Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime before it happens. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every spider web or gust of wind, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only. It recognises people regardless of how they move or what they are wearing, meaning zero false alarms for you. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. By detecting a threat at the property boundary, it can trigger automatic light responses and voice deterrents to warn intruders off before they ever reach your door. It transforms your security from a digital witness into an active digital guard.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can breathe new life into your existing 'dumb' cameras. If you have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with them. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes just 4 to 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware. We transform these passive cameras into an intelligent network by routing their feeds through our local processing hub. This allows you to keep your existing investment while upgrading to world-class AI features like MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive voice deterrents without needing a full hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away, the system learns your normal internal lighting and activity patterns and replicates them, making your home look occupied to anyone scouting the area. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary—even if the person is trying to hide their face or change their silhouette. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system initiates an Active Intervention. This isn't just a silent alert; scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and illuminates the area with automatic light responses. This immediate, proactive feedback tells the intruder they've been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who send all your data abroad, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then backed up to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. This hybrid approach ensures that your system works even if the internet goes down, while providing you with 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings from anywhere in the world. We never sell your data, and you maintain full control over who can view your feeds. By keeping everything within the UK, we ensure the highest standards of data protection and provide you with the peace of mind that your private life stays private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door once they've already arrived. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system designed to stop a criminal before they even reach your doorstep. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that auto-detects your land lines. It doesn't just show you a recording of a package being stolen; it uses proactive deterrents like voice warnings and presence simulation to prevent the thief from approaching in the first place. Furthermore, scOS is professionally installed and wired, meaning it can't be jammed like many wireless doorbell cameras, providing a much higher level of professional-grade security.

Trawsfynydd’s location in the heart of Snowdonia means it faces some of the UK's most extreme weather. Standard motion-sensing cameras are useless in heavy mountain rain or mist, either failing to trigger or sending constant false alerts. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is engineered to ignore environmental factors like driving rain, fog, and wind-blown debris. It focuses solely on 'important activity'—human and vehicle movement. This ensures that even in a Snowdonia downpour, your system remains a reliable guardian, only alerting you when there is a genuine reason to be concerned.

For those with holiday lets or second homes in Trawsfynydd, keeping an eye on the property from afar is vital. scOS is the perfect solution for remote management. Our Presence Simulation feature makes the property look occupied even when it's empty between guests, while our 24/7 recording and secure UK cloud access allow you to check in from anywhere in the world. You can even use the scOS Director conversational AI to ask natural questions like 'Has anyone been to the back door today?' or 'What time did the cleaners arrive?', giving you total control over your property without needing to be there in person.

While Trawsfynydd is a peaceful village, the influx of tourists to the National Park can bring unwanted attention to local homes. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs every vehicle that enters your property. It checks registration plates against national databases to identify cloned plates or vehicles that shouldn't be there. This provides an extra layer of security in an area with high visitor turnover, ensuring that you have clear, actionable intelligence to share with North Wales Police if any suspicious activity occurs near your home.
