Traditional CCTV is a digital witness; it records your loss so you can watch it later. scOS is a digital bodyguard. Our MotionX technology is the core difference; unlike standard systems that trigger on any movement like spiders, wind, or shadows, MotionX identifies "important activity." It recognises people regardless of their shape or if they are trying to hide. Because it understands the context of your property, it doesn't need you to draw messy "motion zones." It works out of the box to provide zero false alarms, meaning when you get an alert, it actually matters. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts, providing a proactive response that passive systems simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them from "dumb" recording devices into proactive AI sensors. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes 4 to 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware. We prefer wired connections over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be defeated by the "WiFi jammers" increasingly used by modern burglars. By integrating your current cameras, you get elite AI protection without necessarily needing to replace all your hardware, making the upgrade to true home intelligence both sustainable and cost-effective.

scOS uses a three-layer proactive strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make the home look occupied when you're out, which is the best way to stop a burglar from even choosing your house. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious behaviour at the boundary of your property, even if the person is wearing a mask or hood. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just send a notification. It triggers external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates instant illumination. These escalating responses are designed to make the intruder realise they've been spotted by an intelligent system, forcing them to flee before they ever touch a door or window.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and escalated to our secure UK data centres when necessary. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible via our secure app from anywhere in the world. Because we use both local and cloud processing, you get the speed of local intelligence with the backup and accessibility of the cloud, all kept within British jurisdiction.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a package. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. More importantly, a doorbell is passive—it might record a crime, but it rarely stops one. scOS is designed to intervene. By detecting a trespasser the moment they step onto your driveway and using voice deterrents and light, scOS stops the crime from happening in the first place. It’s the difference between seeing a thief and making sure the thief never gets close.

The weather in North Wales can be challenging for traditional motion sensors, which often trigger false alarms during heavy rain or wind. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically trained to ignore environmental factors like rain, wind-blown trees, or animals. It focuses exclusively on "important activity"—the movement of people and vehicles. This means that even in a Snowdonia storm, your system remains accurate and reliable, only alerting you when there is a genuine reason for concern.

For those with second homes or holiday lets in Waunfawr, Presence Simulation is an invaluable tool. scOS can simulate human activity inside the property, such as lights turning on and off in a natural pattern, making the home appear occupied even when it's empty for weeks at a time. If someone does approach the property, the system's AI will detect them and can deliver a voice warning, letting them know the property is being actively monitored by scOS intelligence.

Yes, scOS is a "Brand Agnostic" system. While we recommend high-quality wired IP cameras, our Intelligence Hub is compatible with a wide range of manufacturers including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have a system installed at your Waunfawr home, we can often upgrade it with our AI Hub, giving your existing cameras the power of MotionX detection and proactive deterrents without the need for a full hardware replacement.
