Why Commercial Properties in Ireland Require Professional Alarm Response?
Alarm response means a trained officer attends your premises when your alarm activates, so you and your staff are not called out at night or asked to face an intruder alone.
Every alarm is checked by our Dublin control centre before an officer is sent. That means fewer false call-outs, faster action on real incidents, and a keyholder on site when Gardaí need one, which helps protect your Garda response.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straightforward commercial answers on response protocols and service duties.
What is an alarm response service?
An alarm response service sends trained security guards to check your business when an alarm goes off. If an intruder trips a sensor, our guards drive to your property fast. They look around every door and window, make sure the premises are secure and report back to you.
What happens when my alarm goes off at night?
Our Dublin control centre sends mobile response officers right away when your alarm rings at night. Our officers drive to your property, check every door and window from outside, and use your keys to look inside. If bad guys break in, our team calls the Gardaí immediately to protect your building.
Do I need a keyholding service for alarm response?
Officers need your spare keys to enter and check your rooms. Without keys, officers can only look around the outside fence and doors. With our professional keyholding support, our guards can safely unlock the door, check every room, turn off the siren, and lock up when they're done.
Who contacts the Gardaí during a confirmed break-in?
Our response officers contact the Gardaí when they find real signs of a break-in, damage or intruders. Checking the site first helps reduce false alarms and gives the Gardaí clear information when they attend.
