Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian that intervenes before a crime occurs. Our proprietary MotionX technology is the heart of this difference. Unlike standard systems that trigger on any movement—leading to endless false alarms from spiders, wind, or shadows—MotionX identifies 'important activity'. It recognises the specific patterns of human behaviour, whether someone is walking normally, crouching, or trying to hide their figure. Because it understands what it sees, it can trigger automatic responses like instant lighting or voice warnings without you needing to lift a finger. There are no 'motion masks' to draw; the AI automatically understands your property boundaries and starts protecting you the moment it's installed.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub provides the local processing power needed for our AI to analyse your footage in real-time. By upgrading your existing setup, you get the full suite of scOS features—like MotionX and Presence Simulation—without the cost of replacing every camera on your Ponthir property.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your typical internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home look occupied to anyone scouting the area. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your boundary—even if the intruder is wearing a mask or a hood. Finally, the system uses active intervention. If a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just send a notification; it takes action. It can instantly flood the area with light and deliver authoritative voice warnings through external IoT speakers. These aren't pre-recorded loops but AI-driven responses that escalate if the intruder persists, effectively 'talking' them off your property before they ever reach your door.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub at your home handles the initial AI analysis locally, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced processing or remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. You can access this footage securely from anywhere in the world, knowing that your home's intelligence stays between you and your system.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your driveway, scOS monitors your entire boundary. It identifies a potential intruder the moment they step onto your land, not just when they reach the entrance. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop the crime. While a doorbell might capture a video of a package being stolen, scOS uses its escalating voice deterrents and lighting to prevent the thief from approaching in the first place. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a security guard.

Ponthir is a popular residential village for those working in Newport or Cwmbran, making it a target for criminals who look for 'soft' commuter homes. scOS is designed to make your home the hardest target in the village. Our Presence Simulation makes your home look active even when you're at the office, and our proactive AI deterrents ensure that any intruder is identified and warned off long before they can do any damage. It provides a level of security that standard local firms simply cannot match.

Yes, you can access your scOS system from anywhere via our secure app. You can view live footage, review 24/7 recordings, and even use scOS Director to ask questions about what's happened at home while you've been away. If the system detects a genuine threat, you'll receive an instant notification, but more importantly, you'll know that scOS is already taking action with lights and voice warnings to protect your property.

scOS is fully compliant with UK law and GDPR. Our AI focuses on 'important activity' within your property boundaries. While the cameras may see the street, the AI is trained to ignore public activity and only trigger deterrents when someone enters your land. This ensures you are protecting your home effectively while respecting the privacy of your neighbours in Ponthir. All data is stored securely in the UK, giving you total peace of mind.
