Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune, but scOS is a proactive guardian. While standard systems rely on 'motion masks' that you have to manually draw—and which still result in endless false alarms from shadows or the wind off the Gwendraeth Valley—our MotionX technology understands 'important activity' out of the box. It ignores spiders, swaying trees, and animals, focusing solely on genuine threats. Instead of just filming a break-in, scOS intervenes the moment a boundary is breached, using AI to identify suspicious behaviour and deploying immediate deterrents like light and voice warnings to stop the crime before it starts.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can often transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence network. If you have wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink already installed around your Kidwelly property, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate them. During our professional UK-based installation, which typically takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering our AI over your existing cameras, you get all the benefits of proactive protection and MotionX detection without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided the cabling is sound.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away, the system simulates natural human activity inside your home to make it look occupied, which is the most effective way to stop a burglar from even choosing your house. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their face. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system triggers Active Intervention. This isn't just a silent alert; it’s an escalating response where external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings and lights illuminate the area, making it clear to the intruder that they are being watched and recorded.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Unlike many competitors who send footage to overseas servers, your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub before being securely escalated to our UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your footage and personal information remain your property and are never sold to third parties. You have total control over your data through the scOS app, and with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks, you can access your history from anywhere in the world, knowing it is protected by British privacy standards.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they’ve already pressed it or moved away. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that protects your entire perimeter. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your whole property boundary automatically. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell might capture a package thief in the act, scOS detects the approach, simulates presence to deter the attempt, and uses active voice warnings to drive the intruder away before they ever reach your front door.

In rural areas like Kidwelly, police response times can be longer than in major cities. scOS addresses this by providing 'Active Intervention' that doesn't wait for the police to arrive. By the time a traditional alarm would have just started ringing, scOS has already identified the intruder, issued a voice warning, and turned on floodlights. This immediate, local response is often enough to scare off opportunists who realise the property is 'intelligent' and actively defended. It provides that crucial first line of defence that rural properties often lack, giving you peace of mind even when help is miles away.

The Welsh weather can be a nightmare for standard motion sensors, with wind and rain causing constant false alerts. However, scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically trained to ignore environmental factors. It doesn't just look for 'pixels moving'; it looks for human-like behaviour and shapes. Whether it's a gale blowing through the valley or heavy rain on the lens, scOS remains focused on 'important activity.' This means you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a false alarm caused by a swaying branch or a wet cobweb, ensuring that when you do get an alert, it’s something that actually requires your attention.

scOS features advanced DVLA Vehicle Recognition. If a vehicle enters your property boundary, the system can check its registration against the DVLA database. This is particularly useful for identifying cloned plates or vehicles that shouldn't be there. In a close-knit community like Kidwelly, knowing exactly who is visiting—and having a record of their vehicle details—adds an extra layer of intelligence. You can even ask the scOS Director, 'What cars have been on my drive today?' and get a natural language summary of all vehicle activity, helping you keep track of deliveries or unexpected visitors.
