ADS Group designs, installs, maintains and monitors commercial intruder alarm systems across Cork city and county. Systems are specified to the grade the risk and the insurer require, normally Grade 2 or Grade 3, and monitored 24/7 through an Alarm Receiving Centre. On industrial sites the hard part is usually the perimeter rather than the building.
On an industrial site the valuable response time is between the perimeter and the door, not after entry. External detection, lighting and camera verification give you a chance to respond before anyone is inside, which is a different design from a system that only triggers when a door opens.
A site with maintenance crews, cleaners and night shifts cannot run on one set and unset. Zoning the system so parts can be armed while others are in use is what stops staff leaving the whole system off for convenience.
Commercial policies frequently specify a system grade and monitored response as a condition of cover. We check the policy requirement before specifying, because fitting below it leaves you with a working alarm and a disputed claim.
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 Cork page.
An engineer assesses the site, reviews the existing system and its documentation, and returns a written scope of works.
