Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Team Sonitrol! We are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, thanks to a team of amazing people. We want to give our Central Station monitoring team a special shout-out for their hard work this holiday season keeping an eye on crime. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Outdoor lots are the constant targets of catalytic converter thefts. From businesses with outdoor vehicle inventory, whether maintenance, school, or business vehicles, to vehicles parked outside in a company lot, criminals flock to these locations. As a business owner, you may think a fence will keep your vehicles safe when you lock up for the night, but unfortunately, it takes more than that to deter these criminals. They quietly sneak through the dark over fences or gates and cut the catalytic converters from underneath vehicles.
What can you do?
A fence may deter them, slow them down, or even change their mind, but they are still obstacles criminals are known to get around. Still, having a good fence can’t hurt, so make sure your fences are built high and secure, with good locks and that your entire outdoor inventory is enclosed. At the very least, the fence will provide privacy and may even limit crimes of opportunity.
Keep your parking lot well-lit. Motion detector lights and well positioned lights around the lot can help prevent criminals from sneaking onto the lot. You can never have too many lights.
Consider putting in a monitored video solution from Sonitrol so we can CATCH THEM IN THE ACT. This is the most obvious solution to deterring catalytic converter thefts. Our outdoor cameras are top of the line, durable, and reliable. With a monitored video system, our 24/7 monitoring station will receive an alarm and know the instant anyone is near the property and begin viewing live video. This allows our team to dispatch police to the outdoor lot. It also allows our operators to provide descriptions of the suspects to police as they head to the scene. The best part? The criminals won’t even know the police are on the way, and police can apprehend them while they are still on the lot.

Let your closing staff feel at ease by having them set the alarm to occupied while they close out cash registers and lock up for the day. Panic buttons allow them to send for help if anyone tries to cause trouble.

In addition to our security plans, we offer fire systems that will alert our team the moment a smoke detector is triggered.

Protect your office day or night with a verified alarm from Sonitrol.
During the daytime, keep staff safe with managed access control. This allows you to choose who has access to different areas of the building, when they have that access, and to edit users. Each employee will carry their own key fob, programmed with their accessibility, so they can come and go through entrances. With access control, there is no need to worry about unauthorized people entering your workspace or off-limit areas. Access control is time stamped and dated with detailed logs for you to view at any time.
Add indoor and outdoor cameras to the office so you can prevent internal and external theft or settle slip and fall claims. Panic buttons are another great feature to alarms so that with the push of a button, our Central Station monitoring team can dispatch emergency responders to your location.
After hours, our audio-intrusion technology will keep the bad guys away, and our fire systems will alert us the moment smoke is detected. With over fifty years of securing the community, we are an industry leader in commercial alarms. Sonitrol alarms provide comprehensive coverage for your protection. Our security design consultants will tailor the system just for your needs. Call us for a free quote: (800) 444-1191.

In a few days, we will be saying goodbye to the Old National Bank building, the home of Sonitrol’s original Central Station. In 1969, Dr. William “Doc” Standring opened Sonitrol of Evansville and housed his alarm monitoring station, the “Central Station”, on the 9th floor of the Old National Bank building. Central Station is the hub of our operation, where our operators work around the clock to monitor and dispatch on verified burglar and fire alarms. Today, our Central Station is located a few blocks away in Sonitrol’s long-time location on Third Street. In fact, we can see the Old National Bank Building from our Sonitrol parking lot. We certainly can’t watch the implosion of our original Central Station home without getting a little sentimental, so please join us in saying farewell to the place our story began.
When it comes to protecting your business, consider a comprehensive security system from Sonitrol versus the other guys…
Traditional alarms rely on motion detector technology to protect commercial businesses after hours. Motion detectors are placed throughout the business, yet only go into alarm if someone has walked into their range of protection. Unfortunately, most criminals and intruders are aware of the limits of motion detectors and can simply stay out of their range. This means they might enter the facility, grab what they want, and flee the scene before the alarm is even triggered.
Sonitrol offers audio-intrusion alarms which provide 100% protection of your facility. This audio technology will detect the slightest noise within your business, even from the moment someone attempts to break in through a door, window, rooftop, or wall. The audio sensors provide wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling volumetric protection, meaning intruders won’t be tiptoeing around motion detectors. When they make any noise, which they will, our audio sensors will alert Central Station, where our 24/7 monitoring team will begin listening in to verify the alarm. Our operators can then dispatch police, who will get to your business, likely before the would-be intruders even realize they have tripped the audio alarm.
Why waste time with partial coverage of your business or property when you can have comprehensive security? Sonitrol also offers video monitoring, cameras, panic buttons, access control, fire alarms, and more. Call us for a free consultation at (800)444-1191.
Whether school is in session, or it is after hours, having a good commercial security system is crucial to protect your campus. With Sonitrol’s Safe Schools program, you can have comprehensive security, including panic buttons, video, access control, and fire monitoring.
When your school is protected by a Sonitrol alarm, you have a twenty-four-seven monitoring team at your fingertips. During school hours, if a staff member presses a panic button, our Central Station is instantly alerted. This allows our team to immediately dispatch law enforcement to the school. Once the panic is pressed, they can also begin to listen in via the audio sensors and even view live video if you have cameras. Then, they can relay critical information about the crisis to police as they race to the scene. If, for example, there is a threat, such as an active shooter, our team can provide details about the suspect’s appearance and location to the police. This helps our police be better prepared as they enter the facility. We have even added the latest in commercial security technology with Gunshot Detection to our Safe Schools program. Gunshot Detection is yet another way to guarantee police will be dispatched instantly during an emergency. We truly care about keeping your students, teachers, and staff safe!
If the school is locked up for the night, and the system is armed, our Central Station will be alerted the moment of any disturbance. With Sonitrol’s audio-impact technology, when a person makes noise as they attempt entry, such as breaking a window or beating a door with a crowbar, or even cutting a hole through a rooftop or wall, (which has been attempted before), the audio sensors will detect the noise. Our Central Station will dispatch law enforcement to the school at once. In many cases, police arrest suspects at school locations before they have even made it inside the facility. This prevents significant loss and often prevents any damages at all to your school. If you’d like to include indoor and outdoor video cameras with your system, we have many state-of-the-art camera options.
If a fire starts, our smoke detectors will alert our team, and fire departments will be dispatched immediately. Add access control to certain doors of your school to give staff a keyless mode of entry and to be sure only authorized personnel can access particular areas. Whatever your school security needs are, our security design consultants will walk through your facility and take the time to design the ideal system for you to make sure your students and facility are safe.
