Traditional CCTV is purely passive—it records what happens, but criminals commit crimes anyway. scOS is actively defensive. While standard cameras watch and record, scOS uses MotionX AI to intelligently monitor your property 24/7, detecting threats in real-time. More importantly, it automatically intervenes: when threats are detected, scOS can activate Presence Simulation to make intruders believe someone's home, trigger loud alarms, activate bright lights, and alert your chosen response team. Your current CCTV gathers evidence after a crime happens. scOS prevents the crime from happening in the first place.

Yes. scOS works with most wired IP cameras that are currently installed on your property. The Intelligence Hub—a small device that runs all the AI features—connects to your existing cameras and starts protecting you immediately. You don't need to replace everything. If you have older analog cameras or cameras with outdated network protocols, we can discuss upgrades during your free security assessment, but our goal is to work with what you already have where possible.

scOS uses three integrated layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation makes it appear that someone is always home—lights turn on and off in patterns that mimic occupancy, and when motion is detected during suspicious times, the system activates visible deterrents. Second, MotionX AI constantly watches for actual threats and suspicious behavior patterns that standard motion sensors miss. Third, when a real threat is detected, scOS triggers automatic interventions: loud alarms, bright floodlights, and notifications to your security team. Criminals want easy targets—a property that responds aggressively the moment they're spotted isn't an easy target. scOS makes your home the property they skip and move on from.

Your footage and data are stored exclusively in UK data centres, not in the cloud or overseas. scOS is fully GDPR compliant, and you maintain complete control over your data. The Intelligence Hub can process video locally for immediate threat detection and response, while cloud processing handles deeper analysis and pattern recognition. Your privacy is protected by UK law and our commitment to ethical AI security.

A video doorbell is reactive—it shows you who's at your door, and by then they're already there. scOS is proactive—it detects and stops threats before they reach your door. Doorbells only monitor your entrance; scOS protects your entire property with multiple cameras, AI analysis, and automatic responses. More critically, a doorbell doesn't deter crime in progress—it just records the criminal's face. scOS deters crime from happening at all through automated presence simulation, alarms, lights, and active intervention. You want to know who tried to break in? scOS makes sure they don't try in the first place.

The Intelligence Hub is a small device installed at your property that powers all of scOS's AI features—it's the brains behind the system. For professional installation, our technicians will set it up, integrate it with your cameras, test everything, and make sure it's working perfectly. If you're tech-confident, self-setup is available with full support from our team. Either way, once it's installed, you have 24/7 intelligent protection. Professional installation is recommended for most properties but isn't mandatory.

scOS detects and responds to genuine threats in seconds. The moment MotionX AI identifies suspicious activity, the system can immediately trigger alarms, activate lights, record high-quality footage, and alert your security response team. There's no delay from waiting for a human to watch footage—the Intelligence Hub makes instant decisions based on real-time threat analysis. For Swansea properties where crime rates are elevated, that speed of response is critical.

Let's be honest—scOS requires an internet connection for AI features to work. If your internet goes down, the Intelligence Hub can still record video locally from your cameras, but the AI monitoring, threat detection, and automatic response features won't function until your connection is restored. We recommend a reliable broadband connection with a router in a central location. Most properties see no issues, but internet availability is something to confirm before installation.

scOS pricing is simple and transparent—you pay per camera, from just 63p per day. The cost covers 24/7 AI monitoring, automatic threat response, and access to the Intelligence Hub. There are no hidden fees, no charges based on your property size, and no surprise costs. During your free security assessment, we can discuss which cameras you need and give you an exact price for your Swansea home.

Yes. scOS is ideal for buy-to-let properties in Swansea where landlords want to protect their investment without making permanent structural changes. The system can be installed professionally or by you, and it requires only standard wired IP cameras and a broadband connection. Many buy-to-let investors use scOS to reduce insurance costs and provide tenants with reassurance about property security.

scOS can integrate with many existing security and smart home systems. The Intelligence Hub can trigger actions like unlocking doors, activating additional alarms, or notifying smart devices. During your security assessment, we'll review your existing setup and show you exactly how to integrate scOS with what you already have. If you don't have a smart home setup, scOS can work entirely standalone.

Yes. You can view live camera feeds and threat alerts from the mobile app or web dashboard from anywhere in the world. You get instant notifications when MotionX detects suspicious activity, and you can watch exactly what triggered the alert. For serious threats, your response team is automatically notified at the same time you are.
