Alarm Installation in Dublin 8, The Liberties to Kilmainham

Dublin 8 is the heart of the old city. The Liberties, St Patrick's Cathedral, Thomas Street and Meath Street, the Guinness Storehouse drawing crowds all year, Kilmainham Gaol and IMMA, Portobello along the canal, and the long stretch of the South Circular Road out through Rialto, Dolphin's Barn and Inchicore. Housing here is tightly packed: artisan cottages, Victorian terraces, converted houses split into flats, and a wave of new apartment developments.


Sonic Security Systems installs alarms across Dublin 8 with one professional installation, paid once, with no monthly subscription and no contract. Our base is at 6 Fern Road, Sandyford Business Park, Dublin 18, around 20 to 25 minutes away.

Inner city homes need inner city thinking

Dublin 8 properties have thin party walls, front doors straight onto the street, shared access in converted houses and rear laneways behind many terraces. Add high footfall around the tourist sites and a large transient rental population, and the case for a good alarm is obvious. The case for a monthly contract is not. See our other services here.

We also cover all of Dublin.

What Dublin 8 customers tell us:

  • "Our front door is right on the footpath and people are passing all day and night."

  • "We rent the upstairs flat and want the two units secured separately."

  • "The back of the terrace opens onto a laneway."

  • "We were quoted a long contract and we just want a system we own."

A couple in an artisan cottage off Cork Street wanted the front door, the rear yard and the skylight covered without any visible cabling in a small house. We fitted a compact wireless system with contacts and sensors placed to cover every entry, connected it to their phones, and there is no monthly fee. People from Dublin 8 are getting unmonitored alarm setups with a regular alarm servicing.
