Another satisfied customer reached out to us this week after our Central Station team responded to an alarm, preventing a theft. Sonitrol operator, Liz, received a video alarm just after midnight. When she saw the individuals in the lot attempting to steal old A/C units, she alerted the customer and dispatched EPD. This was a recently installed camera system sold by Sherri to protect the customer’s outdoor inventory. In the attached picture on the bottom left, one of the individuals can be seen sneaking around. While there was no apprehension made, the customer was pleased with the quick response, which prevented a theft. Great job, Liz and EPD!

Fire monitoring prevents loss of life and property!
Over the weekend, Sonitrol’s Central Station operator, DJ, received a fire alarm at an apartment complex we protect and monitor. DJ dispatched the fire department, who responded at once. Evansville Fire Department found a garbage bag smoldering due to a lit cigarette in the hallway of the building. They put it out before it grew and ventilated the apartment building. This could have been a MAJOR disaster-from loss of life or injury to property damage- had the fire system not been monitored by our 24-hour Central Station. Not only do we install commercial fire systems for housing, warehouses, medical offices, commercial businesses, and more, we monitor them, providing emergency response around the clock. Great job, DJ! Excellent work, Evansville Fire Department!

Suspect Apprehended!
Shortly after midnight, our Central Station operator, Chaz, received an audio alarm and picked up sounds against the door of a pharmacy we monitor. He immediately dispatched police as he recognized the sounds of a break-in attempt. He accessed the video cameras and alerted responding officers that two suspects were inside the store, one in a hoodie. While one suspect evaded police, the other was apprehended, and all the merchandise was recovered by police, leaving only a damaged door.

Verified audio vs. traditional alarm
Using innovative audio sensors and verified technology, Sonitrol provides 100% coverage of your commercial property. This means, we provide floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall protection. Here are a few reasons to consider a Verified audio alarm from Sonitrol vs. a traditional alarm:
- Traditional alarms often rely on motion detectors, which leave areas unprotected. Criminals may plan an intrusion in advance, allowing them to find an unconventional method of entry and simply tip toe around the motion detectors they scoped out. It has been known to happen. However, with Sonitrol, our audio sensors detect any disturbance in your business and can’t simply be tiptoed around. If the bad guys are trying to break-in or have gotten inside the building, they will make noise, and our monitoring team will hear them.
- In the event of an alarm, our Central Station monitoring team will listen-in via the audio sensors and determine if a break-in is occurring and dispatch police. Traditional alarms can be set off by something as simple as a mouse, meaning they will dispatch police to an alarm without knowing if a break-in is really happening, and often for no actual break-in. This leaves responding police frustrated at the false alarm and leaves the business with the city’s false alarm fees to pay.
- In the very unlikely event of a false alarm on one of our accounts, Sonitrol will pay the city’s false alarm fees for you.
- Our ability to verify alarms helps us have the lowest false alarm rates and the fastest police response. With our advanced audio technology and our highly skilled team of men and women at our local Central Station monitoring location, we can determine a true break-in and alarm, so police know they are headed to a real alarm.
- Sonitrol has the highest documented apprehension rate compared to traditional alarm companies. With over 182,700 apprehensions and counting, Sonitrol is a name you can trust to protect your business.
When looking for an alarm company, choose one that provides 100% coverage of your business and has a proven record of catching intruders. Call Sonitrol today for a free quote with a security design consultant at (800)444-1191.
