Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your property being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' rather than just movement. Unlike standard systems that trigger false alarms for spiders, wind, or foxes, MotionX is trained to recognise human behaviour and intent without needing complex motion masks. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it intervenes. By using automatic property boundary detection, the system knows exactly where your land begins and can trigger instant light responses or voice warnings from external IoT speakers to deter intruders before they reach your door. It transforms your security from a witness into a digital security guard that never sleeps.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a truly intelligent network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX AI and proactive deterrent features to your current setup. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI protection without the cost of replacing every camera on your property, provided they meet the necessary technical standards for high-definition streaming and wired connectivity.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy to stop crime before it happens. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the very edge of your property—even if the intruder is wearing a mask or hood. Finally, the system uses Active Intervention. If an intruder crosses your auto-detected boundary, scOS triggers escalating responses, starting with instant illumination and moving to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response signals to the criminal that they have been spotted by a live system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Unlike many competitors who ship data to overseas servers, all scOS data processing and storage happens within the UK. We use a hybrid approach: our Intelligence Hub processes most data locally on your property for maximum speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when advanced AI analysis or remote alerts are required. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data remains entirely yours; we never sell or share your footage with third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure, encrypted app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your front door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from ever reaching the porch. We monitor your entire property boundary, not just the front step, using AI that can distinguish between a neighbour walking their dog and a scout checking your windows. Furthermore, doorbells often rely on jam-able WiFi and have limited fields of view. scOS uses professional wired cameras and external IoT speakers to provide a proactive, escalating response that stops crime in its tracks, offering a level of security a doorbell simply cannot match.

Monmouth's prestigious properties are often under silent observation by criminals looking for high-value targets. scOS counters this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs the registration of every vehicle that enters your property's vicinity. If a vehicle is seen 'casing' your street or has been flagged for suspicious activity, scOS can alert you immediately. This proactive monitoring allows you to be aware of potential threats before they even step out of their vehicle, providing a vital early warning system for Monmouth residents.

Yes, scOS is ideal for the many period and historic homes in Monmouth. Our professional UK installation team is highly skilled at installing modern security systems in older buildings with minimal disruption. We ensure that all wiring is discreetly hidden and that the cameras are positioned to provide maximum coverage while respecting the architectural integrity of your home. Because scOS works with a wide range of camera brands, we can select hardware that blends seamlessly with your property's aesthetic.

Monmouth's location near the A40 makes it a target for transient crime. scOS uses MotionX AI to provide a 'perimeter shield' that is active 24/7. The system's Automatic Property Boundary Detection ensures that any unauthorised person approaching your home is immediately met with a light response and a voice deterrent. This immediate, autonomous intervention is often the only thing that stops a professional thief who is looking for a quick win before heading back to the main road.
