CCTV Dublin

There’s nothing worse than feeling unsure about your property’s safety. Whether you’ve had a break-in nearby or just want to sleep easier, CCTV gives you peace of mind. With the right system in place, you can check on your home or workplace in Dublin whenever you like, right from your phone.

At BM Alarms, we install high-quality CCTV systems across Dublin for homeowners, landlords, businesses, and farms. We’ve been in the security game for over two decades, and we’ve seen what works, and what doesn’t.

Let’s walk you through why CCTV is worth the investment, what options are out there, and what you need to consider before picking a system.

​

Why CCTV Is More Than Just Cameras

People often think CCTV is just a camera on a wall. But in reality, a good system is like a second set of eyes that never blinks. It keeps watch when you’re asleep, away, or even sitting inside with no idea what’s going on outside.

Here’s what a proper CCTV setup can do for you:

• Deter break-ins and vandalism
  Most burglars avoid properties with visible cameras. It’s a simple fact, nobody wants to get caught.

• Record everything in real time
  Whether it’s a dodgy visitor at the gate or someone backing into your parked van, you’ve got proof.

• Keep an eye on deliveries or staff
  If you run a business, CCTV helps you monitor stockrooms, tills, and entry points without hovering over your team.

• Protect the outside too
  Driveways, alleyways, carparks, it’s not just about what happens indoors.

• View it all from your phone
  Modern systems give you live access through an app, no matter where you are.

It’s not about being paranoid. It’s about being prepared.

Residential CCTV in Dublin

We install CCTV systems for homes of all sizes, from city centre apartments to suburban houses and rural cottages. Whether you live in Tallaght, Clontarf, Raheny or Rathmines, we’ll tailor a system that suits your layout and your lifestyle.

Some customers want full perimeter coverage, while others just want one discreet camera on the front door. Either way, we’ll design something that works.

Features our residential clients love:

• Full HD or 4K image quality

• Night vision

• Motion-triggered alerts

• Phone app viewing

• No monthly fees

• Neat, discreet cabling

You can choose bullet or dome cameras, visible or hidden. We’ll explain everything during the site survey and make sure you’re fully comfortable with the setup.

​

Business CCTV Systems

For shops, cafés, offices, warehouses, salons, garages, and pubs, security is a must. You’re not just protecting stock and equipment. You’re protecting your staff, your premises, and your peace of mind.

We work with business owners all over Dublin to set up CCTV that doesn’t get in the way but still keeps a close eye on things.

Key benefits for businesses:

• Prevent theft and staff misuse

• Record incidents with time and date stamps

• Improve insurance claims

• Monitor deliveries and loading bays

• Provide backup for disputes

• Control access after hours

Need your cameras tied into your alarm system or linked with access control? No problem. We can build a fully integrated system that suits your business hours and footfall.

​

Farm and Rural CCTV

We also install systems for farms, yards, and agricultural buildings around the outskirts of Dublin and into Meath, Kildare, and Wicklow. Equipment theft and livestock protection are big concerns, and CCTV makes a real difference.

We offer long-range cameras with wireless signal or hardwired options where needed. Whether it’s a barn, a tool shed, or a wide field, we can usually find a smart solution that fits.

​

What Makes a Good CCTV System?

Not all cameras are the same. You’ll see plenty of cheap options online that promise the world but fall short in real life. Blurry night footage, missing frames, and apps that crash constantly? No thanks.

At BM Alarms, we only install tried-and-tested equipment from trusted brands. We’ve seen what survives the Irish weather and what fails after six months.

We focus on:

• Crystal clear image quality

• Strong night vision performance

• Reliable motion detection

• Clean cable runs and secure fittings

• Mobile access with no fuss

• Safe, password-protected storage

And yes, we’ll show you how to use everything before we leave.

​

CCTV for Your Budget

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all systems. Every job starts with a site visit and a chat. Once we know what you need, we give you a straightforward quote. No pressure. No nonsense.

Here’s a rough idea of what you might expect:

• Basic 1–2 camera system: from €600

• Standard 4 camera HD system: from €1,100

• Full HD business system with remote viewing: €1,500–€2,500

• Custom builds or multi-site setups: priced on request

We’ll explain your options clearly and help you choose based on your property, not our stockroom.

​

What’s the Installation Process Like?

It’s simple. Once you approve the quote, we’ll book a day that suits you. Our installers turn up on time, tidy as they go, and don’t leave until everything is working.

Most home systems are up and running in a day. Larger commercial setups may take longer, but we’ll give you a full timeline upfront.

We mount the cameras, run neat wiring inside or outside walls, set up the DVR or NVR, configure your mobile app, and test every feature. You’ll know exactly how it works before we’re done.

​

CCTV and the Law in Ireland

We often get asked about GDPR or data rules. Here’s the short version:

• If your CCTV only covers your property, you're fine

• If your camera covers a public footpath or another house, signage is required

• For businesses, you must inform staff and have a basic CCTV policy

• You can’t use CCTV audio without consent

We’ll guide you on the rules and help you stay compliant if your system covers shared spaces.

CCTV Dublin FAQs

Can I view my CCTV footage from my phone?

Yes. All our systems come with mobile access. You can check live footage, view recordings, and even receive alerts.

What happens if the internet goes down?

Your system will keep recording to a hard drive. Remote access may stop temporarily, but footage is still saved locally.

How long does footage stay saved?

That depends on your storage setup. Most systems keep footage for 2 to 4 weeks. We can adjust this to suit your needs.

Will CCTV work in total darkness?

Yes. We install cameras with strong infrared night vision that provide clear images even with no lights on.

Can you upgrade my old system?

In most cases, yes. We can often reuse existing cabling and replace old cameras with newer, clearer models.
