Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or what they are wearing, without the need for complex motion masks. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. By detecting threats at your property boundary, it can trigger automatic light responses and voice warnings to stop an intruder before they ever reach your door, turning your cameras from a witness into a deterrent.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering our AI over your existing cameras, we provide a cost-effective way to upgrade to world-class home intelligence without needing to replace every piece of hardware on your property. This allows you to keep the equipment you've already invested in while gaining the proactive protection of scOS.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied to anyone watching. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the very edge of your property boundary. Unlike standard systems, it isn't fooled by disguises or unusual movement. Third is Active Intervention. When a genuine threat is detected, the system triggers an escalating response, starting with instant illumination and followed by authoritative warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, AI-driven response signals to criminals that they have been spotted and that the home is actively defended.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your footage and personal information remain your property and are never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that home security should never come at the cost of your personal privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence that stops crime before it happens. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that understands the difference between a delivery driver and a loiterer. Furthermore, doorbells rarely offer proactive deterrents. scOS uses escalating voice warnings and light responses to drive intruders away from your property entirely. It’s the difference between seeing a package thief on camera and ensuring the thief never feels comfortable enough to step onto your driveway in the first place.

Parc-Seymour’s location near the M4 and A48 makes it an attractive target for criminals who want a quick escape route. scOS counters this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs every vehicle that enters your property and checks it against official databases. This allows the system to flag suspicious or cloned plates instantly, giving you an early warning before an intruder even steps out of their car. It’s a powerful tool for protecting your home in a high-access area like the M4 corridor.

Many Parc-Seymour residents commute to Newport, Cardiff, or Bristol. scOS is the perfect companion for commuters, offering Presence Simulation that makes your home look occupied throughout the day. By recreating the natural patterns of a lived-in home, scOS deters burglars who might be scouting the area during work hours. You can also use our scOS Director AI to get a quick update on your home's security at any time, giving you total peace of mind while you're at the office.

scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and we have dedicated installation and support teams covering South Wales. For Parc-Seymour residents, this means you get expert, local service from engineers who understand the specific security needs of the Gwent area. Our installations are professional, tidy, and typically completed in just 4-6 hours, ensuring your home is protected by the most advanced AI security in the UK with minimal disruption.
