Verified Audio & Video
Intrusion
SONITROL's verified, patented audio and video intrusion detection system is one of the most powerful tools you can add to your security arsenal.
The Challenge with Non-Verified Alarms
If it’s not verified, it’s simply guessing.
Non-verified alarm systems pose two challenges to business owners and emergency services: an increased risk of false alarms and slower police response times.
False Alarms
False alarms can be costly to 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 alarms fees. Additionally, many cities now require a form of security verification to dispatch police and emergency services.
Slower Police Response Times
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
Our 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. Our verified alarm systems are sound-based – not motion-based like convention alarms, offering wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling volumetric protection.
The Patented Technology
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. Any verified intrusion detection alarm is immediately sent to our central station operators who can listen in and verify an intrusion is taking place and dispatch the proper authorities. Adding video cameras to your security system gives your business an extra layer of verification where operators can see into your business, gaining more insights into the break-in.
How It Works
You leave for the day and set your alarm, if a break-in occurs, 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. Giving law enforcement this valuable, detailed information about where an intruder is located in the facility, provides extra safety for responding officers and increases the chance of criminal apprehension.
A Full Intrusion System
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.
