Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, often leaving you with nothing but footage of a masked intruder. scOS is proactive, using our MotionX technology to identify "important activity"—like a person loitering or a vehicle entering your drive—rather than just motion. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries and uses external IoT speakers and lighting to intervene the moment a threat is detected, stopping crime before it starts.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them into an AI-powered system. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it meets the technical requirements to support our advanced MotionX and vehicle recognition features.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're away. Second, our MotionX technology spots suspicious behaviour regardless of how an intruder moves or if they are wearing a mask. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination from external lights and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they are being monitored.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many "smart" home brands, we never sell your data. The system uses a hybrid approach where the Intelligence Hub processes data locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud for advanced analysis and remote access, ensuring you remain in total control of your footage.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a basic motion sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, recognises vehicles via DVLA databases, and detects suspicious activity like covered faces long before they reach your front door. While a doorbell is a reactive tool, scOS is a complete security solution designed to prevent a break-in from ever occurring.

Rhuddlan’s position as a historic hub and gateway to the coast means a lot of unfamiliar vehicles pass through. scOS uses DVLA Vehicle Recognition to identify every car that enters your property's boundaries. It can flag vehicles with cloned plates or those that have been seen "scouting" the area multiple times, giving you an early warning that standard CCTV simply cannot provide.

If you have a second home or holiday property in Rhuddlan, Presence Simulation is your best defence. The AI learns how a home is typically used and replicates those patterns—turning lights on and off in different rooms at natural times. This makes the property look occupied 365 days a year, significantly reducing the risk of it being targeted while it's vacant.

scOS Director allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask, "Was there any unusual activity last night?" or "Did the gardener come today?" and the AI will scan your footage and give you a verbal or text summary. It’s an incredibly efficient way to stay informed about your Rhuddlan property without having to scroll through hours of video.
