Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your Llanidloes home being burgled but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing sheep or swaying branch, our MotionX technology focuses only on 'important activity.' It understands the difference between a local resident and a stranger loitering by your property. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. By using property boundary detection, it knows exactly where your land starts and can trigger lights or voice warnings the moment an intruder crosses the line, often stopping a crime before it happens.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes 4-6 hours—our engineers will assess your current setup. We bypass the limited software on your old cameras and link them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub provides the local processing power needed for MotionX and boundary detection, effectively giving your old hardware a 'brain' transplant and bringing it up to modern AI standards.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy to keep Llanidloes properties safe. The first layer is Presence Simulation; when you're away, the system mimics natural human activity inside your home—turning lights on and off in a realistic pattern—to make the property look occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies a threat the moment they step onto your property, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide. The final layer is Active Intervention. If an intruder persists, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver a clear voice warning and illuminates the area. This escalating response removes the intruder's anonymity and makes your home a 'hard target.'

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many international brands that ship your footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. All initial intelligence processing happens locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub within your home. When a potential threat is detected, encrypted data is escalated to our secure UK-based cloud for further analysis and to ensure you can access your footage from anywhere. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, ensuring that your security data remains private and secure.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. In contrast, scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view and often misses activity at the side or rear of the house, scOS monitors your entire perimeter. More importantly, doorbells are passive—they might send you a notification while someone is kicking your door in, but they won't stop them. scOS identifies the threat at the boundary of your Llanidloes property and uses proactive warnings to stop the criminal before they ever reach your front door.

In rural Mid-Wales, police response times can be longer than in major cities. This makes the proactive nature of scOS vital. Our system doesn't just wait for the police; it takes immediate action to deter intruders using voice warnings and lights. By the time Dyfed-Powys Police arrive, the intruder has often already been scared off. Furthermore, scOS provides high-quality, AI-verified evidence that helps police prioritise calls. Because our system has zero false alarms, they know that an alert from an scOS-protected home in Llanidloes is a genuine incident requiring attention.

Llanidloes is a rural area where livestock and wildlife are part of daily life. Traditional motion-sensing cameras would be constantly triggered by sheep, cattle, or foxes. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically trained to ignore animals and focus only on human activity. It recognises the human form and behaviour, meaning you won't be bothered by false alerts from the local fauna. This allows you to keep your security high without the annoyance of constant, irrelevant notifications on your phone.

The weather in the Cambrian Mountains can be unpredictable and harsh. scOS is built for the UK climate. Our professional installation uses high-grade, wired connections rather than WiFi, which can be unreliable in thick stone walls or during heavy storms. All external components, including our IoT speakers and AI-linked cameras, are weather-rated to ensure they continue to provide proactive protection whether it's a clear summer night or a freezing Welsh winter. Your intelligence hub stays safe inside, processing data locally to ensure your security never goes offline.
