Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime while it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a person in a hoodie that the police cannot use. scOS transforms this dynamic by introducing MotionX technology, which doesn't just see movement—it understands activity. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw 'motion masks' to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX works out of the box to identify human behaviour while ignoring environmental noise. Most importantly, scOS is proactive; it doesn't just watch, it intervenes. By using AI to detect threats at your property boundary, it can trigger external lights and voice warnings to deter an intruder before they ever reach your door, providing a level of protection that old-fashioned 'record-only' systems simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing security infrastructure. If you have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with them seamlessly. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes between 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing 'dumb' cameras to the scOS Hub, you instantly upgrade them with our advanced MotionX AI, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrent capabilities. This allows you to benefit from cutting-edge AI home intelligence without the need to rip out and replace your entire existing setup, making it a cost-effective way to achieve professional-grade security.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage of an attempted break-in. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the property appear occupied. If a prowler is not deterred by this, the second layer is our MotionX detection. This revolutionary AI identifies 'important activity' at your property boundaries, recognising people even if they are trying to hide their shape or face. Once a threat is confirmed, the third layer—Active Intervention—kicks in. The system triggers instant illumination and delivers escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This proactive approach ensures that a criminal feels watched and exposed long before they can cause any damage or gain entry.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy by design' approach to your security. Unlike many international competitors, we are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your personal data remains your property and is never sold to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the AI analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for remote access or advanced processing. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app, giving you peace of mind without compromising your privacy.

While video doorbells have become popular, they are fundamentally reactive devices that only cover a tiny portion of your home. A doorbell tells you someone is at the door; scOS protects your entire property. Video doorbells often suffer from 'notification fatigue' due to false alarms from passing cars or pedestrians, whereas our MotionX AI ensures you only get alerted to genuine threats. Furthermore, doorbells rarely deter a determined criminal who can simply cover their face. scOS provides a whole-property shield, detecting intruders at the boundary and using proactive voice and light deterrents to stop them before they even reach your door. It is the difference between having a digital peephole and having a professional AI security guard monitoring your entire perimeter 24/7.

Holyhead's busy port and the constant flow of ferry traffic can unfortunately attract opportunistic crime and transient individuals scouting for targets. scOS is uniquely equipped for this environment with DVLA Vehicle Recognition. Our system monitors all vehicles approaching your property, checking registrations against the DVLA database to flag cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. This provides an essential early warning system for Holyhead residents, allowing you to identify potential threats long before they attempt to step onto your property.

Many Holyhead residents own holiday lets or second homes that are often left empty. scOS is the perfect solution for these properties. Our 'Presence Simulation' uses AI to mimic the activity of a real person inside the home, making it appear occupied even when it's not. If an intruder does approach, the system's proactive voice and light deterrents will engage automatically. You can monitor everything from our secure app, and with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks, you'll always have a clear record of what's happening at your property, no matter where you are in the world.

North Wales Police have noted that criminals often try to hide their identity using hoods or masks. scOS features 'Covered Face Detection,' which specifically flags individuals who are attempting to conceal their features. Unlike standard cameras that might just record a blurry figure, scOS identifies the suspicious behaviour of concealment and can trigger an immediate escalating response. This ensures that even if a criminal thinks they are hidden, the system recognises the threat and takes proactive steps to deter them from your Holyhead home.
