Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your home being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' the moment it happens. Unlike standard systems that rely on crude motion masks and trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, MotionX understands the difference between a threat and a nuisance, resulting in zero false alarms. When a genuine intruder is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents from external IoT speakers. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard who never sleeps, ensuring that Hawarden residents are protected by active prevention rather than just post-incident evidence.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning we can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a truly intelligent network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like 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 to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we enable local and cloud processing that adds MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents to your current setup. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the need to rip out and replace your entire existing infrastructure, making it a cost-effective way to secure your Hawarden property.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop crime before it starts. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your house appear occupied to anyone watching. If a prowler approaches, the second layer, MotionX, instantly recognises them as a person—even if they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their silhouette. Finally, the system initiates Active Intervention: property boundaries are auto-detected, and as a threat crosses them, scOS triggers escalating responses, from instant illumination to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. This multi-staged approach ensures that criminals feel 'seen' and 'monitored' long before they reach your front door.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud processing and storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your video data remains your property and is never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible anywhere via our secure app. By keeping our operations, support, and data storage within the UK, we provide North Wales homeowners with the peace of mind that their domestic privacy is protected by the highest national standards.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property. While a doorbell has a limited field of view and often triggers too late, scOS uses MotionX to monitor your property boundaries, detecting threats the moment they step onto your land. We don't just record the person stealing your parcel; we use proactive deterrents like voice warnings and light responses to prevent them from approaching in the first place. Furthermore, scOS offers advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and scOS Director, allowing you to ask natural questions about activity across your whole property, providing a level of security that a simple doorbell camera cannot match.

Hawarden’s proximity to Chester and the industrial areas near the Airbus factory can attract opportunistic vehicle thieves. scOS features integrated DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically checks the registration plates of vehicles entering your property against the national database. This technology is specifically designed to flag cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. If an unrecognised or flagged vehicle pulls into your driveway, scOS can alert you immediately and initiate a proactive response, ensuring that your cars are protected by the same level of intelligence as your home.

North Wales Police are dedicated, but in a town like Hawarden, they cannot be everywhere at once. scOS acts as your own private, AI-driven security force. The system doesn't wait for a human to review footage; it uses AI to detect a threat and deploy voice and light deterrents instantly. By the time a criminal has even reached your door, they have already been warned and illuminated. This 'first responder' capability is vital for ensuring that your home is never an easy target, providing a proactive layer of safety that complements local policing.

Hawarden is a beautiful town with a strong sense of community, but its charm can sometimes lead to complacency regarding home security. scOS is designed to be 'set and forget.' Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries and learns the normal patterns of your household. It ignores the common distractions of town life—like local wildlife or swaying trees—and only alerts you when something truly unusual happens. This means you can enjoy the peace of Hawarden knowing that your home is being watched over by a system that is far more vigilant and accurate than any traditional alarm or CCTV setup.
