Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, but it does nothing to stop it. scOS is an active intelligence system that monitors your Porthmadog property in real-time. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing seagull or swaying branch, our MotionX technology focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It ignores environmental noise and recognises human presence regardless of how someone is moving or if they are trying to hide their face. Instead of just filming a burglar, scOS identifies the threat at the boundary and intervenes with light and voice warnings before they ever reach your door. It transforms your security from a digital witness into a proactive digital guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have a professional, wired IP camera system—such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink—our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with it. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Hub, we transform 'dumb' cameras that just record footage into 'intelligent' sensors capable of proactive intervention. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the cost of replacing every camera on your property, provided they meet the necessary technical standards for our AI processing.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your normal internal activity patterns and simulates them when you’re away, making your home look occupied to anyone scouting the area. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary—even if they are wearing a mask or moving stealthily. Finally, the system uses Active Intervention. If a threat is detected, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and activates instant illumination. Unlike a standard alarm that rings after a break-in, scOS makes it clear to the intruder that they have been spotted and identified long before they attempt entry.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy by design' approach. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike many consumer brands, we never sell your data or use it for advertising. The system uses a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles much of the heavy lifting locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for advanced AI analysis and remote access. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, ensuring you can access what you need from anywhere in the world while knowing your private life stays private.

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 PIR sensor. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a few square metres of your porch, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, from your driveway to your back fence. More importantly, scOS is proactive. It doesn't just send a notification to your phone while someone is kicking your door in; it uses AI to detect the approach and intervenes with voice and light to stop the crime from happening. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a full-time security team protecting every inch of your home.

Porthmadog is a beautiful coastal town, but the salt-heavy air can be brutal on standard electronics. During our professional installation, we ensure that all external components, including the IoT speakers and any new cameras, are rated for outdoor use in maritime environments. We use high-quality, wired connections rather than wireless, as salt air and coastal weather can interfere with Wi-Fi signals and corrode battery terminals. Our engineers are experienced in fitting systems that can withstand the North Wales elements, ensuring your proactive protection remains operational whether it's a calm summer evening or a stormy winter night on the Glaslyn estuary.

With Porthmadog being a popular location for second homes and holiday lets, many properties sit empty for weeks at a time. scOS is the perfect solution for this. Our Presence Simulation feature is specifically designed to make a property look lived-in by mimicking human activity patterns inside the home. Furthermore, our scOS Director AI allows you to check in on your property from anywhere in the world by asking natural questions like, 'Has anyone been near the back gate this week?' You get the peace of mind of a physical security presence without needing to be in North Wales yourself, and the system will alert you instantly if any genuine threats are detected.

While North Wales Police do an excellent job, rural and coastal towns can sometimes face longer response times during peak tourist seasons. scOS bridges this gap by providing immediate, automated intervention. The system doesn't wait for a human to look at a screen; it reacts the millisecond a boundary is breached. By using escalating voice deterrents and lighting, scOS often resolves the situation by scaring off the intruder before a police call is even necessary. If an incident does occur, you have high-quality, 24/7 recorded evidence and DVLA-verified vehicle data ready to hand over to the authorities to assist in their investigation.
