Just the facts on Verified Audio Systems
A couple of months ago, I was introducing our verified audio systems to 7 Chamber of Commerce members when one of them said, “It sounds a little bit like big brother to me.” In a world where privacy is valued and becoming a rare commodity, a system that can “hear you” may sound a bit intrusive on the surface.
I assured my chamber friend, that this is not a spy cam that we can turn on and off at our leisure. Let me explain how this patented technology works.
A verified audio intrusion detection system is one of the most powerful tools you can add to your security arsenal – and it is unique to the marketplace.
Unlike conventional alarms, verified alarms are sound based – not motion based – so when an alarm is triggered, monitoring professionals can actually listen in and determine whether a break in is in progress, or whether a false alarm has occurred. If it is a break in, police can be immediately dispatched and operators can relay real time information to the responding officers. If it is a false alarm, the system is simply reset by the operator without bothering the business owner or the police.
An operator can only hear audio:
- When the system is armed – and no one should be in the building after the system is armed
- Then the alarm must be triggered for operators to hear.
The system cannot be turned on by operators.
Because of the ability to verify alarms, verified audio systems have the highest apprehension rate and the lowest false alarm rate in the industry. For schools and businesses, panic buttons can be added to give users the capability to enable activation of live audio feed in the event of an incident during operational hours.
Benefits of a verifed audio systems include:
- Better Protection
- Early detection
- Alarm verification
- More comprehensive coverage across your facility than motion detectors
- Ability to identify intruders who enter the building unconventionally
- Critical information for responding law enforcement
- Higher apprehension rate than conventional security
