Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune, but scOS is a proactive guardian designed to prevent crime before it happens. While standard systems rely on "motion detection" that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our proprietary MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify "important activity"—specifically human behaviour and vehicle movements. It requires no manual "tripwires" or "zones" because it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with instant light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This shift from reactive recording to proactive AI monitoring ensures that you aren't just watching a crime in progress on your phone, but stopping it from ever occurring.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can often breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with them, transforming "dumb" cameras into an intelligent, AI-powered network. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure compatibility. By layering our MotionX intelligence and proactive deterrents over your existing cameras, you get the full power of scOS without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided the existing cabling and camera quality meet our operational standards for AI analysis.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy that begins long before a criminal reaches your door. The first layer is Presence Simulation; by learning your home's normal activity patterns, scOS can simulate internal lighting and human activity when you're away, making the property appear occupied—the most effective way to discourage burglars from even considering your home. If a trespasser does approach, our MotionX technology instantly identifies them, regardless of whether they are wearing a hood or mask. This triggers the second layer: Active Intervention. Your property responds automatically with targeted illumination and escalating voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. Unlike a simple alarm, these warnings are specific and proactive, signalling to the intruder that they have been detected by an intelligent system that is already tracking their every move.

At scOS, we believe your security data should be as private as your home. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. All your video footage and AI insights are processed through our Intelligence Hub locally before being escalated to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. This hybrid approach ensures lightning-fast local response times with the reliability of cloud backup. Your data is encrypted to the highest standards, and we never sell your information to third parties. You maintain total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure app, ensuring that what happens in your home stays in your home.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. scOS is a comprehensive home intelligence system that protects your entire property perimeter. While a doorbell might capture a package thief, scOS uses MotionX to detect someone scouting your side gate or tampering with your car on the driveway. Because we use wired connections rather than easily-jammed Wi-Fi, and external IoT speakers for proactive voice deterrents, we stop crime before it reaches the threshold. A doorbell is a reactive tool for convenience; scOS is a proactive security solution that uses escalating responses to ensure that by the time a criminal gets near your door, they've already been told to leave.

With a local crime rate of 137.77 per 1,000 residents—significantly higher than the national average—Ystradgynlais residents cannot afford to be complacent. Our system is specifically tuned to handle the geography of the Swansea Valley. We use DVLA-linked vehicle recognition to monitor cars entering your property, which is vital for homes near the A4067 where quick getaway routes are a concern. By identifying cloned plates or suspicious vehicles that don't belong to your family or regular visitors, scOS provides an early warning system that traditional village watch schemes simply cannot match. We focus on stopping the high rate of property crime in the area by making your home the most difficult target on the street.

The Dyfed-Powys Police cover a vast area, and response times in more rural parts of the valley can vary. scOS bridges this gap by providing immediate, autonomous intervention. When the system detects a threat, it doesn't wait for a human to dial 999; it immediately begins its escalating response protocol with lights and voice warnings. This "digital security guard" acts as the first responder, often driving the intruder away before the police would even have been dispatched. Furthermore, our scOS Director AI allows you to ask natural questions like "Has anyone been in the back garden today?" giving you instant clarity to share with local officers if an incident occurs.

Our MotionX technology is built to handle the varied Welsh weather. Unlike standard PIR sensors or basic motion detection that might be triggered by heavy rain, wind-blown debris, or fog in the valley, MotionX focuses on "important activity." It recognises the human form and movement patterns, meaning it won't give you false alarms during a storm but will instantly alert you if someone is using the cover of bad weather to approach your property. This reliability is crucial for Ystradgynlais residents who need a system that works 365 days a year, regardless of the conditions.
