Standard CCTV is a passive recording device that only helps after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime in progress. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, scOS identifies 'important activity'—like a person stepping onto your property—while ignoring the seagulls and salt-spray common in Tenby. Unlike traditional systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, it doesn't just record; it reacts with escalating deterrents like lights and voice warnings, ensuring that intruders are sent packing before they can do any damage.

Yes, scOS is designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems. If your Tenby home already has cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can likely take control of them, turning 'dumb' video feeds into an intelligent, proactive security network. During our professional installation process, which takes about 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will integrate your current hardware into the scOS platform. This allows you to benefit from our advanced AI, such as person recognition and presence simulation, without the need to replace your entire existing camera setup.

scOS uses a triple-threat approach to deterrence. First, Presence Simulation makes your Tenby home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns—essential for second homes or when you're out for dinner at the harbour. Second, MotionX AI detects intruders instantly, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third, the system triggers Active Interventions: external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings while lights illuminate the area. This escalating response shows the intruder that the house isn't just 'watched' but is actively defended by an intelligent system that knows they are there.

We take data privacy seriously, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and escalated to our secure UK data centres for cloud features. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You have complete ownership and 24/7 access to your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. For Tenby residents, this means your home's intelligence is handled with the highest level of British data security, ensuring your private life stays private.

A video doorbell is a reactive gadget that only covers your front door. In a coastal town like Tenby, where properties often have multiple entry points or side access, a doorbell isn't enough. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring every boundary and detecting threats long before they reach your door. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS uses proactive deterrents to stop the thief from ever stepping onto your driveway. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a full-time security guard for your entire home.

Tenby’s unique status as a premier holiday destination means many homes are left empty for long periods. scOS is the perfect solution for second-home owners. Our Presence Simulation technology goes far beyond simple light timers; it replicates real human behaviour inside the house, making it look lived-in to any observer. You can also use 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, to ask natural questions like 'Has anyone been near the garage this week?' from anywhere in the world, giving you total peace of mind over your coastal investment.

Tenby's coastal environment can be harsh on electronics, with salt air and high winds. Unlike wireless DIY systems that can suffer from signal interference and battery drain in the cold, scOS uses professional-grade wired connections. This ensures a stable, 'unjammable' link between your cameras and the Intelligence Hub. Our hardware is ruggedised for UK weather, and because we use local processing combined with cloud backup, your security remains operational even if the coastal weather affects your internet connection temporarily.

Tenby can get busy, especially during the summer months. Traditional motion-sensing cameras would be constantly triggered by tourists walking past your property. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically tuned to ignore 'background' motion like pedestrians on the pavement or swaying trees. It only alerts you to 'important activity'—someone actually entering your property or loitering at your boundary. This means you won't be bothered by constant false alarms on your phone while you're trying to enjoy the sunshine or a meal at a local restaurant.
