ADS Group designs, installs, maintains and monitors commercial intruder alarm systems across Galway city and county, specified to the grade the risk and the insurer require and monitored 24/7 through an Alarm Receiving Centre. In mixed-tenure and student buildings the design problem is usually how many different people need access at different times.
A shared code that everyone knows tells you nothing about who set or unset the system, and it survives every staff departure. Individual user codes turn the alarm log into a record of who was in the building and when, which is useful well beyond security.
Protected and period premises limit cabling and fixings, and wireless detection is frequently the practical answer. It is specified to the same grade, with device battery condition becoming a scheduled maintenance item.
External detectors and housings in exposed locations corrode and suffer water ingress. Specifying for the environment at the start avoids a system that generates false activations within two winters.
Full detail on the system types, the standards and the certification process is on the Intruder Alarms page, and everything else we cover in the county is on the Galway page.
An engineer assesses the site, reviews the existing system and its documentation, and returns a written scope of works.
