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.

Shortly after midnight, our Central Station operator, Chaz, received an audio alarm and picked up sounds against the door of a pharmacy we monitor. He immediately dispatched police as he recognized the sounds of a break-in attempt. He accessed the video cameras and alerted responding officers that two suspects were inside the store, one in a hoodie. While one suspect evaded police, the other was apprehended, and all the merchandise was recovered by police, leaving only a damaged door.
With Sonitrol’s Impact Audio Alarms, EARLY DETECTION prevents intruders from breaking in and getting away with inventory. Though suspects eventually gained entry, because of our technology and team, the police were already on their way to the scene. When you pair your Audio Alarm with Video access, in this case, our SonaVision system, our team can provide further information to responding police, such as suspect locations and apparel. Contact us today to secure your commercial property at (800)444-1191. GREAT JOB, Chaz and Henderson Police Department! Check out some of the video to see what Chaz saw.

Sonitrol’s unique technology enables our twenty-four-hour monitoring team to verify a break-in, while providing responding law enforcement with details in real-time.
Most alarm companies depend on motion-detector technology, which means an intruder can find a nonconventional entry point, such as a roof, wall, or A/C unit, (it has happened), and bypass the door contacts. Once inside, they can estimate the range of the motion detectors and sneak about the store undetected. If they do set off a motion detector, the alarm will trigger, allowing them to steal what they want and get away before the police respond.
Unlike these mainstream companies, Sonitrol uses audio detectors, which have microphones that pick up any noises or disturbances in your store. Let’s say the intruders decide to beat against the wall, roof, or door. Before they have even broken in, the impact-activated audio detectors will notify our monitoring team, who can in turn begin listening to the audio in real-time. Our alarms are silent, so while the intruders are still attempting to enter the store, unbeknownst to them, our team has already verified the alarm and has dispatched law enforcement. Just last year, our audio detection technology and our monitoring team assisted police in apprehending six criminals who were trying to rob our local Harley-Davidson motorcycle store. The criminals left in handcuffs, and no merchandise was stolen.
Call us today to meet with one of our professional and courteous security design consultants at (800)444-1191. We would be honored to secure your store with a verified Sonitrol alarm.
