How do you alarm a building that is never empty?

By protecting specific rooms rather than the whole perimeter. Drug stores, records, server rooms and plant areas can be armed independently while the rest of the building operates normally.

Can we see who accessed a protected room?

With individual user codes and event logging, yes. That audit trail is part of the control where controlled substances or confidential records are held.

Do you cover Dungarvan as well as the city?

Yes. Dungarvan, Tramore and the west of the county are covered on the same monitoring and maintenance arrangement as the city.

Monitored Intruder Alarms in Waterford

ADS Group designs, installs, maintains and monitors commercial intruder alarm systems across Waterford city and county, specified to the grade the risk and the insurer require and monitored 24/7 through an Alarm Receiving Centre. In healthcare and production premises the system has to protect specific rooms inside a building that is never fully empty.

What matters for Waterford buildings

Occupied buildings need internal protection, not a perimeter

A premises staffed around the clock cannot rely on setting the building at night. Protection has to be applied to specific rooms: drug stores, records, server rooms and plant areas, armed independently of the rest.

Controlled drugs and records raise the requirement

Where controlled substances or confidential records are held, both the specification and the audit trail matter. Individual user codes and a reliable event log are part of the control, not an extra.

Production areas need zoning around shifts

A plant running continuously in one area and empty in another needs partitioning so the empty parts stay protected without obstructing the working ones.

What the visit includes

Survey and specification to the grade the risk and the insurance policy require
Internal room-level protection for stores, records and server areas
Individual user codes and event logging for audit purposes
Partitioning around shift patterns in production premises
24/7 monitoring through an Alarm Receiving Centre, with a documented escalation protocol
Scheduled maintenance, certification and 24/7 callout
