Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, often providing grainy footage that is useless for prosecution. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person approaching your home—while ignoring wind, animals, or shadows. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries and intervenes the moment a threat is detected, turning your security from a witness into a digital guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our UK engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub to unlock advanced AI features like vehicle recognition and proactive deterrents.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop crime before it happens. First, our Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking human activity patterns inside, even when you're away. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour or concealed faces the moment someone enters your property. Finally, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination from smart lighting followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers, ensuring intruders know they are being watched and recorded.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and security, with critical events escalated to our secure UK-based cloud servers for 24/7 access. We are fully GDPR compliant, and unlike many international competitors, we never sell your data or allow third-party access; your footage remains entirely under your control and is stored for up to two weeks.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already caused damage or stolen a parcel. scOS provides 360-degree intelligence for your entire property, detecting threats at the boundary line rather than the doorstep. While a doorbell is a passive notification tool, scOS is a complete security solution that uses AI to intervene and drive criminals away before they ever reach your front door.

Harlech's coastal location means security hardware is often exposed to salt air and high winds, which can cause wireless systems to fail or trigger constant false alarms. scOS uses professional-grade wired connections that are immune to signal jamming and weather interference. Furthermore, our MotionX AI is specifically tuned to ignore the movement of trees or sea spray, focusing only on genuine human threats to your property.

For Harlech residents who travel or own second homes, scOS is the perfect solution. Our Presence Simulation feature goes beyond simple timers; it learns and mimics your actual living patterns, turning lights on and off in a way that looks truly lived-in. You can also use the scOS Director to ask natural questions like 'Has anyone been to the front door while I was away?' and get an instant, conversational summary of activity.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition. This is particularly useful in Harlech for monitoring vehicles that may be scouting properties. The system can check registration plates against the DVLA database and alert you if a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history enters your driveway, providing an extra layer of intelligence that standard CCTV simply cannot match.
