Suspect apprehended!

by

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! Call us for a free quote at (800)444-1191, so we can protect your property.

Our alarms catch the criminals.

by

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

by

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.

Why choose Sonitrol?

by

Sonitrol’s verified alarms are reliable. The false alarm rate of conventional alarms can reach 98 percent. Sonitrol’s ability to immediately verify an alarm keeps our false alarm rate low. Our local Central Station operators monitor alarms 24 hours a day and can detect a break-in while an intruder is attempting to gain entry into a building. As soon as an alarm signal is received, an operator begins to listen to live audio from your building, verifies a break-in, and then dispatches and relays details to responding law enforcement. When paired with SonaVision, our Verified Video Monitoring, operators can even provide police with suspect descriptions and exact locations.

No other system can give police such accurate, up-to-the minute information to help them as they respond to the scene. The result? Sonitrol has a high apprehension rate, (182,700 apprehensions and counting), low false alarm rate, and increased safety for police officers.

We offer comprehensive security solutions for all. Our services include: Verified Audio Detection, SonaVision (Verified Video Monitoring), Cameras & DVRs, UL Fire Systems, Access Control, Medical Alert Pendants, & Panic Buttons.

Prevent break-ins with a Verified Alarm

by

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?
