CCTV and Alarm Installation in Dromore, County Down
CCTV, intruder alarms and access control for Dromore homes, shops around Market Square and trade units, built around a town that empties towards Belfast and Lisburn on weekday mornings.
What Dromore's crime figures mean for your home
Dromore is a commuter town with an old market centre, and the figures behave accordingly. What gets recorded tends to sit where the activity is: the centre, the car parks and the roads feeding the main corridor. The housing on the edges reports less, partly because less goes on there, and partly because on a weekday there is nobody at home to see anything at all.
That is the thing worth planning around. Between the morning run towards Belfast and the evening return, whole streets stand empty in broad daylight, with nobody next door to notice a strange van sitting in a drive. A camera on the drive and the side return, with detection inside, restores the presence the street has lost. Better still, it tells you on your phone while you are at your desk, rather than leaving you to discover it at the door that night.

Dromore grew up around Market Square and the River Lagan, then grew again as a place to live and work somewhere else. The newer housing on the edges of the town is comfortable and almost entirely empty between breakfast and teatime, so domestic work here is really about the approach: the driveway, the gates, the side passage and the rear garden, with internal detection sized to the layout and to any pets. Most houses are well covered by a handful of carefully placed cameras rather than one on every corner.
The commercial side is smaller but steady. Shops and services around Market Square and Church Street occupy older buildings with living space above and yards behind, and there are light industrial and trade units out on the approach roads near the main corridor. Those follow a different order: gates and yard first, then the doors, then the stock. One system can take in a unit, its yard and the house as well, if the owner lives on site.
What we install in Dromore
CCTV installation
Camera systems for houses, shops and units in Dromore, viewable on your phone from wherever you happen to be working. For a commuter home we take in the driveway, the front door and the rear, with a view good enough to identify a caller rather than simply prove somebody was there. For a yard, the gate and the stock come first.

Intruder alarms
Intruder alarms with app control, which is rather the point of them in a town where the house is empty by half eight. The alert reaches you directly, wherever you are, and the system can be set from the car when somebody forgets. Zones let you protect the ground floor at night, or the shop while the flat above is in use.

Access control and door entry
Keypad and fob entry for trade units, yards, surgeries and shared buildings, plus door entry for flats above the town centre shops. A coded door keeps deliveries and the public out of a working area, and a lost fob is cancelled in the system rather than turning into a morning of lock changes for everybody.
More on access control.
Fire alarms and emergency lighting
Fire detection and emergency lighting for shops, units, surgeries and rented flats in Dromore, specified for the building and the way people use it. Older centre properties with accommodation above need the detection and the escape lighting planned together, and we test the system and record it to a schedule.

Monitoring and maintenance
CCTV can be monitored through 24-hour NI CCTV Monitoring from Advanced Overwatch, and intruder and fire alarm monitoring is provided through our monitoring partner’s NSI Gold certified Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC).
We service what we install on planned visits and can take over a system fitted by somebody else after a survey. Most faults in a domestic system come down to batteries, dust and a camera that has drifted on its bracket, and a planned check deals with all three long before you need the footage.

CCTV and alarms in Dromore, your questions answered
What CCTV suits a Dromore house that is empty all day?
A small set of cameras on the approach rather than a great many of them. Typically one covering the driveway and front door, one on the rear, and one on a side passage or garage if there is one. Paired with an alarm you get the alert and a live view on your phone at work, and a recording clear enough to be useful afterwards.
Can I check my Dromore alarm from work in Belfast?
Yes. The app shows whether the system is set, lets you arm or disarm it, and tells you when a detector activates. From there you can look at the cameras yourself, or pass it to somebody closer to the house. It saves the drive back down the road to find out that the cat moved.
Do you cover trade units on the roads out of Dromore?
Yes. Units, yards and stores on the approach roads are regular work for us. We take the gate and the yard before the building, because that is where vans, plant and materials sit, then protect the doors and the stock inside. Access control can replace keys for staff, and the whole site reports into one app.
Can you fit door entry to flats above Market Square?
Yes. Door entry suits a building where one street door serves several flats, which is common right through the centre. Each flat gets a handset or an app so tenants can see and admit their own callers, the main door stays locked, and fobs are cancelled individually at the end of a tenancy instead of rekeying for everyone.
Which areas around Dromore do you cover?
We cover Dromore and the country around it, including Dromara, Donaghcloney, Kinallen, Waringsford and Blackskull, with Hillsborough and Banbridge just up and down the road. Homes, shops, surgeries, trade units and farms are all handled by one team, covering Northern Ireland from our base in Coleraine.
