Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records your property being burgled but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. 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' only. It recognises people and vehicles with surgical precision, meaning no more annoying false alarms on your phone. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. When a genuine threat is detected, the system can automatically trigger external lights and voice warnings to deter the intruder before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

In most cases, yes. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with them seamlessly. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering our AI over your existing cameras, you get all the benefits of MotionX detection and proactive deterrents without needing to replace every piece of glass on your house. This makes upgrading to a truly intelligent home security system both cost-effective and efficient for Llandudno residents.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you're away. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces immediately, regardless of how an intruder tries to hide. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If someone enters your property boundaries, scOS triggers escalating responses, from turning on floodlights to delivering authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. Unlike a standard alarm that rings after the break-in, scOS is designed to make a criminal decide your home isn't worth the risk before they ever touch a window.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global brands that ship your footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response, and then securely backed up to our UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your video feeds and personal information remain your property. We never sell your data, and our encryption standards are of the highest grade. You have total control over who sees your footage and for how long it is stored (up to 14 days of 24/7 recording), giving you peace of mind that your home's privacy is never compromised.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a slow sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back garden. More importantly, scOS is proactive. A doorbell won't stop a burglar from smashing a side window, but scOS will detect them the moment they step onto your land and use voice deterrents to scare them off. It’s a comprehensive security solution that protects every inch of your home, not just the front mat.

Llandudno's crime rate is significantly higher than the national average, which means a passive camera system simply isn't enough. You need a system that actively intervenes. scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens. By using MotionX to detect suspicious activity and then triggering immediate voice warnings and lights, scOS makes your property a 'hard target.' In an area with high property crime, this proactive approach is the most effective way to protect your home and family.

Llandudno is a busy tourist destination, and many properties are used as holiday lets. scOS is perfect for this because our Presence Simulation feature makes a property look occupied even during the off-season. You can also use the scOS Director AI to check on your property remotely, asking questions like 'Was there any activity at the back door last night?' This gives you total peace of mind, whether you're in town or miles away.

Yes, scOS features Covered Face Detection. If the AI identifies someone approaching your property with their face concealed by a hood, mask, or balaclava, it immediately flags this as suspicious. The system can then trigger an escalating response, such as a voice warning that says, 'You are being monitored by AI security,' which is often enough to deter someone who is trying to hide their identity. This is a vital feature in areas with higher crime rates like Llandudno.
