Verified Audio & Video
Intrusion
Our patented audio and video intrusion detection system verifies threats to help reduce false alarms and increase police response, resulting in less damage and fewer stolen goods.
The Risks of Unverified Alarms
Unverified alarms are a relic of the past. These systems risk wasting your business's money and resources, as well as the public's, by distracting emergency services from real security incidents.
False Alarms
False alarms can cost you, your business, and the community. A false alarm can divert police time and resources from other emergencies and cost you and your business in false alarm fees. False alarm fines are becoming increasingly common across major cities, with fines increasing with subsequent false alarms. More importantly, some cities require alarms to be registered, and police will not respond to unverified alarms.
Slower Police Responses
On average, police arrive on the scene of a traditional, non-verified alarm within 45 minutes. By the time they arrive, an intruder could have already caused significant damage and fled the scene. In fact, apprehension rates for traditional alarms are so low (less than 1%)* that there’s typically a low probability of you recovering any business losses.

Verified Audio & Video Intrusion
Verified Intrusion System
You need a reliable security system you can trust. With a verified SONITROL intrusion alarm system, law enforcement prioritizes response to the alarm, reducing potential loss to your business and increasing the chance of criminal apprehension.
Patented Audio Sensors
SONITROL uses audio sensors with patented technology to detect intrusions from impact-activated audio sounds, such as glass breaking or someone trying to enter your facility through doors, windows, walls, ceilings, and more.
Once our sensors detect a break-in-related sound, an alarm is immediately sent to our central station operators, who can listen in, verify an intrusion is taking place, and dispatch the proper authorities.
Our intrusion detection audio sensors offer wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling volumetric protection. In turn, our audio sensors can detect break-in activity faster than video surveillance or motion detectors.
Video Verification
When our verified audio intrusion detection is paired with a video surveillance system, live monitoring agents can better verify if an intrusion has occurred. When they receive an alarm, they can review recorded or live video to determine if there is a security incident.
This added layer of verification gives agents more information about the situation, which they can relay to law enforcement. Providing law enforcement with detailed information about an intruder's location in the facility improves officer safety and increases the chance of apprehension.
Additional Intrusion Capabilities
In addition to our audio and video verification, SONITROL offers panic buttons for customers needing intrusion or emergency alarm monitoring during business hours. If a panic button is triggered, our central station monitoring professionals can listen or watch into your business and alert law enforcement of the emergency, giving them real-time information.
Based on business needs, we will tailor our security products to your building, offering the most comprehensive security. SONITROL offers window and door contacts, wireless sensors, video camera systems, door readers, access credentials, and more.
