Comprehensive security from Sonitrol
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.
Protecting Schools
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.

Audio-intrusion alarms are trusted by police.
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.

Around the clock protection
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.
Access Control adds another level of security
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.
