You might remember these all-star Central Station operators from recent Sonitrol news. Chaz Fields dispatched on an alarm we monitor that resulted in an apprehension after suspects tried to rob a pharmacy. All merchandise was recovered! Maye Kincaide dispatched after receiving a video alarm of trespassers on a school roof. Not only are these operators on top of their monitoring game, but they were also both recognized this week for PERFECT attendance for the 4th quarter in Central Station. Way to go, Chaz and Maye! Our team is dependable and ALWAYS ON THE JOB.
Suspect Apprehended!
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. (Some of the video we had to leave out for privacy).

Minimize water damage with a verified alarm
While we can’t prevent pipes from freezing and bursting, we can monitor your business property with a verified fire alarm and alert you when this unfortunate crisis occurs. This past week, our Central Station monitoring team alerted customers and dispatched fire department on several fire alarms that were caused by busted water pipes. In one case, our audio alarm detectors picked up the sound of water running before the fire alarm went off and was able to let the owners know. The fire department responded to the incidents, and the water department shut the water off in the buildings so repairs can be made.
Rather than wait until the holiday weekend is over to return to a flooding business, protect your property with a commercial fire alarm from Sonitrol, so you can be alerted as soon as possible and minimize property damage. Call us for a free consultation with one of our security design specialists at (800)444-1191.

Our alarms catch the criminals.
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.

High-definition Video protects your business
Vandalism to company vehicles, broken rocks through windows, and stolen copper from HVAC units are just a few common crimes committed to the exterior of commercial properties. Many business owners opt to purchase DIY camera systems or to have cameras installed from a security company that doesn’t provide verification. But Sonitrol’s Verified Electronic Security sets us apart from them. We offer superior video and camera systems for your business needs. In fact, our high-definition video and camera systems are one of a kind.
While many camera systems just allow you, the owner, to view live video or play back feeds, Sonitrol also adds monitoring and verification to our systems. This means that when the criminals have targeted your property after hours, our team monitors the system and catches would-be perpetrators in the act.
There is no need to worry about the copper being stolen from the side of your business or about fenced in outdoor areas with inventory and work trucks being vulnerable to theft. We even offer thermal cameras in addition to our high-definition cameras.
How does it work? An outdoor thermal camera will alert our Central Station monitoring team when activated. Thermal cameras pick up temperature, so operators can then view the feed and determine if there is an animal, a person, or even a car disturbing your protected area. Then, they can access the high-definition cameras as well, to see precise, real-time views of your property. If there is a threat, they dispatch police, who can catch the criminals.
There is really no reason to buy a camera system that isn’t monitored by a trusted name in security. Our alarm plans are modular, so cameras can be added on to your existing Sonitrol alarm, fire, or access control system. Call us at (800)444-1191 so a Sonitrol design consultant can give you a free video and camera system quote to protect your commercial property.
Prevent break-ins with a Verified Alarm
A busted doorknob, shattered glass, a door kicked in, leading to a smashed cash register and broken merchandise displays. Dread, anger, and helplessness overwhelm you at the police reports and insurance claims to follow, and the knowledge that criminals broke in your business after hours and shamelessly stole what was yours.
Every business owner knows this is a real threat and possibility when they open a commercial location, yet all of this can be prevented with a Verified Alarm from Sonitrol. Our ability to verify break-ins or attempted break-ins in real time from our local 24-hour monitoring station sets us apart from traditional alarm companies that have lagging response times and non-verified alarms.
From the moment a thud is heard on the outside of your business door, roof, wall, or window, our innovative audio technology activates and lets our monitoring team listen in to analyze the threat. This means they can confirm an attempted break-in at the specific point where criminals are trying to get in, and they can provide law enforcement with these details.
Sonitrol has a criminal apprehension rate of 182,700 plus because our Verified Alarms catch intruders. Why worry about whether your property is safe after you lock up for the night?
