Business owners with unverified, conventional alarms are more likely to be the victim of burglary and theft than those with a verified, audio-intrusion alarm from Sonitrol. Why? Because of our innovative audio intrusion alarms, our Central Station operators can detect a break-in before the suspects have gained entry to the building, while they are still trying to break-in. This means the police can catch the intruders before they have even had a chance to get away with thousands of dollars in merchandise and before they’ve physically damaged the premises.
Why was the audio intrusion alarm invented?
This technology was created over fifty years ago by an inventor and his friend, a police officer who was tired of seeing traditional alarms let the criminals get away. By the time this officer, Al Cronk, would be dispatched to a business with a motion-based alarm, the bad guys had already done the damage, stolen merchandise, and fled the scene. That’s when he teamed up with Robert Baxter, his inventor friend, who had created the audio sensor. Together, they created an alarm company that perpetrators couldn’t outsmart. Audio intrusion alarms from Sonitrol have been trusted by law enforcement ever since because they catch intruders. In fact, Sonitrol’s current apprehension number is 182,000 and counting!
How do audio-intrusion alarms work?
Unlike conventional alarms that depend on motion detectors alone, our audio intrusion security uses sound-based technology that detects the faintest sounds, making them so much more effective than motion-based alarms. If an intruder uses a crowbar or anything to beat against a door, window, wall, or roof, or if they make noises, which they will, as they attempt entry into your facility, the audio sensors will alert Central Station. Our 24/7 monitoring team will listen-in at this point to determine if it’s something as simple as a warehouse mouse, the A/C kicking on, or if there is a real break-in attempt in progress. This allows them to verify the break-in and dispatch police. Since our alarms are silent, the bad guys won’t even know that the police have been dispatched and are on the way. Even if they make it inside the building before the police arrive, they will be leaving in handcuffs. Sonitrol has a proven history of criminal apprehensions and is trusted by law enforcement for a reason.

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.
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.
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!

APPREHENSION APPRECIATION! Sonitrol of Evansville salutes the law enforcement officers involved in multiple apprehensions at facilities we monitor this past May: Bud’s Harley- Davidson, Cedar Hall Elementary, and River City Pawn.
Bud’s Harley-Davidson:
K9 Officer Jeremy Matthews and his K9 partner tracked and located the suspects, who had fled to a vehicle nearby, after they had broken a window and gained entry to Bud’s Harley-Davidson. Multiple officers from the squad assisted, and six suspects were apprehended!
Cedar Hall Elementary:
Officer Grimes and Officer DeBlanc arrived first on scene at Cedar Hall Elementary and located the suspect, who had gained entry through a door that triggered the alarm. Other officers arrived to assist, but according to their Sergeant, Grimes and DeBlanc had the situation under control and the suspect in custody.
River City Pawn:
Officer Blair and Officer Mansfield were the arresting officers at River City Pawn after Sonitrol dispatched on a video alarm where our operator saw the suspect gain access to the roof before entering the building. Sergeant Saltzman, Officer Adams, K9 Officer Ross, and his K9 partner were on scene assisting as well!
It’s not easy tracking these hard-working officers and their K9s down since they are so busy keeping Evansville safe, but last night during third shift roll call, Team Sonitrol’s Flavia took toys and treats for the K9 officers and sandwiches from Subway for the human heroes. Pictured with Flavia are Officer Grimes, Officer Mansfield, and Officer Blair. THANK YOU, EVANSVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT, for keeping our community safe!
