Common questions, simple answers.

Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please GET IN TOUCH

How often do I need to service my security system?

To stay compliant with BS 8243 or BS EN 50131 standards, you should have your intruder alarm professionally maintained at least once a year. If your system is police-monitored, insurance providers usually require two inspections annually. It’s not just about the paperwork – regular checks prevent the middle-of-the-night false alarms that annoy your neighbours.

Can I view my CCTV cameras on my phone when I'm away?

Yes. We specialise in IP CCTV installations that link directly to an app on your smartphone or tablet. As long as you’ve got an internet connection, you can view live feeds or playback recorded footage from anywhere in the world. It’s the most common request we get, and we’ll set the whole thing up for you before we leave the site.

Will my alarm still work if there’s a power cut?

It will. Every system we install includes a backup battery that takes over the moment the mains power fails. These batteries typically keep your sensors and sirens active for 8 to 12 hours. If your battery is more than four years old, it might struggle – that’s why we check battery health during every visit. Read more on our Fire Alarm Maintenace page

What happens if my alarm goes off while the building is empty?

If you choose a monitored system, a signal is sent immediately to our Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). They’ll verify the threat and contact you, your keyholders, or the police. If it’s an unmonitored “bells-only” system, it’ll just make a noise and hope a neighbour notices. For high-risk sites, we always recommend professional monitoring for genuine peace of mind.

Do you repair security systems installed by other companies?

We do. Our engineers have seen every type of kit out there. Whether it’s an old analogue CCTV setup or a modern wireless alarm, we can usually take over the maintenance or fix faults. We’ll start with a quick site survey to check if your current gear meets BS 7671 wiring regs and go from there.

Is wireless security as reliable as a wired system?

Modern wireless technology is excellent. We use encrypted signals that resist jamming, making them just as secure as traditional cables for most homes and small offices. They’re much quicker to install and don’t involve lifting floorboards. However, for massive industrial sites, we still often recommend a hardwired for maximum stability.

What is "Smart" security vs. a traditional alarm?

A traditional alarm just makes noise. A smart system integrates with your home or office, sending push notifications to your phone, allowing remote arming, and even linking with your lights. It’s about control and information. You’ll know exactly when your staff arrive.

Alasdair Cameron

Excellent service from start to finish! Rachel was fantastic from the first point of contact, and Calum was exceptionally helpful when I spoke to him. The work was carried out quickly and professionally. Highly recommend RACAM Ltd!

War Graves

An outstanding, professional and expert service from initial contact, through to survey, quotation and installation. RACAM supplied and installed a 5 MP set of CCTV cameras at my home to cover the exterior of the property and my cars. The price was good but that is not the only reason that I used them, it was their commitment, professional attitude and willingness to work to my timescale which was urgent. I'd not hesitate to recommend RACAM or to use them again. A definite FIVE STARS from this very satisfied customer.

Accounts At Fat Buddha Store

From start to finish the process was seamless. Calum came out and we explained what we were looking for and he fully explained all our options. Later on that same day we received a full written quotation which we didnt hesitate with. We didnt even look anywhere else as the quote was so reasonable. We asked for our system to be tweaked the day before install and this was not a problem. A date was set and the tradesman were on time, were meticulous and clean ensuring we were still able to trade whilst the work was being carried out. The system was fully explained and all questions were answered. Since this time, we have found the sytem to be exactly what we wanted and wish we had it installed years ago. I would fully recommend Calum and his team at RACAM.

Secretary OKBC

RACAM quoted for, and then undertook work providing a door access system on our premises, extended our security alarm provision and provided a new alarm monitoring scheme saving our Club a significant sum. The staff were very helpful in the lead up to the work being undertaken and likewise while onsite completing the installation. I would recommend RACAM to anyone looking for these services.
