Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, but it does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that monitors your Flint property in real-time. Our proprietary MotionX technology is the core differentiator—it doesn't just look for 'motion' (which leads to false alarms from wind or wildlife), but identifies 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of their movement or if they are trying to hide their figure. Because it understands the difference between a cat and a person at your window, it can trigger automatic interventions like lighting and voice warnings before a break-in occurs. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS works out of the box, automatically detecting your property boundaries and ignoring everything else.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a state-of-the-art AI security network. We support most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video feed locally before escalating critical data to our secure UK cloud. This means you don't need to rip out your existing investment to benefit from proactive AI protection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and our escalating response protocols.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals before they reach your door. The first layer is Presence Simulation; the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away—turning lights on and off in a natural way to make the house look occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or people attempting to conceal their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This starts with instant illumination to strip away the cover of darkness, followed by escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These aren't just pre-recorded clips; they are AI-driven deterrents that let the intruder know they have been spotted and identified.

Privacy and data security are at the heart of scOS. Unlike many security companies that outsource data processing to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response, and only critical events are escalated to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data, and you maintain full control over who can access your feeds. Our system provides 24/7 recording with up to two weeks of footage stored securely, accessible only by you through our encrypted app. By keeping everything within the UK—from our support teams to our servers—we ensure that your home's intelligence remains private and protected under the strictest data laws in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door—often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, from side gates to rear gardens. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime, not just record it. While a doorbell might send a notification to your phone while you're busy, scOS takes independent action using light and voice deterrents to scare off intruders. It also features advanced AI like DVLA vehicle recognition to spot suspicious cars on your driveway, providing a level of security that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot match.

With property crime rates in Flint sitting above the national average, a standard alarm often isn't enough. Burglars in North Wales are increasingly aware of how to bypass basic systems. scOS counters this with Covered Face Detection and Person Recognition. Our AI can identify when someone is intentionally hiding their face with a balaclava or hood and will immediately escalate the response. Because scOS is wired rather than wireless, it cannot be defeated by the 'signal jammers' that are becoming common in vehicle and home thefts. It provides a robust, industrial-grade defence for residential homes, ensuring that North Wales Police have high-quality, actionable evidence if an incident occurs.

Flint's proximity to the A548 and the bridge makes it a target for 'drive-in' thefts. scOS features integrated DVLA Vehicle Recognition that doesn't just see a car; it reads the plate and checks it against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a known suspicious registration enters your driveway, scOS can alert you immediately. This is a vital tool for protecting high-value vehicles, as it identifies the threat the moment they arrive, rather than after they've made off with your car. You can even ask the scOS Director, 'What cars have been on the drive today?' for an instant summary.

We pride ourselves on a professional, hassle-free installation. Our UK-based engineers will arrive at your Flint home and complete the entire setup in a single day, usually within 4 to 6 hours. We don't just 'hang cameras'; we strategically position them for maximum AI efficiency, set up your Intelligence Hub, and configure the external IoT speakers for the voice deterrent system. We also ensure all cabling is neat and secure. Before we leave, we'll walk you through the app, show you how to talk to the scOS Director, and ensure you're completely comfortable with how your new home intelligence system works.
