Here’s how Sonitrol’s unique verified audio detection system works
For nearly 50 years, Sonitrol’s verified audio detection technology
has made it possible to hear what’s happening when you’re not around.
Strategically placed sensors throughout your premises allow Sonitrol to
hear the sounds of abnormal activity as they occur in your facility.
Intruders are not alerted, so they’re more likely to be
apprehended—often before they enter the building.
Click to listen to audio recordings of actual break-ins.
When the system is activated, here’s what happens:
- The system immediately alerts the Sonitrol Monitoring Center. The system transmits the sounds of the break-in attempt and a code describing the location of the activated audio sensor.
- Professional operators listen silently to live audio from your facility. Trained
operators are on duty 24/7 to determine and verify the nature of the
sounds while reviewing pertinent customer data on a computer screen.
They’re assigned to your account, so they know which sounds are
“normal” and which are not.
- Operators take appropriate action. As
necessary, our skilled operators will call the proper authorities
immediately or reset your system without disturbing you or safety
officials.
- Verified dispatch and apprehension. Police respond quickly to a verified crime in progress. Our skilled operators stay on the line to rely pertinent information.
Our unique ability to verify each audio activation helps minimize
dispatches to false alarms and has earned Sonitrol the trust of police
and fire officials throughout North America. Average response time to a
Sonitrol alarm is seven minutes, compared to upwards of 45 minutes for
a non-verified alarm.
