GME Fire & Security

Who's Walking Into Your School Right Now?

Visitor management, safeguarding compliance, perimeter security, IT protection, and fire safety across multiple buildings — educational campuses carry security obligations that most systems weren’t designed for. Ours are.

Visitor & contractor access management

Campus-wide CCTV systems

Safeguarding-compliant visitor control

IS 3218 fire detection for educational occupancy

Dublin & Leinster

The Three Security Gaps Most Common in Irish Schools

What's typically missing or wrong
No controlled entry at main reception — visitors walk straight in · After-hours alarm covering only part of the site — IT rooms unprotected · Fire alarm panel not at the right IS 3218 category for educational occupancy with students present

Frequently Asked Questions

Audio/video door entry at main reception, combined with an access control system and visitor log, provides the controlled entry management that satisfies Tusla requirements and school safeguarding policies. We design these systems for schools of all sizes.
Schools are subject to GDPR and must have appropriate signage, a data retention policy, and controlled access to footage. CCTV should not be placed in areas where privacy expectations are high (changing rooms, toilets). We advise on compliant positioning and data handling as part of every school CCTV installation.
Educational buildings require IS 3218 fire detection to the appropriate system category for the occupancy. Large campuses typically require addressable systems with zoned evacuation capability. Emergency lighting must meet IS 3217 with adequate duration and coverage for the student population.
Yes. We design networked security systems spanning multiple buildings on a campus, with centralised management from a single platform.
We plan all major installation work during school holidays where possible and carry out intrusive works out of hours during term time. We work closely with the school’s facilities team to minimise disruption.
