Traditional CCTV is a passive system that simply records what happens, often leaving you with footage of a crime after it's already occurred. These systems are also prone to false alarms from pets or weather. scOS, however, is an active AI system. Our MotionX technology is designed to ignore 'noise' and only alert you to important activity, like people or vehicles. Most importantly, scOS is proactive. It uses automatic boundary detection to know when someone is on your property and can trigger immediate light and voice responses to deter them. It’s not just a camera; it’s an intelligent security system that works to prevent crime before it happens.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and can work with most existing wired IP camera systems. If you already have cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can integrate with them, upgrading your 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence AI network. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure everything is working perfectly. This allows you to get the benefits of scOS’s proactive AI, such as presence simulation and vehicle recognition, without needing to replace your entire existing system.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns while you're away. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious activity the moment someone enters your property. Third is Active Intervention: if the AI detects a threat, it can instantly trigger external lights and deliver voice warnings through IoT speakers. By identifying an intruder and vocally warning them before they even reach your house, scOS removes the element of surprise and anonymity that criminals rely on, effectively deterring them before they can cause damage.

Your data security is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike other systems that might send your footage to servers abroad, scOS ensures your data stays within the UK. We use a combination of local processing on your Intelligence Hub and secure cloud escalation. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. We never sell your data, and it is only accessible by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and usually only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS offers whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary, including driveways and gardens. While a doorbell is reactive, scOS is proactive, using AI to detect and deter intruders before they even get to your door. Additionally, scOS is a professionally installed, wired system, making it much more reliable than wireless doorbells which can be susceptible to signal jamming or battery failure. It’s a comprehensive security solution rather than just a single point of entry monitor.

Llanfyllin is a beautiful, rural town, but its isolation can mean that police response times are longer than in more urban areas. scOS provides an immediate, on-site response that doesn't wait for the police to arrive. By using escalating voice warnings and lights, the system often scares off intruders before they can even attempt to enter your home. This 'first line of defence' is crucial in rural locations, where the goal is to prevent the crime entirely, rather than just providing footage to the police after the fact.

Yes, scOS is ideal for rural properties with outbuildings, barns, or detached garages. Because our AI auto-detects property boundaries, it can protect your entire perimeter without you needing to draw complex motion masks. If someone approaches a shed or barn at an unusual hour, the system will recognise the anomaly and trigger a response—such as turning on lights or issuing a voice warning—just as it would for your main house. This is essential for protecting high-value equipment or livestock, providing a level of security that traditional 'house-only' alarms simply cannot offer.

Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition is a powerful tool for rural residents. It doesn't just see a car; it reads the registration and can check it against the DVLA database to identify cloned plates or suspicious vehicles. If a vehicle that doesn't belong to your family or known visitors lingers near your property, scOS can alert you. You can even ask the scOS Director, 'What cars have been here today?' to get a full report. This is an excellent way to keep track of unusual activity in the area and protect your own vehicles from theft.
