CCTV and Alarm Installation in Limavady
CCTV, intruder alarms, access control and fire systems for Limavady homes, town centre businesses, Aghanloo units and the farms spread across the flat ground of the Roe Valley.
What the Limavady figures mean for your premises
Limavady covers a lot of ground for its size: a compact town centre, an industrial estate a couple of miles out at Aghanloo, and farmland running flat towards Lough Foyle. Everything recorded across that spread lands in one set of figures, which is why no single number says much about your own gate. What matters is who is near your property when you are not.
On a unit or a food premises the useful thing is a record of vehicles and people at the gate and the loading bay, plus detection inside that still behaves when a late shift is working. In the town the priority is the frontage, the till and the rear service door. Out the Myroe road it is the shed, the tank and the lane, because between one yard and the next there is nothing but open field.

Limavady trades along Main Street, Market Street, Catherine Street and the Irish Green Street side, and most units there are independent, with storage or living space above them. Two miles north, the estate at Aghanloo is a different proposition: larger buildings, yards, loading doors and staff who need in at awkward hours without the alarm becoming a nuisance. We build those systems around zones and timed access instead of one alarm covering everything.
The farmland here is flat, open and productive, especially the reclaimed ground at Myroe between the town and Lough Foyle, where fields run to the water with little to break the view. That is helpful for cameras and unhelpful for boundaries: you can see a long way, but nothing slows anybody crossing. So detection goes on the yard and the sheds, cameras watch the approach lane, and mobile connected equipment takes over where the house broadband gives out before the far gate.
What we install in Limavady
CCTV installation
HD and 4K cameras for shops, yards, units and farmhouses, viewable on your phone. At a commercial site we usually put one camera where it will read a number plate at the entrance and others across the loading area and the compound. On a holding the lane, the yard and the machinery shed come first, with the dwelling after them.

Intruder alarms
Wired and wireless intruder alarms, zoned around how your place runs. A building at Aghanloo can hold the warehouse and offices protected while despatch finishes late. A farmhouse can hold the yard and workshop while the household sleeps. Detection is chosen to suit high racking, roller doors and open sheds rather than fitted as a standard kit.

Access control and door entry
Keypad, fob and app controlled entry for staff doors, yard gates and shared buildings, with door entry for flats above the street. Shift patterns can be built into who gets in and when, visitors can be let in from a desk inside, and a fob is withdrawn the day somebody leaves without changing a single lock.

Fire alarms and emergency lighting
Fire alarm systems and emergency lighting for units, workshops, shops and rented houses in and around Limavady, designed around the building, its escape routes and what is stored in it. Warehouse and yard lighting gets proper attention, because a dark loading area at the back of an estate is no place to be feeling for an exit.

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 a planned schedule, and we can take on a system fitted by somebody else, which is common in units that have changed tenant. Where the equipment supports it we check and diagnose remotely first, so smaller faults on a site out at Aghanloo or Myroe are often resolved without a visit.

CCTV and alarms in Limavady, your questions answered
Can you secure a Limavady industrial unit that runs shifts?
Yes. We split the building into zones so production or despatch can keep working while the rest stays protected, and we set entry rights by person and by time rather than handing out keys. Cameras go on the gate, the loading doors and the compound, and the system reports to whoever you nominate rather than to everyone.
What works on a Limavady farm with wide open fields?
Detection close in and cameras on the way in. Open ground gives you long sightlines, so a camera at the lane and one over the yard will usually see a vehicle well before it reaches the sheds. We protect the machinery shed, fuel store and workshop as their own zones, so the yard can be armed while the house is occupied.
Can a camera read number plates at my yard entrance?
Yes, with the right camera in the right position. Plate capture needs a tight field of view, a sensible angle to the approach and lighting that copes after dark, which is a different setup from a general overview camera. We normally fit both: one to capture the plate, one to show the whole vehicle and what happened next.
Do you fit systems for Limavady town centre shops?
Yes. For a unit on Main Street or Market Street that is usually the shopfront, the counter, the aisles and the rear service door, with the intruder alarm zoned so the store can stay protected while the shop trades. Where there are flats or storage over the shop, they join the same system with separate user codes.
How far out from Limavady does your cover reach?
Across the whole Roe Valley and the Foyle coast: Ballykelly, Greysteel, Myroe, Dungiven, Feeny, Bellarena and Magilligan, plus the townlands between them. We are on the road between Coleraine and Derry regularly, so homes, farms and commercial premises in this area all get the same free survey.
