Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records crime as it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a person in a hoodie. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to understand 'important activity' in real-time, ignoring wind, animals, and shadows without the need for complex motion masks. Instead of just recording, scOS intervenes the moment a threat is detected, using AI-driven responses to stop intruders before they reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our UK engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, you gain full access to our proactive AI features without needing to replace your entire infrastructure.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied when you're away by mimicking human activity patterns inside the house. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour—even if the person is covering their face or moving stealthily—and automatically detects your property boundaries. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers an escalating response, including instant illumination and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they have been spotted.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. All data processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before escalating to our secure UK-based cloud servers for advanced analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data remains yours and is never sold or shared with third parties. You have complete control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app, ensuring your home's intelligence stays private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary and intervening before a criminal even reaches your entrance. While doorbells are easily bypassed or covered, scOS uses professional wired cameras and AI that recognises suspicious patterns, such as someone scouting your property or wearing a mask, providing a level of security a doorbell simply cannot match.

Dyfed-Powys Police cover a vast area, and response times in villages like Tycroes can vary. scOS provides an immediate, automated response that doesn't wait for human intervention. By using escalating deterrents like lights and voice warnings, the system can often resolve a situation independently, while simultaneously alerting you so you can contact the authorities with clear, AI-verified evidence of an attempted intrusion.

Yes, scOS uses Person Recognition to learn the typical behaviours and patterns of your family members. Unlike facial recognition, which can be invasive and unreliable in the dark, our AI looks at movement patterns and frequency of visits. This allows the system to remain 'quiet' when your family is coming and going, but stay highly alert when a stranger exhibits unusual behaviour near your Tycroes home.

Presence Simulation is one of our most powerful features for Tycroes residents who travel. It doesn't just turn a light on and off; it simulates the complex patterns of human activity inside your home, such as moving from room to room or changing light levels. This makes your home look genuinely lived-in, which is the single most effective way to discourage burglars from even considering your property as a target.
