Commercial CCTV Systems & 24/7 Monitoring.

HD and 4K surveillance designed for enterprise sites, monitored from Ireland’s first EN 50518:2019 Category I command centre.

Manguard Plus designs, installs, integrates and monitors CCTV for pharma sites, data centres, logistics networks, multi-site retail estates and corporate offices across Ireland. PSA licensed, ISO accredited, single accountable provider from camera selection through to 24/7 verified response.

Overview

CCTV Engineered for Live Operating Environments.

Not cameras on walls. A specified system – cameras, video management, storage, network and 24/7 monitoring – designed around your site, your sector and the infrastructure you already operate.

Manguard Plus CCTV starts with a site survey and risk assessment, not a product brochure. Our systems team specifies camera mix (HD, 4K, IP, thermal), video management, retention strategy and network design around the operating environment – then installs, commissions and supports the system end to end. PSA licensed for CCTV installation and covered by the Manguard Plus Quality Management System on every visit.

Enterprise sites choose Manguard for one reason competitors cannot match: the systems we install can be monitored 24/7 from the first EN 50518:2019 Category I certified Alarm Receiving Centre in Ireland. Camera alarms, video verification, audio challenge, keyholder dispatch and Garda escalation are handled in one command centre, by operators who know your site protocol, with no third-party handoff in the chain.

Every capability below is delivered by Manguard Plus technicians and monitoring operators – no subcontracted install, no third-party monitoring agreement.

EN 50518:2019 Cat I · PSA · ISO

The CCTV partner other Irish providers can't be.

Most CCTV firms in Ireland either install cameras and pass monitoring to a third-party ARC, or monitor cameras installed by someone else. Manguard does both, in one accountable chain, from the first EN 50518:2019 Category I certified command centre in the country.

That matters because Category I is the highest tier of the European standard governing alarm receiving centres – it covers construction, resilience, redundancy, staffing and operating procedures. When a camera triggers on your site, the operator handling it is sitting in a centre engineered to that standard, with no third-party handoff between detection and response.

FAQs

Commercial CCTV Questions, Answered.

The questions enterprise security and facilities teams ask before specifying a CCTV partner.

Both. Manguard Plus is PSA licensed for CCTV installation and our technicians specify, install and maintain full systems from camera selection through to commissioning. The same systems can then be remotely monitored from our Command and Control Centre, giving you a single accountable provider for design, install, service and 24/7 monitoring.

Yes. We carry out a site survey of existing cameras, recorders and network infrastructure, then design an integration path that keeps usable assets in service and replaces only what is end-of-life or unsuitable. This is particularly relevant for multi-site estates where camera generations vary by location.

EN 50518:2019 is the European standard for Alarm Receiving Centres. Category I is the highest tier and covers the construction, resilience, staffing and procedures of the monitoring centre itself. Manguard Plus operates the first EN 50518:2019 Category I certified ARC in Ireland, which means CCTV alarms from your site are handled in a centre engineered to the strictest European standard for continuity and response.

Operators in the Command and Control Centre review the verified alarm in real time, apply the agreed site response protocol, and coordinate the appropriate action – audio challenge, keyholder dispatch, mobile patrol or Garda escalation. Response targets are agreed per site as part of the service specification rather than quoted as a single national number, because they depend on site geography and protocol.

Both. The right choice depends on bandwidth, retention requirements, regulatory constraints and how many sites need centralised access. We specify on-premise NVR, cloud-backed hybrid, or fully cloud-managed VMS based on the site survey and your IT policy, and document retention periods in the service agreement.

CCTV footage is personal data under GDPR. Manguard Plus operates retention, access logging and disclosure procedures aligned with the Data Protection Commission’s CCTV guidance. We support clients on signage, retention periods, subject access requests and data sharing requests from An Garda Siochana so the system stays compliant in day-to-day operation.

Yes. Multi-site enterprise estates are a core part of our practice – pharma campuses, data centre portfolios, logistics networks and retail estates. Centralised VMS, role-based access and a single point of monitoring through the Command and Control Centre let security and operations teams manage every site from one platform.

Every installed system is covered by the Manguard Plus Quality Management System and a planned maintenance schedule, with reactive callouts available 24/7. Visit frequency and SLA are agreed per site based on system criticality and operating environment, and recorded in the service agreement.
