Traditional CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records a crime as it happens but does nothing to stop it. In New Tredegar, where the crime rate is significantly higher than the national average, you need a system that acts immediately. scOS is a proactive intelligence platform. Unlike standard systems that rely on "motion detection"—which often results in dozens of false alerts—scOS uses our proprietary MotionX technology. MotionX focuses exclusively on "important activity," meaning it recognises human behaviour and intent without needing you to draw complex motion masks. When the system identifies a genuine threat, it doesn't just record; it intervenes. It can automatically trigger external lighting and deliver escalating voice warnings through IoT speakers to deter an intruder before they even reach your door.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. If you already have a wired IP camera system installed at your New Tredegar property—whether it's Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, or Ubiquiti—our Intelligence Hub can usually take over the feed and "upgrade" those cameras with our advanced AI. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. We transform your "dumb" cameras into an intelligent network capable of MotionX detection and DVLA vehicle recognition. This means you don't have to strip out your existing investment to get world-class AI protection. We simply add the "brain" that your current system is missing.

scOS employs a sophisticated, multi-layered approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal approaches your property. The first layer is Presence Simulation. By learning your home's normal activity patterns, scOS can simulate human occupancy while you are away—adjusting internal lighting to make the house look lived-in, which is the most effective way to discourage burglars. The second layer is our MotionX detection. This AI-driven system identifies "important activity" with incredible precision, recognising people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries—which the AI auto-detects—the system initiates an Active Intervention. This starts with instant illumination, followed by escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive sequence is designed to convince any intruder that they have been spotted.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who ship your data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we believe that your data belongs to you. We never sell your footage or personal information to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible anywhere via our secure app. By keeping everything within the UK—from our support teams to our servers—we ensure that your home's security data is protected by the most stringent privacy laws.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it. In New Tredegar, where property crime is a significant concern, a doorbell simply cannot provide adequate protection. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It doesn't just watch the front door; it monitors your entire boundary using AI that auto-detects your property lines. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the crime from happening in the first place through presence simulation and active voice deterrents. Furthermore, scOS uses professional-grade wired cameras that cannot be jammed like wireless doorbells, providing a level of reliability that a consumer-grade device cannot match.

With a local crime rate of 97.40, New Tredegar residents need more than just a camera. scOS's Escalating Response feature is designed for high-risk areas. If an intruder ignores the initial light response, the system delivers progressively stronger voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This persistent, intelligent intervention is designed to make your property the most difficult and unattractive target in the area, forcing criminals to move on before they even attempt to enter your home.

Criminals often use masks, hoods, or balaclavas to avoid being identified by traditional CCTV. scOS features advanced Covered Face Detection. Our AI is trained to recognise when someone is intentionally concealing their identity. If a person with a covered face enters your property boundary, scOS flags this as a high-priority anomaly and can immediately trigger an active deterrent response. This ensures that even if an intruder is trying to hide their face, they cannot hide their suspicious behaviour from our system.

scOS provides Leicestershire Police with high-quality, actionable intelligence. Our system filters out thousands of hours of useless footage, providing only the "important activity" that matters to an investigation. With integrated DVLA vehicle recognition and clear, AI-enhanced imagery of suspicious individuals, scOS gives the police the best possible chance of identifying and apprehending criminals. By proactively deterring crime, scOS also helps to reduce the burden on local police resources, making New Tredegar a safer place for everyone.
