Around the clock protection

by

Schools and businesses alike are vulnerable to crime, whether during daytime or after hours. With cameras and access control from Sonitrol, you can be sure your campus or business is protected around the clock.

With a variety of indoor and outdoor cameras, Sonitrol can help you rest easy when you lock up and go home for the night. Our indoor and outdoor cameras have a variety of features, allowing you to view video 24 hours a day from your computer or phone app. In addition, our Central Station team will be able to access live video in the event of an alarm or if someone at your location presses the instant panic buttons, alerting us to a threat. If a staff member presses the panic button because of a threat on campus or at your business, our team can dispatch emergency personnel and view live video to provide critical information to responding law enforcement. Anything our team might provide to the police officers, such as a suspect’s location, attire, and description, can assist officers as they approach the scene. Indoor and outdoor cameras can protect you as a business owner from any accidents or employee disputes and help settle matters quickly due to the playback video features.

Cameras paired with access control can allow you to put a face with authorized personnel using their access control key fobs to come and go from work. Access control keeps detailed logs of who entered each door, the time, and the date. Detailed reports are available for you if you need to be sure of which employee entered the business and when. Access control is designed so you can determine which hours every single person you employ is able to gain entry to the facility. Maybe you don’t want employees stopping by work after hours or on the weekend. Simply adjust their hours to what works best for your company. When an employee leaves or is let go, remove their access from the system or ask one of our Central Station operators to handle it for you.

Cameras and access control are just another way to secure your property. They protect from internal and external theft, crime, and can help settle many work-related disputes that may arise. Our systems are modular in design, so cameras, access control, and even fire systems can be added on to your existing Sonitrol audio intrusion alarm. Call us for a free quote at (800) 444-1191.

Access Control adds another level of security

by

Internal and external thefts alike can threaten your business. There is no reason to wonder or be concerned about internal theft if you have the right security features in place. With Sonitrol’s Managed Access Control system and cameras, you can be sure your operation is safe.

Access Control allows you to limit access to or restrict certain areas of your building from anyone, whether customers or employees. Keyless fobs are programed for each employee, so you can decide which areas and even which hours they may be able to enter. They simply wave their assigned fob to the reader, and if they are approved for entry, the light turns from red to green, and they may open the door. The same features are applicable for panels in elevators of your building.

There are many times access control provides you peace of mind when you are away from your business. If you have a cleaning service after hours, for example, or a third shift crew in the warehouse, we can design the system so they only have access to certain areas of the facility at specific times, making sure your offices or high value inventory areas are completely off limits.

Maybe you’d like to be sure that your daytime staff isn’t returning after work. You can easily tailor the hours and days they may access each entry of the facility. Access Control leaves a digital record of who entered each door, time stamped and dated for your records, so you never have any doubts of who went where and when.

Add cameras to the system, and you can also have video of who entered the facility if concerns arise. If an employee quits or is let go, you can easily deactivate their fob. Our Central Station team can make changes for you if you’d prefer and are available twenty-four-hours a day.

Choosing access control so only authorized personnel can come and go from your business is just one more way to secure your property. Contact us for a free quote at (800)444-1191.

High school apprehension alert!

by

Team Sonitrol would like to give a shout out to EPD for their recent apprehension at a local high school in the middle of the night. When operator Liz received an alarm at our Central Station, she dispatched police to the location. Officer Hallmark and Officer Pape made the apprehension inside the building. Other responding law enforcement included Officer Matthews and his K9 partner, Bohdan, Sgt. Deeg, Officers Reed, Gorman, Grimes, Cooper, Dockery, and Stepro. Flavia took cookies from the Granola Jar and a knife to Officer Pape, cookies to third shift, as well as a gift for K9 Bohdan. Pictured in photo one: Flavia and Officer Nicholas Pape. Photo two: Officers Gorman, Grimes, and Reed. Picture three (borrowed from EPD’s photos): Officer Matthews and K9 Officer Bohdan. GREAT WORK, Evansville Police Department and Liz!

Our Central Station sets us apart!

by

For over fifty years, Sonitrol has been monitoring commercial alarm systems for businesses, schools, churches, and medical facilities in the Tri-State area. In addition to top-of-the-line alarm technology, our local, U.L. listed Central Station is another factor that sets us apart from traditional alarm companies. We never hire third party monitoring companies, located across the country or overseas.

Located in the heart of downtown Evansville, our Central Station operates twenty-four-hours a day, seven days a week with a team of highly skilled individuals working various shifts around the clock. With backup emergency protocols, including generators to keep our monitoring up in the event of power outages, our Central Station never closes.

We have a team of operators who, in many cases, have been part of our Sonitrol family for decades. Our operators are not only vigilant to catch would-be intruders of businesses we monitor, but they also provide excellent service to customers. When you call in to ask questions about your account or with any concerns, you’ll get a friendly and helpful person on the line.

Because of Sonitrol’s innovative alarm technology and a team of dependable operators who can verify when a true break-in is being attempted, law enforcement trust Sonitrol. When our operators dispatch police, officers know they can expect to make an apprehension and secure a property for a local business or school.

Leave your worries behind with Access Control!

by

When you lock up for the night to head home, the last thing you want to worry about is anyone entering your business after hours, even someone who has a key. When you have a business security system with access control, you can leave your worries behind and know that our Sonitrol Central Station monitoring team will keep an eye on your facility.

Access control is a keyless system from Sonitrol that programs fobs to open your facility’s doors. This technology adds a layer of security to your system that not only keeps track of which employees are accessing each entrance or exit of your building, it keeps detailed entries of dates, times, and names of who opened any door. Maybe you’ve never worried about internal theft or disputes between staff. Access control allows you to have records, so you never have to wonder who entered your business, which door they used, or when a door was entered.

You can decide which employees have access to certain areas of your facility, and you can also edit the hours they have permission to go into those areas. Maybe you aren’t sure you want your morning shift personnel to access your inventory or sales area, for example. Tailor the access control for each employee. When an employee leaves or is let go, you can make changes to their access control or let our team handle it for you, so they no longer can use their fob to access the facility. Pair your access control with cameras, and you have another element of security, putting a face to each entry. If you are interested in a business security system with access control in Evansville, contact us at (800)444-1191.

Business Security Systems with Panic Buttons

by

As a business owner, not only do you want to protect your property and merchandise, but you also want to protect your team. Do your employees open early or close after dark when fewer people are around? Keep them safe by installing a business security system with panic buttons.

Sonitrol provides built-in and wireless panic buttons to fit your facility’s needs. From built-in panic buttons installed in out of sight areas for employees to secretly signal for help, to wireless and even lanyard panic buttons to conceal in their clothing, ensure your employees are always prepared for any unwanted threats or emergencies.

Our twenty-four-hour Central Station monitoring team regularly dispatches police for a multitude of businesses we secure. Our panic buttons help employees in convenient stores, especially late at night when unruly customers and even would-be thieves threaten employees near cash registers. With the press of a button, our Central Station operators send the police. Many businesses rely on our panic buttons to get police there when there is no time to call 9-1-1. When a panic button is pressed, our team can access any cameras we have installed in the store to view live video and provide responding law enforcement with critical details about the threat.

Our panic buttons are practical for banks, schools, jewelry stores, pawn shops, medical facilities, bars, and restaurants. While we can’t know when someone is going to cross a line or hold up a business, we can be prepared.

Business security systems with cameras

We never send out accounts to monitor at large, far away companies located across the globe. Our team is professional, friendly, and most importantly, they’ll be a voice of calm in the event of an alarm at your facility.

Not only will you, the owner, have around the clock access to your cameras from your phone or computer, our monitoring team will be able to access the cameras in the event of an alarm. This means, that if your system is armed for the night and we pick up noise or any disturbance after hours from the alarm, our team can view live cameras to see what is happening at your facility. We can dispatch law enforcement, while providing them with descriptions of the suspects attempting to enter your business. Of course, our team will notify you and any personnel you’ve requested that there is an alarm at your location, as well.

Indoor and outdoor cameras are available with our business security systems and are useful for many reasons. Keep track of areas with cash registers, high value merchandise, or parking lots. Prevent internal or external theft, with cameras strategically placed in such areas. Videos and images from the videos are time stamped and dated and can be used however you see fit to help identify suspects or to just keep an eye on day-to-day incidents at your property.

Add a panic button to your business security system so that, in the event of an emergency, staff can press the panic button for immediate help. Our team will dispatch law enforcement and be able to view live video to give responding officers details from the scene they are approaching.

Commercial alarm systems with cameras benefit the business owner

by

A Sonitrol commercial alarm system with cameras benefits you, the business owner, in so many ways:

  1. Regardless of whether your system is armed, you have 24/7 access to live video of your property. Simply view cameras from the app on your phone, tablet, or computer. Use playback to see previously recorded video or to take screenshots of images, time stamped and dated for your records.
  2. When your system is armed, our Central Station monitoring team will be alerted the moment of a disturbance at your location. This will give them access to live audio and video from your establishment, which will let them verify an alarm in progress. With verification, they can immediately dispatch police.
  3. Once police have been dispatched, the Central Station team will continue to monitor the situation, enabling them to report details about the suspects to responding law enforcement. The police will be better prepared for the crime-in-progress they are responding to, and that increases officer safety. Also, this will help the police know exactly where the suspects are inside of your business.
  4. Outdoor cameras will also protect your employees who might arrive early to open your business or who stay late to close for the night. Cameras can be positioned on parking lots and entrances to keep an eye out for their safety.
  5. Indoor cameras not only protect against external theft, but they also help prevent internal theft. There is no reason to risk employee theft when you can have an indoor camera system.
  6. In the event of an unruly customer or even a burglary during business hours, employees can press the panic button to notify Central Station. Our team can then access the cameras and see what is happening as they dispatch police.

For the optimal commercial alarm system with cameras, trusted by police, with over fifty years of experience in the alarm industry, call Sonitrol today at (800) 444-1191.

Four tips for School Security!

by

Vandalism, burglary, and violence are increasingly more common at schools and universities. What can be done to increase your campus security?

Here are four tips for increasing school security:

  1. Keep vulnerable areas well-lit. Keep entrances, windows, and as much of the area around your building safer with plenty of lights and motion lights that will activate after dark. Criminals are less likely to approach a well-lit building where they can easily be seen.
  2. Store valuables in interior buildings of the school where would-be intruders are less likely to see them from exterior windows.
  3. Install cameras that can record live video and play back video when incidents need to be investigated.
  4. Have a verified, comprehensive school security system that offers audio and video verification, panic buttons, access control and fire protection. Sonitrol offers the Safe Schools program, which is unrivaled in the industry.

Why Sonitrol Safe Schools Program?

More than 12,000 schools in North America trust Sonitrol to protect their facility. Sonitrol’s comprehensive school security systems are tailored specifically to fit your property’s needs.

Our audio and video systems integrate with our access control systems, fire systems, and panic buttons, leaving nothing for your team to worry about. Twenty-four-hours a day, our Central Station monitoring team will keep an eye on your school and send the proper personnel in the event of an emergency. Our audio intrusion technology will alert us the moment there is a disturbance after hours, and our team can listen-in and view live video to give responding police details from your facility.

Our managed access control allows you to determine which employees and staff have access to doors and offices. Our team can make changes to your system when employees leave or are let go, or you can edit users, as well. A time-stamped digital trail keeps a record of entries and exits, so you never have to question who accessed any area of the facility.

While school is in session, your staff can alert us to an emergency with the press of a wireless panic button, and our team will in turn access video and audio to give emergency responders critical details as they head to your facility.

Whether it’s an attempted break-in or vandalism after hours, a fire emergency, or an active threat on campus, our team has got you covered. Our expert design consultants will meet with you to tour your facility and give you a free security consultation and recommendation. We look forward to discussing Sonitrol Safe Schools program with you and securing your students, teachers, staff, and campus. Contact us at 1 (800) 444-1191.
