Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is an active participant in your home's security. While standard systems rely on 'motion masks' that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It recognises people and vehicles with near-zero false alarms, even if an intruder is crawling or wearing a mask. Instead of just filming, scOS intervenes. It uses property boundary detection to spot threats the moment they step onto your land, triggering automatic light responses and AI-driven voice warnings from external speakers to stop a break-in before it happens. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have a modern, wired IP camera system—such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink—our Intelligence Hub can usually take over the feed and 'upgrade' your existing hardware with our advanced AI. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We transform 'dumb' cameras that simply record footage into intelligent sensors capable of proactive protection. By using your existing wired infrastructure, we ensure a stable, jam-proof connection that wireless DIY systems simply cannot match, providing a professional-grade security layer without necessarily needing to replace every camera on your property.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you’re away, acting as a powerful passive deterrent. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone crosses your property boundary—it isn't fooled by disguises or unusual movement. Finally, the system moves to active intervention. If a threat is detected, scOS triggers an escalating response, starting with instant illumination and moving to authoritative AI voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By making it clear to an intruder that they have been spotted and identified, scOS removes the element of surprise and forces them to retreat.

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: our Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the 'thinking' locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud when necessary for advanced analysis 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 your system from anywhere in the world, knowing that your home's intelligence remains strictly between you and your scOS system.

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 sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back fence. Our system is designed to stop crime before it reaches your front door. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection, scOS identifies threats much earlier and more accurately than a doorbell ever could. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and easily jammed; scOS uses professional wired connections and proactive AI intervention to ensure your home is protected, not just filmed.

Pwllheli has a crime rate significantly higher than the national average, making proactive security a necessity rather than a luxury. scOS is designed to handle high-risk areas by providing instant, autonomous intervention. The moment someone crosses your boundary, the system acts—turning on lights and issuing voice warnings. This immediate response is crucial in areas where police may be managing multiple incidents, ensuring your home is never a 'soft target.'

For second-home owners in Pwllheli, scOS is the perfect 'digital caretaker.' Our Presence Simulation makes your property look occupied year-round by mimicking your real activity patterns. If a threat is detected, you'll receive an instant alert on your phone, and you can use scOS Director to ask natural questions about the state of your property from anywhere in the world. It provides the security of a live-in guard without the cost.

Coastal weather can be brutal on electronics. scOS uses professional-grade, wired hardware that is far more durable than consumer-grade wireless cameras. Our MotionX AI is also trained to ignore the movement of heavy rain, sea mist, and wind-blown debris, ensuring that you only get alerted to genuine threats, not the Welsh weather.
