Security installation in Armagh, in short
Armagh's cathedral quarter and its orchard country both get CCTV, intruder alarms, electric gates, access control and WiFi from Coast Data Security, installed below two cathedrals that look down from opposite hills over the city. Every job starts with a free, careful site survey, particularly where a property sits inside the conservation area.
Local knowledge
A cathedral city surrounded by orchards.
Armagh is built around two hills, each with a cathedral called St Patrick's, one Church of Ireland and one Catholic, looking at each other across the rooftops. Around the Mall, the Georgian terraces and townhouses sit inside a designated conservation area, so a camera, an alarm box or a keypad has to go on without spoiling the front of a listed or protected building. We plan the position of any visible equipment at the survey and, where it matters, we route cabling to stay out of sight rather than fixing a box wherever is easiest.
Outside the city, Armagh is known as the Orchard County, and a large share of our rural work here is farms and smallholdings growing apples, with outbuildings, stores and packing sheds that need CCTV and an alarm as much as the farmhouse does. Entrances are often a single lane in off a quiet road, which usually means power is some distance from the gate, and a solar-powered gate motor or camera is a common answer.
Council and geography
From the Mall to the orchard lanes.
Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council covers planning here, and the PSNI's Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon district covers policing. The A3, A28 and A29 meet close to the city, so whether the job is a house near the Mall or a farm out towards Loughgall, the roads in and out are generally quick and direct.
Not far from the city, Navan Fort is a reminder of how old this part of Armagh actually is, and a fair number of the properties we visit, particularly in and around the conservation area, are older buildings where the survey has to consider what can be fixed to the fabric of the building and what cannot, rather than treating every wall the same way.
