Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your property being burgled. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop the burglary from happening. The core difference is our MotionX technology. Unlike standard motion detection that triggers for every cat or swaying branch, MotionX focuses on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or what they are wearing, and it understands your property boundaries automatically. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it intervenes with escalating light and voice responses to drive the intruder away before they can cause damage.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have a professional wired IP camera system (such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink), we can usually integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This 'brain transplant' turns your existing cameras into a high-intelligence AI network. Our professional UK-based installers will assess your current setup during the 4-6 hour installation process. This allows you to keep your existing hardware while gaining advanced features like person recognition, covered face detection, and the scOS Director conversational AI.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent system. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to make your home look occupied by mimicking your natural lighting patterns when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious activity at your property boundary with zero false alarms. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder persists, the system triggers automatic lights and authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. This escalating response makes it clear to the criminal that they are being watched by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

We take your privacy seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK, ensuring full GDPR compliance. We use a hybrid processing model where your Intelligence Hub handles the initial AI analysis locally for speed and privacy. Significant events are then escalated to our secure UK cloud, allowing you to access your 24/7 recordings from anywhere. Your data is yours alone; we never sell it to third parties, and you have complete control over your security footage.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers your front door. It tells you someone is there, but it doesn't stop them. scOS is a property-wide intelligence system. It monitors your entire perimeter and uses AI to identify and deter threats before they ever reach your door. Unlike doorbells, which are often wireless and can be jammed, scOS uses secure wired connections. scOS provides proactive protection—stopping crime through voice and light deterrents—rather than just providing a video of the crime after the fact.

Talgarth is a beautiful gateway to the Black Mountains, but the high volume of seasonal tourists and hikers can make it difficult to spot someone who doesn't belong. scOS solves this with Person Recognition. The system learns the typical behaviour of your family and regular visitors. It can distinguish between a hiker lost on the way to the Gliding Club and someone showing suspicious interest in your property, alerting you only when it matters.

The weather in the Brecon Beacons can be challenging for traditional CCTV, with fog and heavy rain often causing false alarms. Our MotionX technology is designed to ignore environmental factors like rain, wind, and mist. It focuses purely on human-shaped activity and movement patterns. This means you won't be woken up by alerts caused by a storm, but you will be notified the second a person enters your property, regardless of the visibility.

Dyfed-Powys Police cover a vast area, and response times in rural Powys can vary. This makes the proactive nature of scOS even more vital. By deterring the intruder yourself through our escalating voice and light responses, you prevent the crime from being completed. If you do need to involve the police, our scOS Director AI allows you to find and export clear evidence in seconds, helping them to identify and track suspects more effectively.
