Few building/home owners are aware that they are required to inform their insurers for both building and contents that scaffold is being installed, both date of installation and duration should be provided.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a scaffold alarm?

A scaffold alarm is a system designed specifically for scaffolding to deter unauthorised access, theft, and vandalism. It typically includes motion sensors, audible alarms, and sometimes visual alerts.

Tecam scaffold alarms work by detecting motion or tampering on the scaffolding structure. Upon detection, the system triggers an alarm that can notify site managers and in some cases a monitoring centre.

Tecam’s scaffold alarms are versatile and can be adapted to fit various types of scaffolding, ensuring optimal protection regardless of the scaffold’s design or size.

Our alarms are equipped with advanced sensors to minimise false alarms. In the event of a false alarm, the system can be quickly reset by authorised personnel, and sensitivity adjustments can be made.

Yes, Tecam offer a remote monitoring services, allowing you to monitor the scaffold alarm system from a smartphone, providing alerts and updates in real-time.
