Unlike traditional CCTV that simply records a crime for you to watch later, scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Most systems rely on 'motion detection' which triggers for every passing car or swaying branch, leading to 'notification fatigue.' Our proprietary MotionX technology ignores these distractions, focusing only on 'important activity' like a person approaching your property. It requires no manual 'tripwires' or 'zones' because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automated lighting and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub, you gain all the benefits of MotionX detection, presence simulation, and proactive voice deterrents without needing to replace your entire physical infrastructure. This makes upgrading to AI-driven security both cost-effective and efficient for Tir-y-berth homeowners.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied to anyone watching from the A469. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behavior or covered faces instantly, regardless of how an intruder moves. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This isn't just a notification on your phone; it’s an immediate response where external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings and lights illuminate the area. This escalating response is designed to make criminals feel watched and exposed, forcing them to leave before a break-in occurs.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security 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: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles initial detection locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. You retain full control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. We never sell your data to third parties, ensuring that what happens in your home stays private to you.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your front door. By the time you get the alert, a package might be gone or a lock might be tampered with. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, from your driveway to your back garden, detecting threats long before they reach an entry point. While doorbells often suffer from lag and 'fish-eye' distortion, scOS uses high-quality wired cameras and AI to provide a clear, actionable response. It doesn't just show you a crime; it actively works to prevent it from happening in the first place through automated intervention.

While Tir-y-berth and Glan-y-nant enjoy a lower crime rate than the national average, Gwent Police data shows that property crime still accounts for a significant portion of local incidents. Rural and semi-rural villages can often be targeted because criminals assume security is more relaxed than in the city. scOS ensures you don't become a statistic by providing a professional-grade AI shield. Our system is particularly effective at monitoring the quiet lanes and residential streets of the Rhymney Valley, ensuring that even if police response times vary, your home is actively defending itself the moment a trespasser is detected.

Absolutely. One of the standout features of scOS is our DVLA Vehicle Recognition. The system doesn't just see a car; it reads the registration and checks it against the DVLA database. This is incredibly useful for residents near the A469 who may be concerned about 'scouting' vehicles or cloned plates. If an unauthorised or suspicious vehicle lingers near your property or matches a pattern of concern, scOS Director can alert you immediately. You can even ask the system natural questions like, 'Has that white van been here before?' to get instant, conversational answers about activity around your home.

Traditional motion sensors are notorious for being triggered by pets, foxes, or even the wind blowing through the trees near the river. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically trained to ignore non-human movement. It recognises the 'human form' and 'important activity,' meaning it won't alert you to a cat crossing the lawn or a spider on the lens. This eliminates the 'crying wolf' effect of traditional alarms, so when you do get an alert from scOS, you know it’s something that actually requires your attention. This precision is what allows our system to offer zero false alarms.
