Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, but it does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person lurking near your windows—while ignoring irrelevant motion like swaying trees or foxes. Unlike standard systems that rely on easily-fooled motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries and intervenes the moment a threat is detected. It doesn't just watch; it acts by triggering lights and voice warnings to deter intruders before they even reach your door, providing a level of security that old-fashioned cameras simply cannot match.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence security 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 between 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our advanced AI, such as MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition, to your current setup, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement while vastly upgrading your protection.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage of an attempted break-in. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second, our MotionX technology spots suspicious behaviour instantly, even if an intruder is wearing a mask or trying to hide their figure. Finally, the system initiates an Active Intervention: if a threat persists, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and floods the area with light. This proactive approach ensures that criminals feel watched and exposed, usually forcing them to flee before any damage is done.

Your privacy is our absolute priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Unlike many competitors who send your footage to overseas servers, all scOS data is processed through our UK-based data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub in your home handles local tasks, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced AI analysis. You retain full control over your data at all times; we never sell your information, and your 24/7 recordings are stored securely for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door, but it rarely stops a determined criminal from entering through a side window or targeting your car. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring every angle of your home simultaneously. While a doorbell might send you a notification while you're asleep, scOS is already working to stop the crime through automatic light responses and voice deterrents. It’s the difference between having a record of a package being stolen and having a system that prevents the thief from ever stepping onto your driveway in the first place.

Tonna's position in the Neath Valley means many homes have gardens that back onto open land or hillsides. Traditional motion sensors struggle with this, often being triggered by wildlife or moving foliage. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically trained to ignore animals and wind-blown trees, focusing only on 'important activity' like a person approaching your boundary. This means you get zero false alarms, even in a semi-rural valley setting.

scOS is an all-weather system designed to handle the Welsh climate. Our Intelligence Hub and professional-grade cameras are built to operate reliably in heavy rain and mist, common in the valleys. Because we use wired connections rather than relying on Wi-Fi signals that can be degraded by thick stone walls or poor weather, your security remains constant 24/7, 365 days a year.

Yes, scOS is perfect for the many Tonna residents who commute to Neath, Swansea, or beyond. Our Presence Simulation feature learns your daily routine and mimics it while you're at work, turning lights on and off in a natural pattern. This makes your home look occupied throughout the day, deterring burglars who target empty houses during commuting hours.
