Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime as it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime entirely. The core difference is our MotionX technology. Unlike standard cameras that are triggered by any movement—like swaying trees or animals—MotionX only alerts you to 'important activity.' It understands the human form and can recognise a person even if they are disguised or hiding. It requires no manual 'zones' because the AI automatically learns your property boundaries. Most importantly, scOS is active. It uses external IoT speakers and lighting to challenge intruders the moment they step onto your land, scaring them off before they can cause any damage.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. If you already have a camera system at your Treharris home, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with it, instantly upgrading your 'dumb' cameras with world-class AI. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will perform a full assessment of your existing hardware. We always recommend wired systems over wireless ones, as they are far more reliable and cannot be defeated by the signal jammers often used by modern criminals. By integrating your existing cameras, we can provide a massive security boost with minimal disruption to your property.

scOS uses a powerful three-stage deterrent system. First is Presence Simulation: the AI learns your routine and mimics it when you're away—turning lights on and off inside to make the house look lived-in. This is the best way to stop a crime before it's even planned. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a threat the moment they cross your boundary, even in the dark. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder persists, scOS triggers external lights and delivers a clear, authoritative AI voice warning through external speakers. This escalating response is designed to make any criminal feel 'watched' and exposed, forcing them to abandon their attempt and move on to an easier target.

Your data security is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your video and personal data are stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a 'Local + Cloud' model: the scOS Intelligence Hub in your home processes the AI locally for speed and privacy, only sending data to our secure UK cloud when an event needs to be recorded or when you want to access your footage remotely. You have 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings, and you remain in total control of who can see your feeds.

A video doorbell only protects your front door and is purely reactive—it tells you someone is there, but it doesn't stop them. In a village like Treharris, you need whole-property protection. scOS monitors your entire boundary, including back gardens and driveways. Unlike a doorbell, scOS is proactive; it uses MotionX to detect intruders early and then uses voice warnings and lights to drive them away. It’s a professional, wired system that doesn't suffer from the false alarms or battery issues common with consumer doorbells. While a doorbell is a simple gadget, scOS is a comprehensive security guard for your entire home.

Treharris is a tight-knit community, but even here, property crime can occur. scOS is designed to complement the community spirit by providing a high-level, proactive shield for your home. Our system doesn't just record; it actively monitors your boundaries and intervenes the moment someone suspicious arrives. This immediate response is crucial for maintaining the safety and tranquility of valley life. By stopping the crime at the boundary, scOS ensures that your home remains a safe sanctuary, giving you and your neighbours peace of mind.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be conversational and accessible. Through 'scOS Director,' you can ask natural questions about your property just like you were talking to a security guard. For example, you could ask, 'Has there been any unusual activity near the back fence today?' or 'Did anyone come to the door while I was out?' The AI understands the context of your home's normal behaviour and can provide specific, relevant answers. This makes managing your home security as simple as having a conversation, removing the need to scroll through hours of empty footage. It’s the perfect solution for busy Treharris residents who want high-level security without the technical headache.

Absolutely. We understand that residents in South Wales value their privacy. scOS does not use facial recognition. Instead, we use 'Person Recognition' based on behaviour and gait. The system learns to distinguish between family members and strangers by how they move and interact with the property, rather than by scanning their faces. This provides high-level security and personalised alerts without the privacy concerns associated with biometric databases. Furthermore, because our Intelligence Hub processes data locally, your daily movements aren't being constantly uploaded to the cloud. You get the benefits of an intelligent, 'aware' home while maintaining total personal privacy.
