Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or what they are wearing, without the need for complex motion masks. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. By detecting threats at your property boundary, it can trigger automatic light responses and voice warnings to stop an intruder before they ever reach your door, turning your cameras from a witness into a deterrent.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering our AI over your existing cameras, we provide a cost-effective way to upgrade to world-class home intelligence without needing to replace every piece of hardware on your property. This allows you to keep the equipment you've already invested in while gaining the proactive protection of scOS.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied to anyone watching. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the very edge of your property boundary. Unlike standard systems, it isn't fooled by disguises or unusual movement. Third is Active Intervention. When a genuine threat is detected, the system triggers an escalating response, starting with instant illumination and followed by authoritative warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, AI-driven response signals to criminals that they have been spotted and that the home is actively defended.

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 before being escalated to our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your footage and personal information remain your property and are never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that home security should never come at the cost of your personal privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence that stops crime before it happens. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that understands the difference between a delivery driver and a loiterer. Furthermore, doorbells rarely offer proactive deterrents. scOS uses escalating voice warnings and light responses to drive intruders away from your property entirely. It’s the difference between seeing a package thief on camera and ensuring the thief never feels comfortable enough to step onto your driveway in the first place.

With a local property crime rate significantly higher than the national average, Lampeter residents need more than just a camera; they need an active intervention system. scOS is designed to handle high-traffic areas by using Person Recognition to distinguish between known residents and strangers. When an unknown person exhibits suspicious behaviour—such as loitering or attempting to conceal their face—the system doesn't just record; it uses external IoT speakers to deliver a voice deterrent, letting the individual know they are being monitored by an AI security system. This immediate feedback is often enough to make a potential intruder move on to an easier target.

Lampeter’s mix of students, locals, and visitors means there is often a lot of movement around town. Our MotionX technology is revolutionary because it ignores 'noise' like wind, animals, and shadows, focusing only on 'important activity.' It can recognise a person whether they are walking normally, crouching, or trying to hide their figure. This ensures that you only receive alerts for genuine security concerns, providing zero false alarms even in a busy village environment. You can trust that when your phone pings, it’s something that actually requires your attention.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. For Lampeter residents, this is incredibly useful for checking on your property while you're at work or away. You can ask, 'Was there any unusual activity last night?' or 'Did the delivery arrive this afternoon?' The AI will scan your footage and give you a concise summary, saving you from scrolling through hours of video. It’s like having a personal security guard who knows your property inside out and can give you an instant report whenever you need it.
