Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to intervene. Most systems use basic motion detection that triggers for every passing animal or swaying branch, leading to 'notification fatigue.' Our MotionX technology is different; it focuses only on 'important activity,' recognising people even if they are disguised or moving unusually. Unlike other systems, scOS doesn't require you to manually draw zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it uses external IoT speakers and automated lighting to warn the intruder off. It’s an active security presence that works to prevent the crime from happening in the first place.

scOS is designed to be highly compatible and can often breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have wired IP cameras from major brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional installation—which takes about 4-6 hours—our UK-based engineers will assess your setup. By linking your current cameras to the scOS Hub, you gain access to our advanced AI features like MotionX, DVLA vehicle recognition, and scOS Director without needing to replace every camera. This makes upgrading to a world-class, proactive security system both efficient and cost-effective for your Tredegar home.

We use a three-tiered approach to make your home an unattractive target. First is Presence Simulation: scOS learns your typical internal activity and mimics it when you're away, making your home look lived-in. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies genuine threats at your boundary instantly, ignoring the wildlife common in the Valleys. Third is Active Intervention: if someone lingers, the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers bright lights. This escalating response tells the intruder they are being monitored by an intelligent system, not just a camera, which is usually enough to make them leave immediately.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, meaning your data never leaves the country and is protected by strict UK GDPR regulations. Your Intelligence Hub processes data locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for storage and remote access. We never sell your data. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks. Whether you're at home in Tredegar or travelling, you can access your system with the confidence that your data is secure, private, and entirely under your control.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive protection for your entire property, including gardens and side entrances. While a doorbell is reactive—relying on you to see a notification and act—scOS is proactive. It detects threats at the boundary and intervenes automatically with lights and voice deterrents. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and presence simulation, scOS offers a level of intelligence and prevention that a simple doorbell camera cannot match. It’s the difference between seeing a package thief and stopping them from entering your property at all.

Tredegar's unique Valleys geography often means properties have sloped gardens or irregular boundaries. Traditional security systems struggle with this, requiring complex 'tripwire' setups that often fail. scOS uses AI to automatically detect your property boundaries, regardless of the terrain. It understands the difference between the public road and your private land, ensuring that you only get alerted when someone is actually on your property. This 'out of the box' intelligence makes it perfect for the varied and often challenging layouts of homes in Tredegar.

scOS doesn't just give a single warning; it uses an escalating response strategy. If someone enters your property boundary, the system might first activate a low-level light. If they continue to linger or move closer to the house, the system will escalate to a firm voice warning via external IoT speakers. If the threat persists, the warnings become more frequent and the lighting more intense. This 'living' response mimics a human security guard's actions, making it clear to the intruder that they are being actively monitored. This is a powerful deterrent in close-knit communities like Tredegar, where criminals want to avoid drawing attention.

Yes, scOS features advanced DVLA vehicle recognition. In a town like Tredegar, unfamiliar vehicles loitering or passing by multiple times can be a red flag. scOS identifies these patterns and checks registrations against the national database to spot cloned plates or suspicious vehicles. You can ask scOS Director, 'What cars have been seen near the house today?' and get a detailed report. This proactive monitoring helps identify potential 'scouts' before they ever attempt a break-in, providing an extra layer of security for your driveway and vehicles.
