Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, whereas scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime before it happens. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only. It requires no manual zones or tripwires; it automatically understands your property boundaries and recognises human behaviour, ensuring zero false alarms. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes with lights and voice deterrents to stop intruders in their tracks.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a world-class intelligence network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, you gain all the benefits of MotionX detection and scOS Director without needing to replace your entire infrastructure.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your internal activity patterns and replicate them when you're away, making your home appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or concealed faces the moment someone approaches your boundary. Finally, the system uses active intervention: if a threat persists, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and instant illumination. Unlike a standard alarm that rings after a break-in, scOS makes your home an unattractive target from the outset.

Your privacy is our absolute priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, all your video and intelligence data is processed through UK-based data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid approach where the Intelligence Hub handles critical processing locally at your home for speed, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You retain full control over your data, and we never sell or share your personal information with third parties.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your door; scOS is a proactive security system that protects your entire property. While doorbells have a limited field of view and often suffer from 'notification fatigue' due to false alarms, scOS monitors your full property boundary with 360-degree intelligence. It doesn't just show you a package being stolen—it detects the intruder at the edge of your driveway and uses voice deterrents to stop them before they reach the door. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a digital security guard.

Dinas Powis is one of the most desirable places to live in the Vale, and high-value homes can unfortunately attract unwanted attention. scOS is designed for discerning homeowners who want the highest level of protection without compromising on aesthetics. Our system uses discreet IoT speakers and professional-grade cameras to provide a 'digital gatekeeper' that monitors your boundaries 24/7, ensuring your property remains a private sanctuary.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security as if you were talking to a security guard. You can ask natural questions like 'Who has been to the front door today?' or 'Is the car still on the drive?' This is perfect for busy Dinas Powis residents who want quick, natural updates on their home's status without scrolling through hours of footage.

Yes, scOS is excellent at identifying suspicious behaviour, such as someone wearing a balaclava, hood, or mask to hide their identity. In a close-knit community like Dinas Powis, any attempt at concealment is a major red flag. Our AI will immediately flag this as a high-priority threat and can trigger an escalating response, from turning on floodlights to issuing a direct voice warning through our external speakers.
