer of security for homes in the Usk Valley.

Crickhowell is a popular tourist destination, which means there is often a high level of footfall near local properties. scOS uses advanced boundary detection to distinguish between someone walking past on a public path and someone actually entering your property. Our MotionX technology is trained to recognise human behaviour, so it won't trigger for every tourist taking a photo, but it will instantly alert you and take action if someone begins loitering or attempting to access your private space.

scOS features 'scOS Director,' a conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask questions like, 'Was there any activity near the back gate today?' or 'Did the delivery arrive while I was out?' This is perfect for Crickhowell residents who want to stay informed about their home's security without having to scroll through hours of footage. It’s like having a personal security guard who can give you an instant, accurate summary of everything that’s happened.
