Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records footage for you to review after a crime has already happened. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that acts as a virtual guard for your Newtown home. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means scOS won't bother you with false alarms from wind or animals, but it will recognise a person even if they are trying to hide their face. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw 'zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries and uses lights and voice warnings to stop intruders before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be fully compatible with most existing wired IP camera systems, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. Our professional UK installation team can usually transform your current setup in just 4 to 6 hours. We connect your existing cameras to the scOS Intelligence Hub, which instantly upgrades them with our advanced AI capabilities. This means you don't have to invest in an entirely new set of hardware to benefit from MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and our proactive deterrent features. We turn your 'dumb' cameras into a truly intelligent security network.

scOS employs a powerful three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your property safe. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which mimics your daily activity patterns inside the house to make it look occupied even when you're away. The second layer is our MotionX AI, which detects suspicious activity the moment someone crosses your property boundary. If an intruder is detected, the third layer—Active Intervention—kicks in. This involves triggering external lights and delivering clear voice warnings through IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to let criminals know they are being watched and recorded, forcing them to leave before they can cause any damage.

Your privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We never sell your personal information or footage to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the AI analysis locally on your premises. This ensures lightning-fast response times and keeps your data private. Data is only escalated to our secure cloud when necessary for remote viewing or advanced analysis, giving you complete control over your home's security data at all times.

A video doorbell is a useful tool for seeing who is at your front door, but it's often too little, too late. scOS offers whole-property protection that goes far beyond the front step. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. Our system monitors your entire boundary and uses proactive deterrents like voice warnings and lights to stop crime before it happens. With scOS, you get a comprehensive security solution that includes vehicle recognition and presence simulation, providing a level of safety a doorbell simply cannot match.

With Newtown experiencing a property crime rate significantly higher than the national average, scOS is an essential tool for local homeowners. Our system is specifically designed to combat the types of opportunistic theft common in busy market towns. By using DVLA Vehicle Recognition to flag suspicious cars and MotionX to detect intruders regardless of how they are dressed, scOS provides a robust defence. The proactive nature of our system—stopping crime before it happens—is particularly vital in areas where police resources may be stretched across the large Dyfed-Powys area.

Newtown’s mix of residential and commercial areas can lead to high footfall near homes. scOS is perfect for this environment because our MotionX AI is trained to distinguish between normal activity (like someone walking past on the pavement) and suspicious behaviour (like someone loitering or crossing your boundary). You won't be bombarded with notifications every time a neighbour walks their dog. Instead, scOS only alerts you to 'important activity,' ensuring that when your phone pings, it’s something that actually requires your attention.

Absolutely. scOS includes Presence Simulation, which is a game-changer for frequent travellers. The system doesn't just turn lights on and off on a timer; it learns your actual habits and simulates human activity patterns inside your home. To an observer on the street, it looks like you are home moving from room to room. Combined with our 24/7 recording and the ability to ask the scOS Director natural questions about your property from anywhere in the world, you can enjoy your time away from Newtown with total peace of mind.
