Standard CCTV is passive; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is proactive home intelligence. While traditional systems rely on 'motion masks' that you have to draw manually (and which often fail), our MotionX technology automatically understands your property boundaries. It ignores 'noise' like spiders, wind, or foxes, focusing only on 'important activity.' When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. Using external IoT speakers and automated lighting, it delivers escalating warnings to deter intruders before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including 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 existing hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video locally before escalating critical data to our UK cloud, giving your old cameras the power of MotionX detection, vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents without needing a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your normal internal activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the home appear occupied. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies 'important activity' instantly, recognising people even if they are hooded or trying to hide their shape. Third is Active Intervention: if someone enters your property boundary, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By detecting and challenging a person the moment they step onto your land, scOS removes the element of surprise and forces the intruder to move on.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All video processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub. When an event requires AI analysis, data is sent to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data, and you retain full control over your recordings. You can access your 24/7 footage—stored for up to two weeks—from anywhere in the world via our secure app. Because we use wired connections rather than easily-jammed Wi-Fi, your data transmission is more stable and secure against local interference or hacking attempts.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary using MotionX technology. It doesn't just show you a crime in progress; it stops it from happening by intervening the moment a threat is detected at the edge of your property. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection, scOS provides a level of professional security that a consumer-grade doorbell simply cannot match. It’s total property protection versus a single-point camera.

With Tonyrefail's crime rate sitting above the national average, passive recording isn't enough. scOS uses an Escalating Response system. If someone enters your property, the system first illuminates the area. If they persist, it delivers a clear voice warning via external IoT speakers. This immediate, automated challenge is designed to startle and deter intruders before they can attempt a break-in, providing a level of active protection that standard alarms or cameras simply can't offer.

Yes, scOS is highly effective at identifying suspicious behaviour even when someone is trying to hide. Our AI is trained to detect covered faces—such as those wearing balaclavas, masks, or pulled-up hoods. When such a threat is detected in Tonyrefail, the system immediately flags it as high-priority and can trigger the most authoritative level of voice deterrent and lighting response, ensuring the intruder knows they have been identified despite their concealment.

scOS is 100% UK-based, from our headquarters to our data centres. This means Tonyrefail residents get local support and the peace of mind that their data is protected by UK GDPR laws. We never sell your data to third parties. Our Intelligence Hub processes your video locally first, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced AI analysis, ensuring your privacy is maintained while providing world-class security intelligence.

Our professional installation team handles everything. A typical install in Tonyrefail takes between 4 and 6 hours. We use high-quality wired connections to ensure your system is 'un-jammable' and always online. Our engineers will set up your cameras, the Intelligence Hub, and the external IoT speakers, then walk you through how to use the app and scOS Director, leaving you with a fully proactive security system by the end of the day.
