Traditional CCTV is passive; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive AI system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' rather than just simple motion. This means no more false alarms from the wind or animals in your garden. When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record—it intervenes. Using external IoT speakers and automated lighting, it challenges intruders the moment they cross your property boundary. It’s an active security presence that works 24/7 to protect your home in rural Newport, ensuring you aren't just watching a crime happen, but preventing it entirely.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will integrate your existing hardware with our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network capable of MotionX detection and proactive deterrents. It’s a cost-effective way for residents in the Newport area to upgrade to world-class AI security without the need for a completely new set of cameras, provided your current system meets the necessary technical standards.

scOS deters criminals through three powerful layers. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns while you're out—essential for isolated rural properties. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders instantly, even if they are wearing masks or hoods, by focusing on movement patterns rather than just facial features. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: if someone enters your property, external IoT speakers deliver AI voice warnings and lights flash to signal they've been spotted. This escalating response removes the anonymity criminals rely on.

We take your privacy seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. Unlike other brands that might sell your data or store it overseas, we are fully GDPR compliant and ensure your footage remains yours. The system uses a 'Local + Cloud' approach: the Intelligence Hub processes data locally for instant response, while the cloud provides secure backup and remote access. You have full control over your recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks, giving you peace of mind that your Newport property is protected privately.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your boundaries, side gates, and back gardens. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the intruder before they even reach your door. Furthermore, scOS uses wired connections that can't be jammed like common WiFi doorbells. For residents in rural Newport, where properties often have larger gardens or are more spread out, a comprehensive AI system offers far superior protection than a simple doorbell camera.

In rural areas around Newport, police response times can sometimes be longer than in the city centre. This makes the 'Active Intervention' phase of scOS vital. Because the system uses voice deterrents and light responses to actively challenge intruders, it often scares them off before they even attempt to enter the building. By the time a crime would have been committed, scOS has already identified the threat, recorded the evidence, and driven the intruder away. It provides a self-sufficient layer of security that doesn't rely solely on an immediate physical police presence.

Rural properties often have larger gardens or complex boundaries that traditional 'tripwire' systems struggle with. scOS uses AI to automatically detect your property lines without any manual setup. This is particularly useful for homes with irregular perimeters or those backing onto open fields. The system understands where your land ends and public space begins, ensuring that a walker on a nearby path doesn't trigger an alarm, but someone stepping over your fence immediately activates the escalating response. This 'set and forget' boundary detection is perfect for the varied landscapes found in rural South Wales.

Absolutely. We understand that the Welsh weather can be challenging. That's why we use high-quality, professional-grade wired cameras and IoT speakers that are built to withstand heavy rain and wind. During our professional UK installation, we ensure all cabling is properly weather-sealed and hardware is securely mounted. Because scOS relies on wired connections rather than WiFi, you also don't have to worry about signal interference from thick stone walls or stormy weather, ensuring your system remains reliable year-round in rural Newport.
