Traditional CCTV is passive; it only records what happens, leaving you to deal with the aftermath. scOS is a proactive AI system that aims to prevent crime before it occurs. The heart of our system is MotionX, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just movement. This means no false alarms from sheep, wildlife, or swaying trees in the Brecon Beacons wind. scOS automatically understands your property boundaries and monitors them without the need for manual setup. If a threat is detected, the system doesn't just record; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings from external speakers, providing a level of active protection that standard CCTV simply cannot offer to Llangattock residents.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. If you already have cameras installed at your Llangattock property, our Intelligence Hub can likely take control of them, instantly upgrading them with our advanced AI. During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your setup and ensure everything is integrated perfectly. This allows you to keep your existing hardware while gaining the benefits of MotionX, presence simulation, and proactive deterrents. We always recommend wired systems over wireless to ensure your security is never compromised by signal interference or jamming.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your daily activity—like turning lights on and off—to make your home look occupied even when you're away. Second is MotionX, our advanced AI that identifies suspicious behaviour and people, even if they are trying to hide their identity. Third is Active Intervention: when a threat is detected, scOS triggers automatic light responses and voice warnings through external IoT speakers. These layers work together to create a powerful deterrent, letting any potential intruder know that your home is protected by an intelligent, responsive system that has already spotted them.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike many other security companies, we never sell your data to third parties. Our Intelligence Hub processes your data locally for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You have 24/7 access to your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, and you can rest assured that your personal information and video feeds are protected by the highest standards of British cybersecurity.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and often only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive, whole-property protection. It monitors your entire boundary, including driveways and gardens, and uses AI to detect and deter intruders before they ever reach your door. While doorbells can be useful for seeing who's calling, they don't offer the proactive features of scOS, such as presence simulation and autonomous voice deterrents. For a home in Llangattock, where properties can be more spread out, scOS offers a much higher level of security by protecting every entry point, not just the front door.

Llangattock's beautiful, secluded location can sometimes mean longer response times from emergency services. scOS is designed to be your first line of defence. By using proactive deterrents like voice warnings and escalating light responses, the system often stops a crime in its tracks before the police even need to be called. Additionally, our MotionX technology is perfect for rural areas because it ignores the movement of local wildlife and livestock, ensuring that when you do get an alert, it's for something that truly matters.

Yes, scOS is built to withstand the varied British weather. Our Intelligence Hub and the cameras we recommend are designed for durability. More importantly, our MotionX AI is trained to ignore environmental factors like heavy rain, snow, or fog, which often trigger false alarms in lesser systems. This ensures that your Llangattock home remains protected regardless of the weather conditions in the Usk Valley, providing reliable security year-round.

Absolutely. Many properties in Llangattock have outbuildings, barns, or workshops that contain valuable equipment. scOS can easily be extended to cover these areas. Our AI will monitor these spaces just as it does your main home, using MotionX to detect any suspicious activity. If someone approaches an outbuilding at night, the system can trigger immediate deterrents, ensuring your entire property is secure. Because we use wired connections, you don't have to worry about Wi-Fi range issues reaching your more distant buildings.
