Standard CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records your property being violated so you can show the footage to the police after the fact. scOS is a digital bodyguard. Our system uses MotionX technology, a revolutionary AI that focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. While traditional cameras are triggered by swaying trees, cobwebs, or passing foxes, scOS ignores the noise and only alerts you to genuine threats. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. By automatically detecting your property boundaries, it can trigger instant light and voice responses to deter an intruder before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a video of a crime and preventing the crime from happening in the first place.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-level intelligence system. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes your video feeds locally using our proprietary AI before escalating to the cloud. By using your existing wired infrastructure, we provide a more secure and stable connection than wireless alternatives, which are often susceptible to signal jamming by modern criminals.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which is our primary passive deterrent. The system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them while you're away, making the house appear occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection. This AI is trained to recognise human behaviour regardless of whether a person is walking, crawling, or attempting to hide their figure with a mask or hoodie. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If the AI detects a persistent threat, it triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and activates automatic lighting. This proactive approach forces criminals to realise they have been spotted, usually causing them to flee before attempting a break-in.

We take data privacy incredibly seriously. Unlike many security companies that store data on international servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means our company, our support teams, and our data centres are all located right here in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours and is never sold or shared with third parties. Your Intelligence Hub processes most of the AI logic locally on your property for maximum speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for heavy lifting and remote access. You have 24/7 access to your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, giving you total peace of mind.

A video doorbell is a useful tool for seeing who is at the door, but it is fundamentally reactive. It usually only alerts you once someone is already on your doorstep, and it offers very little in the way of actual crime prevention. scOS is a comprehensive home intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While a doorbell might show you a parcel being stolen, scOS uses AI to identify suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your driveway or garden. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS is designed to stop a criminal in their tracks long before they get near your front door. It’s proactive security versus a simple digital peephole.

Gwernymynydd's position on the A494 means there is a constant flow of traffic past many homes. Traditional motion-sensing cameras would be triggered constantly by passing cars, leading to 'notification fatigue.' scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically designed to ignore routine motion like passing vehicles or swaying trees on the Clwydian Range. It only triggers an alert when it detects 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour within your property boundaries. This means you won't be bothered by false alarms from the main road, but you will be notified the second someone steps onto your driveway.

Yes, scOS is designed for the rugged conditions of North Wales. Our professional installation uses high-quality, wired connections that are far more reliable than wireless systems in areas with varying terrain and weather. The external IoT speakers and cameras we use are fully weather-rated. Furthermore, our AI is trained to maintain accuracy during heavy rain or fog, ensuring that your property remains protected even when visibility is poor. We provide a robust, hard-wired solution that won't let you down when the Welsh weather turns.

scOS features 'Covered Face Detection,' which is a vital tool for modern security. If the AI detects someone on your property wearing a balaclava, mask, or even a tightly pulled hoodie designed to hide their identity, it immediately flags this as suspicious. Unlike standard systems that just record the person, scOS can instantly escalate its response, triggering lights and voice warnings to let the individual know they have been identified as a threat. This is a powerful deterrent against premeditated thefts where criminals attempt to hide their faces from traditional CCTV.
