SCRAM Monitoring FAQ Wyoming | CAM Wyoming

Question 1

I just received a court order for monitoring. What do I do first?

Accepted Answer

Contact CAM Wyoming as soon as possible to schedule your enrollment appointment. You can call us at (307) 234-9400 or use the contact form on this site. Bring a copy of your court order to your appointment. We can usually schedule fittings within 24–48 hours.

Question 2

Will the SCRAM bracelet be uncomfortable to wear?

Accepted Answer

Most clients adjust to the bracelet within a day or two. It is designed to be worn continuously — including during sleep — and is waterproof so you can shower normally. Our technicians will make sure the fit is correct and comfortable before you leave your appointment.

Question 3

Can I drink alcohol while wearing the SCRAM CAM bracelet?

Accepted Answer

No. The SCRAM CAM bracelet is specifically designed to detect alcohol consumption. Any alcohol detected will be logged and reported to your supervising officer or the court. Consuming alcohol while on monitoring is a violation of your court order.

Question 4

What happens if I accidentally consume something with alcohol in it — like mouthwash or hand sanitizer?

Accepted Answer

The SCRAM CAM bracelet uses advanced sensors that can distinguish between environmental alcohol (from products like hand sanitizer) and alcohol consumed through drinking. However, we recommend avoiding alcohol-based products near the device to prevent any ambiguity. If you have concerns, contact us right away.

Question 5

Can I exercise and sweat while wearing the device?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Normal physical activity and sweating will not affect the device or trigger a false reading. The bracelet is designed to account for normal perspiration levels. Just avoid submerging it in water for extended periods (like swimming or soaking in a bath).

Question 6

What if the device malfunctions or I have a technical issue?

Accepted Answer

Contact CAM Wyoming immediately at (307) 234-9400. We provide 24/7 support for device issues. Do not attempt to remove or repair the device yourself — doing so will trigger a tamper alert and be reported to the court.

Question 7

How much does monitoring cost?

Accepted Answer

Fees vary depending on the program and duration of monitoring. We will explain all costs clearly at your enrollment appointment. CAM Wyoming offers flexible payment options, and payment plans are available for clients who need them.

Question 8

How do I get the device removed when my monitoring period ends?

Accepted Answer

When your court-ordered monitoring period is complete, your supervising officer or the court will notify CAM Wyoming. We will then schedule a removal appointment at a convenient time for you.

Question 9

How quickly can a client be enrolled after a court order is issued?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, we can schedule enrollment within 24–48 hours of receiving a referral. For urgent situations, same-day fitting is often available. Contact our court services team directly for time-sensitive cases.

Question 10

How are compliance reports delivered to our office?

Accepted Answer

Reports are delivered via our secure agency portal, email, or both — whichever your department prefers. You can also request on-demand reports at any time through the portal or by contacting your dedicated account representative.

Question 11

What happens when a client tampers with the device?

Accepted Answer

Tamper events are detected immediately by multiple sensors and trigger an instant alert to your office. The event is fully documented in the compliance report with timestamp, sensor data, and event type.

Question 12

Is SCRAM technology accepted in Wyoming courts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SCRAM Systems technology is accepted in courts across all 50 states, including Wyoming. The data is scientifically validated, tamper-evident, and has been upheld in court proceedings nationwide.

Question 13

Can we specify which monitoring program to use in the court order?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Courts can specify SCRAM CAM, Remote Breath, GPS, or House Arrest monitoring in the order. If you are unsure which program best fits a case, our court services team is happy to advise.

Question 14

Who pays for the monitoring — the client or the court?

Accepted Answer

Fees are typically paid by the client. CAM Wyoming handles fee collection directly and offers payment plans when needed. Courts and agencies are not billed for monitoring services.

Question 15

How does the SCRAM CAM bracelet detect alcohol?

Accepted Answer

The SCRAM CAM uses transdermal alcohol testing — it measures ethanol in perspiration through the skin. A small amount of alcohol consumed is excreted through sweat, and the bracelet's sensors detect this automatically every 30 minutes. This method is scientifically validated and accepted in courts nationwide.

Question 16

How accurate is the SCRAM CAM?

Accepted Answer

SCRAM Systems technology has been independently validated and is considered the most accurate continuous alcohol monitoring technology available. The system uses multiple sensors and algorithms to distinguish between consumed alcohol and environmental sources.

Question 17

How does data get from the bracelet to CAM Wyoming?

Accepted Answer

A home base station (a small device provided at enrollment) automatically uploads monitoring data each day when the client is within range. No manual action is required — the system works automatically overnight.

Question 18

What is SCRAM Remote Breath and how is it different from the ankle bracelet?

Accepted Answer

SCRAM Remote Breath is a smartphone-based breath testing device. Instead of continuous transdermal monitoring, it prompts the client to submit a breath test at random intervals throughout the day. It uses facial recognition and GPS to confirm identity and location. It is a good option for lower-risk cases or as a step-down from the ankle bracelet.

Question 19

Is the GPS monitoring accurate enough for exclusion zones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our GPS monitoring uses high-accuracy location technology that can enforce exclusion zones as precise as a city block. Alerts are triggered in real time when a client enters or exits a defined zone.
