Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it's happening but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. The core difference is our MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity' rather than just motion. It ignores wind, animals, and shadows, focusing only on human threats. When scOS detects an intruder at your Gowerton home, it doesn't just record—it intervenes. Using automated lights and voice deterrents, it warns the intruder off, stopping the crime before it even begins. It's the difference between having a witness and having a guard.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have a system at your Gowerton property, our professional UK installers can likely integrate it with our scOS Intelligence Hub. During the 4-6 hour installation, we'll transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a proactive AI network. This allows you to upgrade to world-class security with MotionX detection and automated deterrents without the cost of replacing all your current hardware.

scOS uses a three-layer approach to deterrence. First, Presence Simulation mimics your household's activity patterns when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they're disguised. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS triggers smart lighting and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, escalating response is designed to unnerve intruders and force them to leave before they can attempt a break-in.

Privacy is a top priority for us. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, never sent abroad. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring your footage remains your property and is never sold. Our system uses local processing on your Intelligence Hub combined with secure cloud storage, giving you 24/7 access to your recordings for up to two weeks via our app. By keeping everything in the UK, we provide a level of security and privacy that international brands simply cannot match.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary, including driveways and gardens. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent it. By detecting intruders at the edge of your property and using proactive deterrents like voice warnings, scOS stops criminals before they even reach your door, offering much more comprehensive protection than a simple doorbell camera.

Gowerton's position as a gateway to the Gower Peninsula means there's often a lot of passing traffic. Traditional security systems would be overwhelmed with false alerts, but scOS's MotionX technology is different. It ignores the 'noise' of passing cars and pedestrians on the pavement, focusing only on 'important activity' that occurs within your property boundaries. This means you won't be bothered by constant notifications from the main road, but you'll be alerted the second someone actually steps onto your driveway.

Yes, scOS is excellent for protecting your vehicles. Our system includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which can identify unrecognised cars on your driveway. More importantly, our MotionX AI can detect someone loitering near your car or trying the door handles. If suspicious activity is detected, scOS can immediately trigger a voice warning like, 'Security is monitoring this vehicle,' which is a powerful deterrent for car thieves. This proactive approach is much more effective than just having a camera that records the car being driven away.

scOS is designed to be incredibly easy to use. You don't need to be a tech expert to manage your security. Our 'scOS Director' is a conversational AI that lets you ask natural questions like, 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' or 'Did the postman come today?' You can manage everything through a simple app on your phone. Plus, because our MotionX technology eliminates false alarms, you won't be bothered by constant, meaningless notifications, making it a 'set and forget' system that only contacts you when it really matters.
