Over fifty years later, we continue to protect commercial and residential properties with innovative technology and a team of professionals who are always on the job twenty-four hours a day. Call us for a free consultation at (800)444-1191. We love this excerpt from an archived interview with Dr. Standring:
The SDM 100 Report, from Security Dealer Magazine, ranks top alarm companies nationwide and has been published each year since 1991. Sonitrol of Evansville is proud to have ranked in the top 100 every year since 2009, this year at 78 in the industry. The SDM 100 Report looks at U.S. companies that earn their revenue from the sale, installation, service, and monitoring of electronic security systems, such as intrusion, fire alarm, access control, and video surveillance, including residential to commercial. We are thrilled that our family-owned and locally operated company stands out in this nationwide report. 
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!

Security Dealer Magazine ranked the top alarm companies nationwide for their annual SDM 100 Report, and Sonitrol of Evansville made the list at number 79 in the industry. SDM looks at U.S. companies that earn revenues from the sale, installation, service, and monitoring of electronic security systems, such as intrusion, fire alarm, access control, and video surveillance, from residential to commercial. The SDM 100 Report has been published since 1991, and Sonitrol of Evansville is happy to receive our SDM 100 2022 plaque.
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. If you are interested in a company that provides superior commercial alarm system monitoring and that is trusted by police, call us for a free quote at (800)444-1191.
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.
When you have a business security system with cameras from Sonitrol, you have a team of security professionals working to keep your business safe twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Our local, U.L. listed Central Station never closes, and our Central Station operators are available around the clock. 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.

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.
