Traditional CCTV in Fleur-de-lis and Pengam is often a passive system that only records footage for you to look at after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. We use MotionX technology, which is designed to identify 'important activity'—like a person approaching your property—while ignoring 'noise' like pets, swaying trees, or wind. Unlike standard systems that require you to manually set up motion zones, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. Most importantly, scOS intervenes. If an intruder is detected, the system uses automatic lights and voice deterrents from external speakers to warn them off immediately. It’s the difference between having a recording of a burglary and preventing one from ever happening.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems. If you already have cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with them. During our professional UK-based installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS platform, you'll upgrade them with our advanced AI features, including MotionX detection, presence simulation, and proactive deterrents. This is a great way to bring state-of-the-art intelligence to your home without the need for a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a three-layer approach to keep your home secure. The first layer is Presence Simulation: the AI learns your home's activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the house look occupied. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies people based on their behaviour and movement, even if they try to hide their face. The third layer is Active Intervention. If an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers an escalating response, starting with automatic lights and moving to clear voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By letting an intruder know they've been spotted before they even reach your door, scOS stops the crime in its tracks.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, with all our data centres and support teams located right here in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes most data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis or remote access. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, ensuring your home is protected while your data remains private and secure.

A video doorbell is a useful tool for seeing who's at the door, but it's not a complete security solution for a valley home. Doorbells are passive; they might record a theft, but they don't prevent it. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your entire perimeter and detecting threats long before they reach your house. Furthermore, scOS uses professional-grade wired cameras, which are much more reliable than wireless doorbells that can be affected by signal interference or battery failure. scOS is designed to stop crime in its tracks, providing a level of security that a doorbell simply can't match.

For residents who commute to Cardiff or Newport, leaving the house empty during the day is a common concern. scOS solves this with Presence Simulation. Unlike simple light timers, our AI learns the specific patterns of your household—which rooms are used and when. When you set the system to 'Away,' it replicates these patterns naturally, making it look like someone is home. This is a powerful deterrent for burglars who scout for empty houses during the day. Combined with our 24/7 monitoring, you can head to work with total peace of mind.

scOS features an Escalating Response strategy. If someone merely walks past your boundary on the pavement, the system remains observant but silent. However, if someone crosses onto your property, the response begins. It might start with a subtle light coming on to show they've been noticed. If they continue toward the house or linger in a sensitive area, the system escalates to a firm voice warning from an external IoT speaker. This 'stepped' approach ensures that a delivery driver or a neighbour isn't treated like a burglar, while genuine threats are met with increasing levels of deterrence.

If you ever have a question about what’s happening at home, you can simply ask. scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask things like, 'Was there anyone in the garden this morning?' or 'What time did the delivery arrive?' It’s like having a digital security guard who has watched every second of your footage and can give you an instant summary. This makes managing your home security in Fleur-de-lis and Pengam incredibly simple and intuitive.
