Sonitrol provides fire alarms, in addition to security, at local businesses and schools. Last night, our Central Station operator, Maye, received a fire alarm at Central High School and dispatched authorities. Evansville Fire Department extinguished the fire that had started in the light board inside the school’s auditorium, and no one was injured. Thank you, Evansville Fire Department, for serving our community! And nice job, Maye!
While conventional security systems are motion-based, Sonitrol’s verified audio intrusion detection systems are sound-based. When an alarm is triggered, our Central Station monitoring operators can listen in to verify whether a break-in is in progress or if a false alarm has occurred. If it is a break-in, we immediately dispatch police and provide real-time information to the responding officers. Because of this ability to verify alarms, Sonitrol has the highest apprehension rate and the lowest false alarm rate in the industry.

In 1969, our founder, “Doc” Standring, opened his Sonitrol franchise, a verified electronic security company. 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:
When Standring opened Sonitrol of Evansville, he staffed it with part-time sales people and part-time installers. Standring himself worked weekdays as a dentist and evenings and weekends at his Sonitrol franchise. “We had very little overhead,” says Standring of the early days, “and I typed the invoices out on a typewriter at my house. I had a direct line in my office and when people would call me, they thought I was Sonitrol’s office.” Said Standring, “One of our first few customers was a personal friend who had a drugstore. We collared a guy coming through the roof the second night it was installed.”
With the purpose of providing sophisticated, verified alarms to his community in order to help law enforcement officers increase criminal apprehensions, in 1969, our founder, Dr. William “Doc” Standring opened Sonitrol. Our team continually contributes to Sonitrol’s North American record of 182,704 apprehensions and counting. We offer a variety of security solutions including the following: Verified Audio Detection, SonaVision (Verified Video Monitoring), Cameras and DVRs, U.L. Fire Systems, Access Control, Medical Alert Pendants, and Panic Buttons. A security design consultant is available to design the security solution for your property at (800) 444-1191.
When a traditional security company notifies police of an alarm, they aren’t typically aware of what tripped the alarm. Was it an air-conditioning vent that kicked on and knocked a poster off the wall? A warehouse critter that set off a motion detector? With Sonitrol, our team of operators can zero in through video, audio sensors, or both to determine what is actually happening at the location. Whether it is the sound of intruders whispering or knocking repetitively at an obscure point of entry, our team will be able to VERIFY to dispatch that a break-in is being attempted. This means law enforcement will have more information about the alarm they are responding to, and it also means less false alarms.

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. Call us at 1(800)444-1191 to get a FREE assessment from our Security Design Consultants. Watch the video below to see how verification works:
With Sonitrol’s access control, your business can decide which employees have access to various areas of your facility and tailor the hours they may gain entry through each door or elevator. Restrict who can come and go from your offices, your warehouse, or your lobby. Differentiate restrictions and permissions between night shift, day shift, and even management levels. Access control time stamps entries to show you who is going in and out of each area and helps protect your business from internal and external theft. Call us today at (800) 444-1191 to get a free quote for access control.
Did you know that over fifty years ago Sonitrol was developed by a police officer and an inventor? Combining the creativity of the inventor, Bob Baxter, and the perspective of Al Cronk, a police officer, Sonitrol was launched with the purpose of decreasing false alarms that police responded to and more importantly to INCREASE criminal apprehensions. Baxter’s innovations in audio technology allowed a monitoring team to listen in to a commercial property that had Sonitrol armed and to verify to responding police that a break-in was in progress. Today, Sonitrol is the 3rd largest commercial security company in North America. Call us at (800) 444-1191 to get a free assessment to protect your home or business!
Team Sonitrol’s Flavia and her daughter, Madison, took Subway and certificates of appreciation to EPD last night. They met with Officer Fahse, one of the officers who recently apprehended an intruder at an EVSC school we monitor. We also want to give a shout out to the crew not pictured: Officers Toney, Hallmark, and Maier. When our Central Station operators detect an intrusion, Evansville Police Department is quick to respond. Thank you, law enforcement officers, for all you do!
