Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS transforms your security into a proactive 'digital guard' using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that trigger alerts for every swaying branch or passing cat, MotionX ignores environmental noise like spiders, cobwebs, and wind, focusing exclusively on 'important activity.' It recognises human forms regardless of how they move or if they attempt to conceal their figure. Because scOS understands what it's seeing, it can trigger automatic interventions—like activating external lights or voice warnings—the moment a boundary is breached. You move from having a digital witness to having a system that actively prevents an incident from escalating, all without the frustration of false alarms or the need to draw complex motion masks.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic and works seamlessly with most existing wired IP camera systems, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing 'dumb' cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can upgrade them with AI capabilities like MotionX detection and DVLA vehicle recognition. This allows you to benefit from state-of-the-art proactive protection without the expense of replacing your entire camera network. We prefer wired connections over wireless to ensure your security cannot be compromised by WiFi jamming, providing a robust, professional-grade foundation for your home's intelligence.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals before they even reach your door. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the property appear occupied. If a prowler is undeterred, our MotionX technology takes over, identifying 'important activity' and recognising human presence even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Once a threat is confirmed, the system initiates Active Intervention: instant illumination from external lights and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. This proactive approach ensures that an intruder is identified, challenged, and deterred long before they can attempt a break-in, providing a level of security that passive cameras simply cannot match.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy by design' approach. Your data is processed using a hybrid model: our Intelligence Hub handles initial detection locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK-based cloud for complex analysis and remote access. We are 100% UK-based, meaning all our data centres, support staff, and operations are governed by strict UK GDPR regulations. Your footage and data belong to you; we never sell user data to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible anywhere via our secure app. By keeping the intelligence local and the storage in highly secure UK facilities, we ensure your home's privacy is never compromised.

While a video doorbell is a useful tool for seeing who is at the front door, it is fundamentally a reactive device with a limited field of view. scOS provides whole-property intelligence that monitors every boundary, not just the porch. While a doorbell might alert you that someone is already stealing a parcel, scOS is designed to stop the crime from happening in the first place. Our system uses AI to detect suspicious behaviour across your entire perimeter, triggering deterrents like lights and voice warnings before a criminal even reaches your home. Furthermore, scOS offers professional-grade features like DVLA vehicle recognition and conversational AI (scOS Director), providing a comprehensive security ecosystem that a standalone doorbell simply cannot provide.

Rogerstone's proximity to the M4 and the busy commuter routes via Pye Corner makes it a target for opportunistic vehicle crime. scOS features integrated DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically scans the registration plates of vehicles entering your property boundaries. The system checks these against the DVLA database to identify potential cloned plates or vehicles that don't belong. If an unknown or suspicious vehicle lingers near your driveway, scOS can alert you immediately and even initiate a voice deterrent to let the driver know they are being monitored. This is particularly effective for residents who commute into Newport or Cardiff, providing peace of mind that their vehicles and property are being watched by an intelligent system that knows the difference between a delivery van and a threat.

Many homes in Rogerstone, particularly near the Afon Ebwy or the canal, have complex property lines that are difficult for traditional cameras to monitor without constant false alarms. scOS eliminates this problem with Automatic Property Boundary Detection. Our AI automatically learns where your property ends and public space begins, requiring no manual 'tripwires' or 'zones.' This means if someone steps off the public footpath and onto your driveway, the system knows instantly. It ignores activity on the road or pavement, focusing only on threats to your land. This precision is vital for Rogerstone residents who want robust security without being bombarded by notifications every time a neighbour walks their dog past the house.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security as if you were talking to a professional security guard. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask natural questions like, 'Was there anyone in the back garden while I was at work?' or 'Did a white van pull into the drive today?' The AI understands the context of your property and provides instant, accurate summaries of activity. For Rogerstone residents with busy lifestyles, this saves time and provides immediate clarity. Whether you're checking on a delivery or ensuring the kids got home safely from school, scOS Director makes managing your home intelligence effortless and intuitive.
