Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which moves beyond simple motion detection that triggers for every spider or gust of wind. MotionX understands 'important activity,' recognising people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their figure. While standard systems wait for you to check an app, scOS intervenes automatically. It detects property boundaries without you needing to draw lines, and if a threat is detected, it uses escalating responses—from instant lighting to AI-driven voice warnings from external speakers—to stop the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes data locally before escalating to the cloud, giving your old cameras the power of MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive AI responses without the need for a total hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence that begins before a criminal even touches your property. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal lighting and activity patterns to make the house appear occupied when you're away, which is the most effective way to stop a burglary from being planned. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour and covered faces with zero false alarms. Finally, if an intruder persists, scOS initiates an Active Intervention. This isn't just a siren; it’s a smart response where external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings and lights illuminate the area, letting the intruder know they have been specifically identified.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Unlike many competitors who ship data to overseas servers, all our data centres are located right here in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your footage remains your property—we never sell or share your data. The system uses a hybrid approach: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes video locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for advanced AI analysis and 24/7 recording storage. You have total control over your data through the scOS app, where you can access up to two weeks of recorded history from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they’ve already pressed it or triggered a laggy notification. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front porch, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from back gardens to side alleys. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens. A doorbell won't simulate your presence inside the house or deliver an escalating voice warning to a trespasser in your garden. scOS provides professional-grade, wired reliability that can't be jammed like wireless doorbells, ensuring your Pontyclun home is protected 24/7.

Pontyclun is a popular base for Cardiff commuters, meaning many homes are empty during the day. scOS is specifically designed for this. Our Presence Simulation learns your home's internal activity patterns and mimics them while you're at work, making the house look occupied to any opportunistic thieves. You can also use the scOS Director to check in from your office, asking questions like 'Has anyone been at the front door today?' to get a natural language summary of all activity, ensuring you have total peace of mind while you're away.

Yes, scOS is smart enough to know the difference between a stranger and someone who should be there. Our Person Recognition doesn't use facial recognition; instead, it looks at behaviour and patterns. It can recognise your regular dog walker or the delivery person who comes every Tuesday. This means you won't be bothered by constant alerts for people you trust. However, if the system detects someone with a 'Covered Face' or someone exhibiting suspicious behaviour near your boundaries, it will alert you immediately and initiate its proactive deterrents.

South Wales Police value high-quality, verified evidence. Because scOS uses MotionX technology to eliminate false alarms, any alert it generates is a genuine event. The system records 24/7 in high definition to our secure UK cloud, providing the police with clear, actionable data. This is far more effective than the grainy, unverified footage from standard CCTV systems, making it much easier for local authorities to investigate and prosecute any incidents that occur on your property.
