Late last night, our Central Station operator, Chaz, received an audio alarm from a business we secure. Our unique audio detection technology picks up noises on the outside of the building, and Chaz heard what sounded like banging on the door. Sure enough, local law enforcement arrived on the scene and apprehended the suspect, who seemed to have been under the influence. Sonitrol’s audio detection allows apprehensions to be made even before suspects gain entry into a business. Nice job, Chaz and police!

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.

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?

Video verification allows faster police response.
With Sonitrol’s video alarm verification, when your alarm is triggered, our Central Station operators can quickly review the audio and camera footage from within your business to verify an intrusion. This allows our team to dispatch law enforcement and provide real-time information and details about the break-in. Law enforcement can in turn respond to the alarm as high priority, which typically yields faster police response times than your average alarm provider. At the same time, business owners can watch the video from the Sonitrol Mobile App to see what our Central Station team is viewing. Call us at 1(800)444-1191 to get a FREE assessment from our Security Design Consultants. Watch the video below to see how verification works:
Audio apprehension!
Just after two a.m., our Central Station operator, Chaz, received an audio alarm that sounded like machine noise and then metal being moved at a business with one of our verified alarms and dispatched police. Law enforcement arrived and made an apprehension before anything could be stolen. Way to go, Chaz and Muncie Police Department!

Developed by a police officer and an inventor…
Did you know that over fifty years ago Sonitrol was developed by a police officer and an inventor? Combining the creativity of the inventor, Bob Baxter, and the perspective of Al Cronk, a police officer, Sonitrol was launched with the purpose of decreasing false alarms that police responded to and more importantly to INCREASE criminal apprehensions. Baxter’s innovations in audio technology allowed a monitoring team to listen in to a commercial property that had Sonitrol armed and to verify to responding police that a break-in was in progress. Today, Sonitrol is the 3rd largest commercial security company in North America. Call us at (800) 444-1191 to get a free assessment to protect your home or business!
