Every time you leave home, there's that nagging worry. Did I lock up properly? Is someone watching the house? You shouldn't have to feel anxious about your own home.
Something happened in the garden last night. Now you're scrubbing through 8 hours of footage trying to find 30 seconds of activity. Life's too short for this.
Your phone buzzes constantly. A cat. Cobwebs. Headlights. After a while you stop checking, which defeats the entire point of having cameras.
Not motion. Not shadows. scOS detects the kind of activity a trained security guard would notice. When your phone buzzes, it matters.
Family, friends, the builder—scOS learns who belongs. No repetitive alerts for familiar faces. Only strangers trigger attention.
Message scOS for pre-edited clips across all cameras, or ask when the bin was last emptied. It's like having staff you can actually talk to.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Risca
Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Using our MotionX technology, it identifies 'important activity'—like a person prowling—while ignoring 'noise' like wind or animals. Unlike traditional systems that require manual 'zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, it doesn't just record; it actively intervenes with lights and voice warnings to drive intruders away before they can cause damage.
Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have cameras installed at your Risca home, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them, turning your 'dumb' cameras into a smart, proactive AI system. Our professional installers will assess your current setup during the installation process to ensure everything is optimised for our MotionX detection.
scOS uses a three-tier deterrent strategy. First, 'Presence Simulation' mimics your internal activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you're in Newport or Cardiff. Second, MotionX AI detects intruders at your boundary, even if they are trying to hide their identity with a mask. Third, the system triggers an escalating response: instant lighting followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach is designed to stop criminals in their tracks.
Your data security is paramount. scOS is 100% UK-based, from our support teams to our data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your footage is never sold or shared with third parties. Processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy, with secure cloud escalation for remote access. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to 14 days.
Video doorbells are often reactive and easily bypassed by entering through a back garden or side gate. They also rely on WiFi, which can be easily jammed by modern burglars. scOS is a hardwired, whole-property solution that monitors every angle of your home. It doesn't just tell you someone is there; it proactively stops them from approaching, providing a much higher level of security than a simple doorbell camera.
Risca's unique valley topography can sometimes create 'blind spots' or tricky angles for traditional motion sensors. scOS's MotionX AI is specifically designed to handle these challenges, recognising human forms and movement patterns regardless of the terrain or camera angle. Because it doesn't rely on simple motion masks, it provides reliable protection for homes on hillsides or with tiered gardens without the frustration of constant false alarms.
Yes, scOS features advanced 'Covered Face Detection.' If the AI identifies someone on your property whose face is intentionally obscured by a balaclava, mask, or pulled-up hood, it treats this as a high-priority threat. The system will immediately escalate its response, using lights and voice deterrents to let the individual know they have been spotted, which is a powerful way to discourage professional criminals.
scOS Director is our conversational AI interface. Instead of hunting through hours of video, you can simply ask it questions like, 'Director, was there any unusual activity near the garage last night?' or 'Did the courier deliver my package this morning?' It understands natural language and provides instant answers based on its analysis of your property's activity, making managing your home security as easy as having a conversation.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
