The 4 Benefits of an Intrusion Detection System

Businesses like yours face many hazards to their welfare. Break-ins are some of the most common. But what if you could potentially prevent these situations before they even happen? SONITROL’s signature Audio Intrusion Detection System is patented technology with incredible features to solve these problems for your business in the most convenient way possible.

What Is an Intrusion Detection System?

An Intrusion Detection System monitors any malicious activity or entry on the premises of the monitored area. SONITROL’s verified technology can detect unauthorized intrusion to your business and report it to the authorities. However, it offers many more features than your typical security system, such as patented audio detection and video verification, state-of-the-art monitoring, and immediate communication with dispatch authorities once a threat is detected. It’s the most secure system to protect your business.

Why Does My Business Need One?

The need for security and intrusion prevention for businesses is greater than ever. Employee theft, robbery & burglary, workplace violence, fire, vandalism, false alarms—the list of problems that commercial and business offices face are endless, and costly. Employee theft can average up to $40 billion in losses per year—burglary alone accounts for $4.7 billion in that number of losses. 

Due to their value, studies show that businesses are four times more likely to suffer burglaries than homes. There are more than 5,000 cases of workplace violence reported every day in the U.S. A study of retail chains found that theft and shoplifting cost retailers nearly $25 billion in losses. 

If that wasn’t bad enough, approximately 75% of employees steal from their workplace. Around 30% of burglaries are of non-residential buildings, and inventory shrink accounted for 1.38% of retail sales last year. With the number of risks involved, there is tremendous value in protecting your business, employees, and assets with an intrusion detection system.

Benefits of an Intrusion Detection System 

1. Complete Coverage

SONITROL is sound-based instead of motion-based, which allows for wall-to-wall, complete volumetric protection using patented audio detection technology. This means it can detect any unwanted intruders who enter the building unconventionally, but can also tell the difference from authorized entries. This is a huge improvement from perimeter protection systems. 

2. Early Detection

SONITROL’s technology catches early warning signs like sounds of break-ins, since it’s sound based and not motion based. It can pick up the smallest frequencies and cover weak spots that security personnel may miss. And, it can pick these signals up faster and earlier than typical security systems. Our solution has a much higher apprehension rate than conventional security systems.

3. Minimal False Alarms 

Older, less secure systems can cause false alarms that draw emergency professionals away from true emergencies. For every false alarm your system triggers, it can incur expensive fees for your business. Everyone loses in those situations.

SONITROL’s system, however, reduces these situations. When an intruder triggers an alarm, our highly-trained monitoring professionals will listen and watch to determine whether a break-in is truly in progress. If it is indeed a break-in, we immediately dispatch police and relay real-time information to the responding officers. If it’s a false alarm, we reset the system without bothering you or the police. You can add hold-up alert capabilities to your system and can automatically activate a live audio and video surveillance feed in the event of a robbery. 

4. Faster Police Response Time

False alarms aren’t only dangerous because of the fees they can cause—it can lead to officers responding less quickly to actual emergencies at your business if you have a history of false alarms. Verified security systems like SONITROL’s allow for faster, prioritized police response since they know for sure there’s a problem, thanks to a reliable system. 

How do you know our system is reliable? The stats prove it:

• Verified security systems enable one apprehension every 111 minutes

• 20% of apprehensions are made prior to the intruder’s entry 

• There’s been over 180,000 law enforcement apprehensions thanks to SONITROL—and the number gets higher every day
