Most CCTV systems are passive—they record the crime but don't prevent it. scOS is different because it's proactive. Using our MotionX technology, the system identifies 'important activity' (like a person approaching your home) while ignoring 'noise' like wind, rain, or animals. There are no motion masks to set up; it works out of the box. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action with automatic lights and voice warnings to deter the intruder before they can cause damage.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, or Ubiquiti. During our single-day professional installation in Stockton on the Forest, our engineers will integrate your current cameras with our Intelligence Hub. This instantly upgrades your 'dumb' cameras with AI features like vehicle recognition, person detection, and proactive deterrents, saving you the cost of a completely new hardware setup.

scOS deters criminals through three intelligent layers. First, Presence Simulation mimics your daily habits inside the house, making it appear occupied even when you're on holiday. Second, MotionX AI detects suspicious behaviour, even if the person is trying to hide their face or figure. Third, the system uses active intervention: if someone enters your property, it triggers instant lighting and authoritative voice warnings from external speakers. This escalating response signals to the intruder that they are being monitored by an active, intelligent system.

Your data security is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your video data is stored in secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data. The system uses a hybrid approach: local processing on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action, and cloud storage for 24/7 recording (up to 2 weeks) that you can access securely from anywhere in the world.

Video doorbells are reactive and limited to a single view of your front door. scOS offers comprehensive property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary in Stockton on the Forest, from the driveway to the back garden. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief from stepping onto your property in the first place by using proactive AI deterrents. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a digital security guard.

Stockton on the Forest's proximity to the A64 makes it a prime target for criminals who want a quick getaway toward York or the coast. scOS includes DVLA-linked vehicle recognition, which can identify cars approaching your property and check them against databases for cloned plates or suspicious history. This 'early warning' system is vital for villages near major arterial roads, giving you a level of protection that standard alarms cannot match.

North Yorkshire Police cover a large geographical area, and response times can be a concern for rural residents. scOS provides 'verified' intelligence. Because our MotionX technology has zero false alarms, you can contact the police with the certainty that a crime is being attempted. Providing the police with real-time, AI-verified descriptions of intruders or vehicle registrations significantly increases the likelihood of a prioritised response and a successful outcome.

Yes, scOS is perfect for the varied property types in Stockton on the Forest. Our AI boundary detection automatically understands where your private land begins, whether you have a small front garden or a large plot backing onto woodland. It recognises family members by their behaviour and patterns, so you won't be alerted when the kids come home, but you will be the moment a stranger enters your property in an unusual way.
