Standard CCTV is a passive recording tool that only helps after a crime has been committed, whereas scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent incidents. Our MotionX technology is the key difference; it uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means it ignores the wind blowing through the trees in the Dulais Valley or animals moving across your garden, focusing only on genuine human threats. Unlike traditional systems that require manual setup of zones, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, it doesn't just record; it actively intervenes with light and voice deterrents to stop intruders in their tracks, providing a level of security that passive cameras simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is highly flexible and can work with most existing wired IP camera systems. If you already have cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink installed at your Seven Sisters home, our Intelligence Hub can often take control of them, transforming them from 'dumb' recorders into part of an intelligent AI network. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will verify your hardware's compatibility. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI protection without the expense of replacing all your existing equipment, making scOS a smart and sustainable choice for enhancing your home's security.

scOS uses a powerful three-tier approach to deterrence. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic your typical home activity—like turning lights on and off—to make your house look occupied even when you're away. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which accurately identifies people regardless of their movement or if they are wearing masks or hoods. The final layer is Active Intervention: if an intruder crosses your boundary, the system triggers external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates high-intensity lighting. This escalating response is designed to convince any intruder that they have been spotted by a live monitor, usually causing them to leave immediately.

We take your privacy very seriously, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Your data is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub for immediate response, with more complex AI tasks handled by our secure UK-based cloud servers. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring your personal information and footage are never sold or shared. You have total ownership of your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks and accessible only to you via our secure app. By keeping everything within the UK, from our data centres to our support staff, we provide a level of data security and privacy that international competitors cannot match.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole, whereas scOS is a comprehensive security solution for your entire property. Doorbells often suffer from 'notification fatigue' due to false alarms and only monitor a small area near your front door. In contrast, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using MotionX to eliminate false alerts. While a doorbell records someone at your door, scOS is designed to stop them from getting there in the first place through proactive deterrents like presence simulation and voice warnings. Additionally, scOS uses professional wired connections, making it immune to the Wi-Fi jamming techniques that can easily disable standard video doorbells.

In more isolated locations like Seven Sisters, police response times can naturally be longer than in major towns. scOS bridges this gap by providing an immediate, automated response the moment a threat is detected. By using voice deterrents and lights to challenge intruders at the boundary, the system often scares them off before they can do any damage. If an incident does occur, scOS provides the South Wales Police with high-quality, continuous 24/7 footage and AI-driven insights, such as vehicle recognition, which are far more effective for investigations than the short, often-missed clips provided by standard home security systems.

Yes, scOS is excellent at identifying suspicious behaviour, including 'Covered Face Detection.' Our AI is trained to recognise the human form even when someone is wearing a balaclava, hood, or mask. Unlike traditional systems that might lose track of a person if their face isn't visible, scOS focuses on movement patterns and physical characteristics. If someone is lurking on your property with their face concealed, scOS will immediately flag this as high-priority suspicious activity and can trigger an escalating response to deter them, ensuring that your Seven Sisters home is protected against even the most prepared intruders.

Managing scOS is incredibly simple thanks to 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI. You don't need to be a tech expert to get the most out of your system; you can simply ask it questions in plain English. For example, you could ask, 'Director, were there any delivery vans here this morning?' or 'Show me any activity near the back gate from last night.' The system will instantly find and present the relevant footage. This makes scOS much more accessible than traditional systems, where you might have to spend hours manually searching through timestamps to find a specific event.
