Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, providing you with a video of a person in a mask after your valuables are gone. scOS is proactive home intelligence. Our system uses MotionX technology, which doesn't just look for 'motion' like old systems that get triggered by spiders or wind. Instead, it identifies 'important activity'—specifically recognising people and vehicles with near-zero false alarms. Because it understands what it's seeing, it can intervene before a break-in occurs. While your old system waits for you to check the footage, scOS is actively monitoring your St Asaph property, ready to deploy lights and voice warnings the moment a boundary is breached. It’s the difference between a witness and a digital security guard.

Yes, in most cases we can. scOS is brand agnostic, meaning we can transform 'dumb' wired IP cameras from manufacturers like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti into an intelligent AI-driven network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. If your cameras are wired and compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video locally before escalating critical data to our UK cloud. This means you don't have to strip out your existing investment to get world-class AI protection. We give your current cameras the 'brain' they’ve been missing, allowing them to detect covered faces and recognise family members.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy to stop criminals before they reach your door. First is Presence Simulation: our AI learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making your house appear occupied to anyone watching from the street. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a threat the moment they step onto your property boundary—even if they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Finally, we use Active Intervention. Unlike systems that just record, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and instant illumination. This immediate, intelligent response signals to the intruder that they have been spotted by a live system, usually causing them to flee before any damage is done.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the 'thinking' locally on your property, only escalating to the cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote alerts. Your footage and data are yours alone; we never sell user data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible anywhere in the world via our secure app. You get the power of AI without sacrificing the privacy of your home life.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. By then, it's often too late. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back fence. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime, not just record it. While a doorbell might send a notification to your phone while you're busy, scOS automatically intervenes with voice deterrents and lighting. It’s a comprehensive security ecosystem that protects every corner of your home, ensuring that by the time a criminal gets near your door, they’ve already been told to leave.

St Asaph's proximity to the A55 makes it accessible for transient crime. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition feature is specifically designed for this. It doesn't just see a car; it checks the registration against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a known suspicious history enters your driveway, scOS flags it immediately. This allows you to be alerted to potential 'scouting' activity before a crime is even attempted, providing an extra layer of security for residents in North Wales.

Absolutely. North Wales Police, like many forces, can respond more effectively when provided with high-quality, actionable intelligence. scOS provides 24/7 recording with up to two weeks of history, all stored in high definition. Because our MotionX AI filters out false alarms, any footage you hand over will be of 'important activity.' Furthermore, our scOS Director allows you to ask natural questions like 'Show me any white vans from Tuesday,' making it incredibly easy to find and export evidence for the police if an incident occurs nearby.

Yes. We understand that Welsh weather can be unpredictable. Our professional UK installation ensures that all external components, including the IoT speakers and any new cameras, are weather-rated and securely wired. Unlike wireless DIY systems that can fail in heavy rain or have their signals jammed, our wired-over-wireless approach ensures constant connectivity and reliability, regardless of the conditions in the Vale of Clwyd.
