Your Building Can't Call 999. We Can.
In Ireland, a standard "bells-only" fire alarm is often insufficient for insurance purposes and useless when the building is empty.
A fire alarm ringing in an empty building is just noise. 67% of major fires occur outside of working hours when your premises are vacant. Our 24/7 Professional Monitoring ensures that the moment smoke is detected, the Fire Brigade is on the way—day or night, weekends or holidays.
The Reality: If your alarm triggers at 3 AM on a Sunday, who hears it? By the time a neighbor notices smoke, your asset is already lost.
The Solution: Our systems transmit a digital signal to our Dublin-based Monitoring Centre in milliseconds. We don't wait for a phone call; we act immediately.
Insurance Requirement: Most commercial insurance policies in Ireland now demand monitored fire alarms for cover to be valid during non-trading hours.
3 Steps to Safety
Detection: Your smoke or heat detector activates. The control panel immediately sends an encrypted signal via 5G/IP.
Verification: Our Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) receives the specific zone data (e.g., "Fire Alarm - Warehouse Zone 2") instantly.
Action: Depending on your protocol, we immediately contact your nominated Keyholders and dispatch the Fire Brigade to your address.
Traditional landlines are disappearing. We use cutting-edge wireless technology.
CSL DualCom / HKC SecureWave: We install a small communicator inside your existing fire panel.
Dual-Path Reliability: The unit uses a WorldSIM (roaming 5G) and your internet connection (IP). If one path fails, the other takes over instantly.
Poll Testing: We "ping" your alarm system every few minutes to ensure it's still online. If the connection is cut, we know about it before the fire happens.
Wireless technology is increasingly used to connect fire alarm systems to 24/7 monitoring stations (ARCs), providing fast, secure communication without the need for traditional phone lines or cabling. Using encrypted radio or cellular networks, signals from fire panels can transmitted instantly to monitoring centres, ensuring resilience against line faults on standard wired telephony fibre digital connections. This approach improves reliability by and offers flexibility for heritage or complex sites where wired connections may be impractical. By combining wireless connectivity with compliance to IS 3218 and European standards, organisations gain both resilience and peace of mind in their fire safety infrastructure.
Smart Monitoring, Not Just Fast Monitoring. We help you manage the cost and disruption of false alarms.
"Call-Back" Protocols: During working hours, we can call your premises first to verify if it's burnt toast or a real fire, preventing unnecessary fire brigade call-out charges.
Keyholder Apps: Update your list of emergency contacts instantly via our portal. No more calling the guy who left the company two years ago.
Managing False Alarms is a critical part of maintaining effective fire protection systems, ensuring safety without unnecessary disruption. False alarms can lead to costly evacuations, loss of productivity, and reduced confidence in fire safety measures. GME address this by conducting regular system audits, calibrating detectors, and using intelligent panels that pinpoint the source of activations.
Staff training and clear maintenance schedules further reduce accidental triggers, while compliance with IS 3218 standards ensures systems are set up to minimise nuisance alarms. By actively managing false alarms, organisations protect both their people and their reputation while maintaining trust in their fire safety infrastructure.
"Our warehouse is in an industrial estate that is deserted at night. Knowing that GME is monitoring the system gives us total peace of mind. They caught a small electrical fire last year at 2 AM and saved the entire stock." — Logistics Director, Co. Dublin
