Most CCTV systems are passive; they record footage that you might look at after a crime has already happened. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime before it occurs. It uses our proprietary MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity'—specifically human movement—rather than just any motion. This eliminates false alarms from pets, wind, or shadows. scOS also doesn't require you to set up complex zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When someone enters your property, scOS takes action with lights and voice warnings to deter them immediately, providing an active layer of defence that traditional CCTV simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have a camera system at your home in Tylorstown or Pontygwaith, we can often integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This instantly upgrades your existing cameras with our advanced AI features like person recognition and proactive deterrents. During our professional installation—which takes about 4-6 hours—our UK-based engineers will check your current hardware and ensure it's fully optimised to work with the scOS ecosystem, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent system. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your usual lighting and activity patterns—this is the most effective way to deter burglars from even trying. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious human behaviour with 100% accuracy, even if they are trying to hide. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, the system uses instant lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, human-like response removes the intruder's anonymity and signals that they have been caught, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data to third parties. Most of the AI processing is done locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy, with only critical events being backed up to our secure cloud. You have total control over your footage and data. Whether you're at home in the Rhondda or away, you can access your system securely, knowing your information is protected by the highest British privacy standards.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often easily bypassed or jammed. scOS is a professional, whole-property security solution. It uses wired connections that are immune to WiFi jamming and monitors your entire boundary, including back gardens and side entrances. While a doorbell might show you someone at the door, scOS is designed to stop a criminal before they even reach your house. For residents in Tylorstown and Pontygwaith, scOS offers a much higher level of protection, providing peace of mind for your entire property, not just the front porch.

The terraced streets common in Tylorstown and Pontygwaith can be challenging for traditional security systems. scOS is perfect for this environment because our AI automatically detects your property boundaries. You don't need to worry about the system being triggered by neighbours walking past on the pavement or cars driving by. MotionX is smart enough to focus only on activity within your specific property lines. This means you get 100% accurate protection for your home without annoying false alarms from the busy valley streets.

We know that the weather in the South Wales Valleys can be challenging. All scOS hardware is designed to be robust and weather-resistant. More importantly, our MotionX AI is specifically trained to ignore environmental factors like heavy rain, wind, and fog. While traditional motion sensors might trigger constantly during a Welsh downpour, scOS remains focused on 'important activity'—human presence. This ensures that your security remains reliable and accurate, no matter what the weather is doing outside.

scOS provides high-quality, 24/7 recorded evidence that is fully GDPR compliant and ready for use by South Wales Police if an incident occurs. Our system also includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which can identify suspicious cars using cloned plates or those seen loitering in the area. However, our primary goal is prevention. By using proactive voice deterrents and lights, scOS often stops a crime before it's even committed, reducing the need for police intervention and keeping your home and family safe.
