Friday night, our Central Station operator, Maye, received a video alarm on the roof of a school we monitor. She saw two juveniles on the roof and dispatched police. In this case, the kids took off before police arrived, and no damage was done to the building. In other cases, would-be criminals are known to access rooftop areas with the sole purpose of stealing copper from outdoor A/C units. Many of our customers rely on this type of video system to protect their rooftop units from criminals.
As the price of copper continues to rise, criminals target rooftops and outdoor areas of commercial properties because they assume no one can see them in the dark. Sonitrol’s Video technology is dependable. Once we receive a notification, we can view the video clip or view high-definition live stream video, depending on the video system in place, allowing us to provide details to responding law enforcement. Call us at (800) 444-1191 to choose the Video system for your commercial property.
