Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which moves beyond simple motion detection. While standard systems are plagued by false alarms from spiders, wind, or rain, MotionX focuses only on 'important activity.' It recognises human behaviour and figures regardless of how they are moving or if they are trying to hide. Because scOS understands what it is seeing, it can intervene automatically with light and voice deterrents the moment a boundary is crossed, rather than just giving you a video of the theft the next morning.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you have a modern, wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely transform them into an AI-powered security network. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your current 'dumb' cameras to the scOS Hub, we give them the ability to detect property boundaries, recognise vehicles via DVLA databases, and participate in our proactive deterrent protocols, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement while vastly upgrading your protection.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal reaches your door. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your normal internal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the home appear occupied. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary, even if the person is wearing a mask or hood. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat persists, the system triggers escalating responses. This includes instant illumination and clear voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. Unlike a simple alarm, scOS tells the intruder exactly what they are doing, proving they are being watched by an intelligent system, which is usually enough to make them flee.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who send all your data to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK data centres for cloud storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your data with third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. By keeping our company, support teams, and data infrastructure within the UK, we ensure your home's intelligence remains private and protected by British law.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell might capture a package thief, scOS is designed to stop the crime from happening in the first place. It monitors your entire property boundary, not just the front door, and uses proactive AI to intervene the moment someone steps onto your land. Furthermore, scOS is a hardwired system, meaning it cannot be defeated by the WiFi jamming devices that are increasingly used to bypass wireless doorbells and cameras. It offers professional-grade security rather than a consumer-grade gadget.

Llanbradach and the Rhymney Valley often feature homes with tiered gardens or steep driveways. Traditional motion sensors struggle with these angles, often missing activity or being triggered by cars on the road below. scOS uses advanced AI boundary detection that understands the 3D space of your property. It doesn't matter if your garden is on a slope; the AI accurately identifies where your land ends and the public space begins. This ensures that your deterrents only activate when someone is actually on your property, providing reliable protection for even the most uniquely shaped valley homes.

For Llanbradach residents commuting to Cardiff, leaving the home empty all day is a concern. scOS solves this with Presence Simulation. The system learns your daily habits—when you're in the kitchen, when the living room lights go on—and replicates these patterns while you're at work. To an outside observer, it looks like someone is home throughout the day. This active simulation is a powerful deterrent, as burglars are significantly less likely to target a home that appears to be occupied.

scOS is a UK-based company with professional installation teams covering South Wales and the Gwent area. We provide a full, single-day installation (4-6 hours) where we set up your Intelligence Hub and connect it to your cameras and external IoT speakers. We use wired connections to ensure maximum security and reliability, which is especially important in areas where wireless signals can be patchy. Our Gwent-based customers also benefit from our UK-based support team, ensuring that help is always available from someone who understands the local area.
