Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to intervene. Most systems use basic motion detection that triggers for every passing animal or swaying branch, leading to 'notification fatigue.' Our MotionX technology is different; it focuses only on 'important activity,' recognising people even if they are disguised or moving unusually. Unlike other systems, scOS doesn't require you to manually draw zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it uses external IoT speakers and automated lighting to warn the intruder off. It’s an active security presence that works to prevent the crime from happening in the first place.

scOS is designed to be highly compatible and can often breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have wired IP cameras from major brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional installation—which takes about 4-6 hours—our UK-based engineers will assess your setup. By linking your current cameras to the scOS Hub, you gain access to our advanced AI features like MotionX, DVLA vehicle recognition, and scOS Director without needing to replace every camera. This makes upgrading to a world-class, proactive security system both efficient and cost-effective for your Newport home.

We use a three-tiered approach to make your home an unattractive target. First is Presence Simulation: scOS learns your typical internal activity and mimics it when you're away, making your home look lived-in. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies genuine threats at your boundary instantly, ignoring the wildlife common in Shropshire. Third is Active Intervention: if someone lingers, the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers bright lights. This escalating response tells the intruder they are being monitored by an intelligent system, not just a camera, which is usually enough to make them leave immediately.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, meaning your data never leaves the country and is protected by strict UK GDPR regulations. Your Intelligence Hub processes data locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for storage and remote access. We never sell your data. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks. Whether you're at home in Newport or travelling, you can access your system with the confidence that your data is secure, private, and entirely under your control.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive protection for your entire property, including gardens and side entrances. While a doorbell is reactive—relying on you to see a notification and act—scOS is proactive. It detects threats at the boundary and intervenes automatically with lights and voice deterrents. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and presence simulation, scOS offers a level of intelligence and prevention that a simple doorbell camera cannot match. It’s the difference between seeing a package thief and stopping them from entering your property at all.

Newport's mix of residential areas and proximity to Harper Adams University means there are often unusual activity patterns, such as students moving at late hours. scOS MotionX is perfect for this environment because it learns your home's 'normal' behaviour. It can distinguish between a resident returning home late and a stranger loitering suspiciously. This reduces false alarms while ensuring that genuine anomalies are flagged immediately. You can even ask scOS Director, 'Has there been any unusual activity today?' for a quick AI-driven summary of your property's status.

Newport's semi-rural setting means local wildlife like foxes and badgers are common visitors to gardens. Traditional motion-sensing cameras would trigger constantly, but scOS MotionX is revolutionary. It is specifically trained to ignore animals and focus exclusively on 'important activity'—human movement and vehicle patterns. This means you won't be woken up by a fox in the middle of the night, but you will be notified instantly if someone is actually on your property. It provides true peace of mind without the frustration of constant false alerts.

Yes, scOS features advanced DVLA vehicle recognition. In a market town like Newport, vehicles scouting for opportunities often stand out. scOS checks registrations against the national database to identify cloned plates or vehicles that have been seen loitering near your home multiple times. You can ask scOS Director for a report on all vehicles seen on your driveway, providing you with clear data on who has been visiting your property. This is a significant deterrent for organised criminals who use vehicles to plan their crimes.
