Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is an active participant in your home's security. Our revolutionary MotionX technology moves beyond simple motion detection, which often triggers false alarms from spiders or wind. Instead, it focuses on 'important activity,' recognising people regardless of how they move or if they attempt to conceal their identity. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS works out of the box, automatically detecting your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is identified, the system doesn't just alert you; it intervenes with automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you already have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, we can likely transform those 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent scOS-powered network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your current cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX AI and proactive protection features to your existing setup. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the cost of replacing every camera on your property, provided they meet the necessary technical standards for high-quality video feed integration.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your normal internal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making your home appear occupied to any onlookers. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or person recognition (distinguishing family from strangers) the moment someone steps onto your property. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system initiates Active Intervention. This starts with instant illumination to let the intruder know they've been spotted, followed by escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These aren't just pre-recorded loops; they are AI-driven responses that grow more assertive if the intruder remains, effectively scaring them off before they ever reach your door.

Privacy and trust are at the core of scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR regulations. Unlike many international competitors, we never sell your data. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the heavy lifting locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced AI analysis or remote access. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. You can access your data from anywhere in the world, knowing it is protected by British privacy standards.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. More importantly, doorbells rarely deter a determined criminal who is already at your threshold. scOS identifies threats as they approach your boundary and uses presence simulation and escalating voice deterrents to ensure they never get close enough to ring the bell. It’s a comprehensive security solution that protects your whole home, outbuildings, and vehicles, rather than just monitoring your front mat.

Mostyn's coastal location means security hardware needs to be robust. While scOS is a software-driven intelligence layer, we recommend and install high-quality, wired IP cameras that are built to withstand the elements. Because scOS uses wired connections rather than Wi-Fi, you don't have to worry about signal interference from coastal weather or signal jamming. Our MotionX AI is also specifically designed to ignore environmental 'noise' like heavy rain, sea mist, or wind-blown debris, ensuring that your alerts are always accurate, regardless of the North Wales weather.

With crime rates in Mostyn significantly higher than the national average, North Wales Police are often dealing with a high volume of incidents. scOS acts as a force multiplier for your home. By proactively deterring intruders through voice warnings and light responses, the system often prevents a crime from being committed in the first place. If an intruder does persist, scOS provides high-definition, 24/7 recorded evidence that is invaluable for police investigations. Our 'scOS Director' conversational AI also allows you to quickly find specific events (e.g., 'Show me the man in the red hoodie from Tuesday') to provide rapid, actionable intelligence to officers.

For residents in Mostyn who may travel or have second homes in the area, Presence Simulation is a game-changer. scOS doesn't just turn lights on and off on a timer; it learns the actual patterns of life inside your home—when you're in the kitchen, when you're watching TV, when you go to bed. When you're away, it replicates these patterns using internal IoT devices, making the house look genuinely lived-in. This is the most effective way to prevent your home from being targeted by burglars who 'case' a street looking for empty properties. Combined with our 24/7 remote access, you can check on your Mostyn home from anywhere in the world.
